Abstract
A method is provided for continuous optimization of allocation of computing resources for a horizontally scalable application which has a cyclical load pattern wherein each cycle may be subdivided into a number of time slots. A computing resource allocation application pre-allocates computing resources at the beginning of a time slot based on a predicted computing resource consumption during that slot. During the servicing of the workload, a measuring application measures actual consumption of computing resources. On completion of servicing, the measuring application updates the predicted computing resource consumption profile, allowing optimal allocation of resources. Un-needed computing resources may be released, or may be marked as releasable, for use upon request by other applications, including applications having the same or lower priority than the original application. Methods, computer systems, and computer programs available as a download or on a computer-readable medium for installation according to the invention are provided.
