Abstract
A method of managing an allocation of a plurality of resources of a computer system adapted to support a plurality of processes includes a step of selecting one of a plurality of policy modules to query according to a master policy, each policy module being associated with and managing an allocation of resources required by one or more of the plurality of processes. A query may then be issued to the selected policy module. Responsive to the issued query, a request for allocation of one of the plurality of resources may be received. A resource allocation order specifying the requested one of the plurality of resources may then be issued to a dispatcher, the dispatcher being configured to bind selected resources to selected processes. The resource allocation order may then be executed, the executing step being effective to bind the requested one of the plurality of resources to the process or processes associated with the selected policy module.
