US 2015/0040133 A1 · MULTIPLE STAGE WORKLOAD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

Provided are techniques for multiple stage workload management. A staging queue and a run queue are provided. A workload is received. In response to determining that application resources are not available and that the workload has not been previously semi-started, the workload is added to the staging queue. In response to determining that the application resources are not available and that the workload has been semi-started, and, in response to determining that run resources are available, the workload is started. In response to determining that the application resources are not available and that the workload has been semi-started, and, in response to determining that the run resources are not available, adding the workload to the run queue.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

providing, using a processor of a computer, a staging queue and a run queue;
receiving a workload;
in response to determining that application resources are not available and that the workload has not been previously semi-started, adding the workload to the staging queue;
and
in response to determining that the application resources are not available and that the workload has been semi-started,
in response to determining that run resources are available, starting the workload;
and
in response to determining that the run resources are not available, adding the workload to the run queue.

5 more elements

A computer system, comprising:

one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories and one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices;
and
program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, to perform:
providing a staging queue and a run queue;
receiving a workload;
in response to determining that application resources are not available and that the workload has not been previously semi-started, adding the workload to the staging queue;
and
in response to determining that the application resources are not available and that the workload has been semi-started,
in response to determining that run resources are available, starting the workload;
and
in response to determining that the run resources are not available, adding the workload to the run queue.
