Abstract
A system and method for operating fewer servers near maximum capacity as opposed to operating more servers at low capacity is disclosed. Computational tasks are made as small as possible to be completed within the available capacity of the servers. Computational tasks that are similar may be distributed to the same computing node (including a processor) to improve RAM utilization. Additionally, workloads may be scheduled onto multicore processors to maximize the average number of processing cores utilized per clock cycle.
