Abstract
A mechanism is provided for determining fragmentation in a computing environment. A simulation of virtual machine requests for resources in the computing environment is run for a predetermined time. The simulation is scaled down when the predetermined time exceeds a threshold. The scaling down includes scaling down the resources in the computing environment and/or scaling down a number of the virtual machine requests. The scaled down simulation is run iteratively to estimate relative fragmentation of the virtual machine requests against the resources in the computing environment.
