Abstract
A computing system may be configured to implement a plurality of agents each associated with a predetermined number of CPU cores and a predetermined amount of memory and to receive requests to perform tasks. A request may specify the number of CPU cores and amount of memory for performing the task. Allocation of resources may include determining multiple allocation profiles, each describing a possible allocation of cores and memory to the task from currently available CPU cores and memory associated with the agents. For each agent and for each of said allocation profiles, respective efficiency measures for memory usage and CPU usage may be calculated. An allocation profile may be selected using said calculated memory usage and CPU usage efficiency measures.
