Multi-layer QoS management in a distributed computing environment

Abstract:

A system for multi-layer quality of service (QoS) management in a distributed computing environment includes a management node hosting a workload scheduler configured to receive a workload and identify a workload QoS class for the workload. The workload scheduler schedules running of the workload on compute nodes, translate the workload QoS class to a plurality of different resource layer QoS classes, and communicates the plurality of QoS classes to a workload execution manager of the compute nodes. The workload execution manager is configured to extend the plurality of different resource layer QoS classes to respective resource layers involved in the running of the workload.
