In one embodiment, a method includes empirically analyzing, by a computer cluster comprising a plurality of computers, a set of active reservations and a current set of consumable resources belonging to a class of consumable resources. Each active reservation is of a managed task type and comprises a group of one or more tasks task requiring access to a consumable resource of the class. The method further includes, based on the empirically analyzing, clocking the set of active reservations each clocking cycle. The method also includes, responsive to the clocking, sorting, by the computer cluster, a priority queue of the set of active reservations.

System and method for optimizing resource utilization in a clustered or cloud environment

In one embodiment, a method includes empirically analyzing a set of active reservations and a current set of consumable resources belonging to a class of consumable resources. Each active reservation is of a managed task type and includes a group of one or more tasks requiring access to a consumable resource of the class. The method further includes, based on the empirically analyzing, clocking the set of active reservations each clocking cycle. In addition, the method includes, responsive to the clocking, sorting a priority queue of the set of active reservations.

System and method for controlled sharing of consumable resources in a computer cluster

In one embodiment, a method includes calculating ideal resource apportionments from a current set of consumable resources for each of a plurality of reservations. Each reservation corresponds to one of a plurality of customers. The method further includes running an apportionment process relative to the plurality of reservations. The running includes attempting to apportion to each reservation its ideal resource apportionment. The running yields an actual resource apportionment for each reservation. Each customer's actual resource apportionment comprises a sum of the actual resource apportionments for the customer's reservations. In addition, the method includes, responsive to an indication of unapportioned resources following the running, performing a first optimization to increase resource utilization by at least one needy customer.
