Patent ID: 10140158

Abstract:
A method and a Host Machine Allocating Module (HMAM) for allocating a host machine. The HMAM is configured for managing information about latency ratings for pairs of groups comprising CPUs and memory units. Said each pair is associated with a respective latency rating. The HMAM receives a request for allocation, wherein the request indicates a first number of CPUs and a second number of memory units and a policy. The policy defines a distribution of the first number of CPUs and the second number of memory units with respect to sets of latency ratings. The HMAM distributes, based on the distribution, the first number of CPUs and the second number of memory units into clusters. The HMAM allocates said each cluster to at least one of said pairs of groups, wherein the respective latency rating of said at least one of said pairs is found to match, according to the policy, the respective one of the sets of latency ratings for said each cluster. A Latency Rating Information Generating Module and a method therein. Additionally, corresponding computer programs and carriers therefor.
