Abstract
A method for hierarchical workload allocation in a storage system, the method may include determining to reallocate a compute workload of a current compute core of the storage system; wherein the current compute core is responsible for executing a workload allocation unit that comprises one or more first type shards; and reallocating the compute workload by (a) maintaining the responsibility of the current compute core for executing the workload allocation unit, and (b) reallocating at least one first type shard of the one or more first type shards to a new workload allocation unit that is allocated to a new compute core of new compute cores.
