Abstract

A method includes tracking, for each of a plurality of workloads, a wear rate incurred by a component of a given component type as a result of processing an instance of the workload on a compute node that includes the component. The method further comprises determining a remaining lifespan for a plurality of components in a plurality of compute nodes, and identifying a component from among the plurality of components having a remaining lifespan of less than a first threshold amount. Sill further, the method comprises identifying an instance of one of the workloads that needs processing and has a wear rate greater than a second threshold amount, and processing the identified workload instance on the identified component.
