Sharing of compute resources between the virtualized radio access network (vran) and other workloads

A server, comprising:

• a memory to store data and instructions;
• and
• at least one processor in communication with a plurality of compute resources and a virtualized Radio Access Network (vRAN), wherein the at least one processor is operable to:
• identify a plurality of vRAN workloads and a plurality of other workloads;
• generate a performance prediction for each workload of the plurality of vRAN workloads that indicates a prediction for how long each workload of the plurality of vRAN workloads will take to complete;
• calculate based on the performance prediction a number of compute resources of the plurality of compute resources required for the plurality of vRAN workloads to complete by a deadline;
• schedule the plurality of vRAN workloads across the number of compute resources required;
• determine a remaining number of available compute resources of the plurality of compute resources;
• and
• schedule the plurality of other workloads across the remaining number of available compute resources.

A method, comprising:

• identifying a plurality of workloads to complete;
• generating a performance prediction for each workload of the plurality of workloads that indicates a prediction for how long each workload of the plurality of workloads will take to complete;
• identifying a quantile at a tail latency of the performance prediction for each workload of the plurality of workloads;
• calculating based on the quantile a number of compute resources required for the plurality of workloads to complete by a deadline;
• and
• scheduling the plurality of workloads across the number of compute resources.
