Abstract:
1. A method of using a perceptron to facilitate dynamic reconfiguration of computer system resources that include a plurality of physical resources and one or more logical resources constructed upon the physical resources, the method comprising: operating a graph module to assemble a resource dependency graph representing a first distribution of the computer system resources among one or more containers configured to comprise resources allocated to tasks, wherein said resource dependency graph comprises: executing a partitioner configured to identify a second distribution of the computer system resources among the one or more containers that provides greater value than the first distribution as measured by an objective function for evaluating a configuration of the computer system resources, said partitioner comprising: if the perceptron predicts that one or more of said possible distributions would improve the objective function, initiating a reconfiguration of the computer system resources to implement one of the one or more said possible distributions.
