Managing utilization of storage class memory (scm) resources

An IHS (Information Handling System) on which one or more applications operate, the IHS comprising:

• one or more processors supporting a plurality of cache flushing operations;
• a Storage Class Memory (SCM) that comprises persistent data storage and further comprises volatile cache memory;
• a plurality of volatile memory devices coupled to the one or more processors, the memory devices storing computer-readable instructions that, upon execution by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
• determine operations supported by the one or more processors of the IHS for flushing data from the SCM;
• determine a first plurality of the one or more applications that are operating using the persistent data storage of the SCM;
• monitor invocation of the SCM flushing operations by each of the first plurality of applications;
• and
• determine a utilization of the SCM by each of the first plurality of applications;
• and
• a remote access controller comprising a memory device having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a logic unit, cause the remote access controller to:
• classify the first plurality of applications based the utilization of the SCM by the first plurality of applications, wherein the utilization by an application of the first plurality of applications is determined based on the monitored flushing operations by the application;
• and
• based on the classifications, identify a subset of the first plurality of applications to remove from operating using the SCM.

A computer-readable storage device having instructions stored thereon for managing use of a Storage Class Memory (SCM) by one or more applications operating on an IHS, wherein upon execution by one or more processors, the instructions cause the one or more processors to:

• determine operations supported by one or more processors of the IHS for flushing data from the SCM that is used to provide persistent data storage;
• determine a first plurality of the one or more applications that are operating using the persistent data storage capabilities of the SCM;
• monitor invocation of the SCM flushing operations by each of the first plurality of applications;
• determine a utilization of the SCM by each of the first plurality of applications;
• classify the first plurality of applications based the utilization of the SCM by the first plurality of applications, wherein the utilization by an application is determined based on the monitored flushing operations by the application;
• and
• based on the classifications, identify a subset of the first plurality of applications to remove from operating using the SCM.
