A system for resolving a resource deadlock between processes. A shared data structure is maintained that includes process records of the processes. Process states and process priorities are defined for each of the processes. A respective state of the process is determined for each process based on the process states and process priorities of the process records maintained in the shared data structure. The respective state is used to allocate and deallocate resources to the process to mitigate and resolve the resource deadlock between the processes.

Deadlock resolution between distributed processes

A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes identifying a request to create a consumer within a converged system, defining the consumer within a hierarchy of consumers, where the consumer represents a function in an organization, setting a storage capacity attribute for the consumer, and conditionally defining a data volume for the consumer, based at least in part on the storage capacity attribute.

Management and utilization of data volumes in a converged system

A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes identifying a request to create a consumer within a converged system. Additionally, the method includes defining the consumer within a hierarchy of consumers, where the consumer represents a function in an organization. Further, the method includes associating the consumer with a plurality of storage resources and a plurality of computing resources. Further still, the method includes setting a storage capacity attribute for the consumer.

Management and utilization of storage capacities in a converged system

Embodiments of the present invention relate to CPU resource management in a computer cluster. A master node selects a CPU core of at least one compute node for an application from a computer cluster, and allocates a portion of resource of the CPU core to the application. The master node re-allocates a new portion of the resource of the CPU core to the application, in response to a trigger event for re-allocation.
