PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION OF WORKLOADS IN VIRTUALIZED INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEMS

摘要

Methods and systems for performance optimization of workloads in virtualized information handling systems may analyze a workload at a virtual machine executing on a hypervisor. A workload policy specifying hardware resources for allocation to the virtual machine may be generated. After allocation of the hardware resources to the virtual machine, the workload may be executed on the virtual machine. The hypervisor may prioritize hardware resources among a plurality of virtual machines.

1. A method for optimizing workloads on virtualized information handling systems, the method comprising:
receiving a workload request for a first virtual machine executing on a hypervisor executing on a virtualized information handling system, wherein the workload request specifies a computing task for execution at the first virtual machine, and wherein the hypervisor executes a plurality of virtual machines, including the first virtual machine; based on the workload request, determining workload attributes of the computing task, the workload attributes including dependency of the computing task on hardware resources accessible to the hypervisor; identifying the hardware resources available for allocation to the first virtual machine; based on the workload attributes determined and the hardware resources identified, determining a workload policy for the computing task, wherein the workload policy specifies the hardware resources used to execute the computing task at the first virtual machine; implementing the workload policy at the first virtual machine, including allocating the hardware resources specified in the workload policy to the first virtual machine; and executing the computing task at the first virtual machine in accordance with the workload policy.
