Abstract

Resource allocation limitations include resource limits and resource guarantees. A consumer is vulnerable to interruption by other consumers if using more resources than guaranteed. Resources are designated and/or assigned consumers based on resource limits and resource guarantees. A constraint programming (CP) solver determines resource limits and resource guarantees that minimize vulnerability and/or vulnerability cost based on resource usage data. A CP data model includes limit elements, guarantee elements, and vulnerability elements. The CP data model further includes guarantee-vulnerability constraints, which relies on exceedance distributions generated from resource usage data for the consumers. The CP data model declaratively expresses combinatorial properties of a problem in terms of constraints. CP is a form of declarative programming.
