Resource management for parent child workload

Abstract:

For resource management for a parent child workload, a processor organizes a plurality of processes into a plurality of process groups. Each process group includes a given parent process and all child processes of the given parent process. Each process group has a process level. The processor further calculates a process cost for each process group and assigns a process priority to each process group based on the process cost for the process group. The processor iteratively assigns computing resources to subgroups of a given process group with a highest process priority at a given process level.
