Abstract
A method and system to determine a computational resource requirement is described. The method and system rank one or more computational resources for each of the plurality of tasks in an ascending order, based on a cost associated with the plurality of tasks for each of the computational resource. Based on the ranked one or more computational resources and a fairness metric, the method and system allocates the one or more capacity units associated with the computational resource to perform the plurality of tasks. The method and system determines the computational resource requirement to perform the plurality of tasks based on the allocated one or more capacity units. The fairness metric ensures that allocation of the one or more capacity units to the plurality of tasks is performed in a manner to maximize the fairness.
