Hierarchical resource tree allocation

Abstract:

A method for resource management includes receiving, from a client, an allocation request for a resource, and assigning, to the client, a partition of a hierarchical resource tree. The partition is in multiple partitions of the hierarchical resource tree. The method further includes identifying a deallocated resource in the partition, and allocating, to the client, the first deallocated resource from the partition to create an allocated resource.
