Abstract
For predictive computing resource allocation in a distributed environment, a model module generating a model of computing resource usage in a distributed computer system having a plurality of geographically distributed nodes organized into a plurality of clusters, a demand module predicting future demand for computing resources, a cost module calculating an operation cost for each computing resource, an available resource module identifying a set of available computing resources in the computer system, a resource set module that determines a minimum cost set of computer resources capable of meeting the predicted demand based on the set of available computing resources and on operating costs, and an activation module that determines whether to activate or deactivate each of the plurality of nodes based on the set of computer resources capable of meeting the predicted demand.
