There is provided a method and apparatus for vectorized resource scheduling using multi-dimensional hierarchical arrays with a uniform data type. According to embodiments, the hierarchy of resources may be represented as a multi-dimensional array of a uniform data type in a scheduling context. This data structure is known as a tensor. In various embodiments, a tensor may be used to model each of resource usage, requested resources, resource capabilities, tenant resource usage, etc. There is provided tensor scheduling operations (e.g. tensor scheduling algorithms) to make use of this resource model. Some embodiments may exploit specialized hardware, such as GPUs and tensor-processing units, in order to accelerate the tensor scheduling operations.
