A method may be practiced in a distributed computing environment that provides computing resources to a plurality tenants. The method includes acts for allocating a limited set of system resources to the tenants. The method includes identifying a resource slice. The method further includes identifying an executing tenant workload. Checkpoint characteristics are identified for the executing tenant workload. Based on the checkpoint characteristics and the resource slice, a task eviction event is identified.

Equitable sharing of system resources in workflow execution

The subject disclosure is directed towards technology by which data transmission sizes are reduced when uploading files over a network. By processing hash values corresponding to a plurality of data blocks of a file to potentially be uploaded to a server, the server identifies any already known data block or blocks of the file. The server performs a server-local copy operation that writes the known data block into a server-local copy of the file. If applicable, the server returns hash values corresponding to unknown data blocks to a client, by which the client responds by uploading copies of the unknown data blocks. Accordingly, the client and the server maintain the server-local copy of the file by transferring only unknown data blocks.
