Abstract

In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, there are provided methods and mechanisms for determining an allocation of resources, including hardware resources in a computing environment. With these methods and mechanisms, it is possible for computing resource allocations to satisfy one or more operational considerations, such as for example without limitation: “reduce device heat dissipation”, “avoid single point of failure in switched network” and other allocation needs are contemplated.
