Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for allocating multiple resources. In one embodiment, a configured resource plan is used to construct a hierarchical tree. The system then identifies a set of unowned resources from the configured resource plan and sends the set of unowned resource to a share pool. The share pool is either a global or local pool and can be accessed by one or more consumers. In response to changes in workload demands, a set of unused resources are lent to a global or local pool.
