Abstract
A scale out workload management system executing on a computer system controls simultaneous execution of multiple workloads. The computer system includes multiple nodes, where each node defines computer resources consumable by a workload. The scale out workload management system includes an application manager coupled to the nodes. The application manager controls start up and shut down of the nodes based on demands placed on the workloads. The scale out workload management system further includes a workload manager coupled to the application manager. The workload manager includes a monitor module that collects performance information from nodes on which the workloads are executing, an aggregator module that collects the performance information and aggregates the performance information from all nodes supporting the workloads, and a comparator module that compares aggregated performance information for the workloads to a performance target and determines if an allocation of nodes to the workloads should be changed.
