Resource allocation within multiple resource providers based on the incoming resource request and the expected state transition of the resource requesting application, and selecting a resource provider based on the sum of the percentage of the resource provider currently used, the requesting load as a percentage of the resource provider's total resource, and the additional load imposed by the expected state of the requesting application as a percentage of the resource provider's total resource

Abstract

A device receives a request for an amount of a resource. It determines for each resource provider in a set of resource providers a current load, a requested load corresponding to the requested amount of the resource, and an additional load corresponding to an expected state of an application. It determines for each of the resource providers an expected total load on the basis of the current load, the requested load, and the additional load. It subsequently selects from the set of resource providers a preferred resource provider on the basis of the expected total loads. The resource may be one of the following: memory, processing time, data throughput, power, and usage of a device.
