Abstract
An apparatus comprises a processing platform implementing a plurality of resources of converged infrastructure of an information processing system. A multi-dimensional scheduler is associated with the plurality of resources. First and second ones of the plurality of resources of the converged infrastructure are logically partitioned by the multi-dimensional scheduler into multiple virtual sets of resources for performance of processing jobs associated with respective applications such that the virtual sets of resources comprise respective portions of each of the first and second ones of the plurality of resources. An additional one of the plurality of resources of the converged infrastructure is time-shared between at least a subset of the multiple virtual sets of resources under the control of the multi-dimensional scheduler in performing the corresponding processing jobs associated with the respective applications. The multi-dimensional scheduler thereby operates over spatial and time dimensions with regard to different resources of the converged infrastructure.
