Abstract:
1. A method for determining whether to instantiate an application on one of a plurality of interconnected computers, the method comprising: receiving by one or more processor-based devices information regarding one or more of resources, including processing power, needed by the application to be instantiated on the one of the plurality of interconnected computers; receiving by the one or more processor-based devices information regarding the one or more of resources, including the processing power, available at the one of the plurality of interconnected computers on which the application is to be instantiated; receiving by one or more processor-based devices information regarding one or more application-specific maximum metrics of the application; receiving by the one or more processor-based devices information regarding one or more measured values for the application-specific maximum metrics of the application; determining by the one or more processor-based devices an indicator based on determining by the one or more processor-based devices whether to instantiate the application based on the determined indicator and a predetermined threshold, wherein when the determined indicator is greater than the predetermined threshold, the application is instantiated and when the determined indicator is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold, the application is not instantiated.
