Abstract
In a storage system in which processor cores are exclusively allocated to run process threads of individual emulations, the allocations of cores to emulations are dynamically reconfigured based on forecasted workload. A workload configuration model is created by testing different core allocation permutations with different workloads. The best performing permutations are stored in the model as workload configurations. The workload configurations are characterized by counts of tasks required to service the workloads. Actual task counts are monitored during normal operation and used to forecast changes in actual task counts. The forecasted task counts are compared with the task counts of the workload configurations of the model to select the best match. Allocation of cores is reconfigured to the best match workload configuration.
