SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATICALLY SCALING COMPUTE RESOURCES BASED ON DEMAND

Abstract:

System and methods for automatically scaling compute resources in a compute group. The method includes determining compute capacity required to complete job requests and determining allocable compute capacity available on the compute resources in the compute group. The method further includes calculating a utilization of the compute group based on the required compute capacity and allocable compute capacity and determining whether the calculated utilization is above a first threshold value or below a second threshold value; upon determining that the calculated utilization is above the first threshold value the method calculates a number of compute resources required to bring the utilization below the first threshold value and causes an increase in the number of compute resources in the compute group based on the calculated number. Upon determining that the calculated utilization falls below the second threshold value the method causes a reduction in the number of active compute resources.
