RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN A NUMA ARCHITECTURE BASED ON APPLICATION SPECIFIED RESOURCE AND STRENGTH PREFERENCES FOR PROCESSOR AND MEMORY RESOURCES

摘要

An apparatus, program product and method in which application program-specified resource allocation and allocation strength preferences are used to allocate hardware resources from a computer for that application program. The resource allocation preference is used to allocate hardware resources for the application program, while the allocation strength preference is used to determine whether to allocate alternate hardware resources when the resource allocation preference specified by the application program cannot be met.
