Abstract
A hardware resource manager ( ) dynamically allocates hardware resources in a software-defined communications system. The hardware resource manager ( ) creates a specification of required hardware resources ( ) necessary for executing a system application. The hardware resource manager ( ) then creates a list of candidate hardware resources ( ) from the plurality of available hardware resources in response to an application creating its own abstract resource specification ( ) of required hardware resources. The hardware resource manager ( ) then maps each required hardware resource on the specification of required hardware resources to a least functional and most available candidate hardware resource on the list of candidate hardware resources in a manner that maximally preserves most functional and least available candidate hardware resources on the list of candidate hardware resources ( ).
