System and method to dynamically allocate varying processing capacity entitlements based on workload importance
A mainframe computing system hosts a plurality of logical partitions, each having a static entitlement of processing capacity. The mainframe computer system has a workload manager that schedules work requested by the logical partitions and tracks consumption of the processing capacity by the logical partitions, and a capping policy that is stored in non-transitory memory and which identifies a subset of the logical partitions. The mainframe computer system further includes a capping master that is configured to allocate dynamically varying entitlements of processing capacity to the subset of the logical partitions based on the high-importance work percentages of computing workloads running on the logical partitions to encourage completion of high-importance work over completion of low-importance work. The capping master limits the allocated dynamic entitlement amount in millions of service units per hour (MSU) for each system usage entity to be no greater than the static entitlement of the system usage entity.
DATA OFFLOADING PROCESSES AND SYSTEMS
A device may include a processor. The processor may sample a portion of a workload to offload to compute resources and a portion of a current workload of the compute resources. The processor may simulate offloading of the workload to the compute resources using the sampled portion of the workload, the sampled portion of the current workload, and telemetry data corresponding to the compute resources. The compute resources may be configured to perform the workload according to a plurality of offloading configurations. The processor may determine a rank score for each offloading configuration of the plurality of offloading configurations based on the simulations. Responsive to a rank score corresponding to an offloading configuration of the plurality of offloading configurations exceeding a threshold value, the processor may offload the workload to the compute resource corresponding to the offloading configuration that corresponds to the rank score that exceeds the threshold value.

Predictive scaling of datacenters
Examples described herein include systems and methods for efficiently scaling an SDDC. An example method can include storing resource utilization information for a variety of resources of the SDDC. The example method can also include predicting a future resource utilization rate for the resources and determining that a predicted utilization rate is outside of a desired range. The system can determine how long it would take to perform the scaling, including adding or removing a host and performing related functions such as load balancing or data transfers. The system can also determine how long the scaling is predicted to benefit the SDDC to ensure that the benefit is sufficient to undergo the scaling operation. If the expected benefit is greater than the benefit threshold, the system can perform the scaling operation.
