Application execution controller and application execution method

An application execution control method for instructing an execution of an application in a computing environment having a plurality of one or both of different amounts and types of categories of computing resources to allocate to executing applications;

• the method comprising:
• collecting:
• available resource information detailing configurations of computing resources available to execute the application, wherein the configurations each include an indication of respective amount and type of computing resource available in each of the plurality of categories of computing resources;
• application execution scalability information including, for computing resources in at least one of the categories, an indication of how the respective different amounts and types of computing resources in that category correlate with execution rate of one of all and a portion of the application;
• and
• performance target information including an indication of one or more performance targets for the execution of the application;
• the method further comprising:
• performing a selection of a configuration from among the configurations detailed in the available resource information which, based on the application execution scalability information will come closest out of the configurations to meeting, the one or more performance targets;
• and
• instructing the computing environment to execute the application using a selected configuration.

A non-transitory storage medium storing a computer program, which, when executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to perform an application execution control method for instructing an execution of an application in a computing environment having one or both of different amounts and types of categories of computing resources to allocate to executing applications;

• the method comprising:
• collecting:
• available resource information detailing configurations of computing resources available to execute the application, wherein the configurations each include an indication of respective amount and type of computing resource available in each of the categories of computing resources;
• application execution scalability information including, for computing resources in at least one of the categories, an indication of how the respective different amounts and types of computing resources in that category correlate with execution rate of one of all and a portion of the application;
• and
• performance target information including an indication of one or more performance targets for the execution of the application;
• the method further comprising:
• performing a selection of a configuration from among the configurations detailed in the available resource information which, based on the application execution scalability information will come closest out of the of configurations to meeting, the one or more performance targets;
• and
• instructing the computing environment to execute the application using a selected configuration.
