Abstract
A system and method for facilitating allocating computing resources to workloads, facilitating workload performance isolation. An example method includes determining one or more workloads to be allocated a set of computing resources in the computing environment, the one or more workloads characterized by metadata describing one or more workload properties; and using the one or more workload properties to calculate a binding between each of the one or more workloads and one or more corresponding portions of the computing resources. Plural competing workloads may be isolated by binding each workload to a disjunct set of Central Processing Units (CPUs) that share as few common hardware resources as possible given a topology the computing resources. Resource allocation adjustments need not require any reconfiguration of the system or adjustment to already provisioned workloads.
