Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A technique for predictive distributed resource scheduling and distributed power management includes analyzing patterns in the workload, predicting future workloads, and making recommendations for changes to the virtual computing environment. In addition, a cost-benefit analysis can be performed to determine whether the recommended change would likely result in improved performance.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for managing distributed computing resources in a virtual computing environment, comprising: receiving resource usage data of one or more virtual machines executing on a host computer; comparing the resource usage data to previously collected resource usage data of the one or more virtual machines; generating a prediction of future workload based on said comparing; generating a resource allocation recommendation based on the prediction; and…
