Abstract
A cluster manager of a computer cluster determines an allocation of resources from the endpoints for running applications on the nodes of the computer cluster and configures the computer cluster to provide resources for the applications in accordance with the allocation. The cluster may include a Peripheral Component Interconnect express (PCIe) fabric. The cluster manager may configure PCIe multi-root input/output (I/O) virtualization topologies of the computer cluster. The allocations may satisfy Quality of Service requirements, including priority class and maximum latency requirements. The allocations may involve splitting I/O traffic.
