Performance degradation based at least on computing application priority and in a relative manner that is known and predictable beforehand

摘要

A model is constructed to determine performance of each computing application based on allocation of resources (including at least one hardware resource) to the computing applications. How the allocation of the resources to the computing applications affects the performance is unknown beforehand. The resources are allocated to the computing applications based at least on the model. Where the resources are overloaded as allocated to the computing applications, performance degradation of each computing application is performed based at least on priorities of the computing applications relative to one another and on the model. Performance degradation reduces usage of the resources by the computing applications so that the resources are no longer overloaded. How the priorities of the computing applications affect the performance degradation in a relative manner to one another is known and predictable beforehand.
