Abstract
A resource management computer node obtains hardware utilization values measured for a hardware resource of a computer system being used by a software application. For a set of the utilization values that were measured during a same time-of-day range on a same day of week, the node determines a count value indicating a number of times the utilization values in the set exceed a count threshold, determines a count percentage based on a ratio of the count value to a sum of count values determined for the same day of week, compares the count percentage to a busy threshold, and, responsive to if the count percentage is determined to exceed the busy threshold, sets a busy indicator object at a location in a resource utilization data structure having a defined correspondence to the time-of-day range. The node controls reservation of hardware resources for the software application responsive to whether the busy indicator object has been set.
