Generating monotone hash preferences

摘要

Selecting a resource to fulfill a resource requirement is disclosed. For each resource requirement, a resource-specific affinity value is computed with respect to each of a plurality of resources. A bias is applied to each of at least a subset of the resource-specific affinity values. The biased, as applicable, resource-specific affinity values are sorted into a resource preference list. The sorted preference list is used to select a resource to fulfill the resource requirement.
