US 2017/0255493 A1 · MANAGING A SHARED POOL OF CONFIGURABLE COMPUTING RESOURCES USING A SET OF SCALING FACTORS AND A SET OF WORKLOAD RESOURCE DATA

Abstract

Disclosed aspects manage a shared pool of configurable computing resources associated with a shared pool manager. The shared pool manager receives a set of scaling factors. The set of scaling factors corresponds to a workload. Using the set of scaling factor values and a set of workload resource data, a configuration is determined. The configuration is established to process the workload. Disclosed aspects manage a shared pool of configurable computing resources associated with a registry. The registry is structured to have a set of workload resource data and associated scaling factors. A set of scaling factor values is detected. The set of scaling factors corresponds to a workload. Based on both the set of workload resource data and the set of scaling factor values, a set of resource attributes is determined to configure the shared pool of configurable computing resources for the workload. The set of resource attributes is communicated.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, by a processor, a set of scaling factor values which corresponds to a workload and a set of workload resource data of a virtual machine;
analyzing, by the processor, the set of scaling factors values with respect to the set of workload resource data to extract patterns to determine resource requirements for the workload;
dynamically determining, by the processor, based on the extracted patterns, a configuration of the virtual machine;
allocating, by the processor, based on the determined configuration, a shared pool of configurable computer resources to the virtual machine;
and
processing, by the virtual machine, the workload.
