    摘要: Resource management architectures implemented in computer systems to manage resources are described. In one embodiment, a general architecture includes a resource manager and multiple resource providers that support one or more resource consumers such as a system component or application. Each provider is associated with a resource and acts as the manager for the resource when interfacing with the resource manager. The resource manager arbitrates access to the resources provided by the resource providers on behalf of the consumers. A policy manager sets various policies that are used by the resource manager to allocate resources. One policy is a priority-based policy that distinguishes among which applications and/or users have priority over others to use the resources. A resource consumer creates an “activity” at the resource manager and builds one or more “configurations” that describe various sets of preferred resources required to perform the activity. Each resource consumer can specify one or more configurations for each activity. If multiple configurations are specified, the resource consumer can rank them according to preference. This allows the resource consumers to be dynamically changed from one configuration to another as operating conditions change.

    摘要: A system includes a resource manager that provides unenforced allocation of streaming I/O bandwidth from streaming I/O bandwidth providers (e.g., CPU, disk, etc.) to streaming I/O bandwidth consumers (e.g., software application, television, etc.). Unenforced allocation denotes that bandwidth allocation in response to a consumer request is not guaranteed, nor is a consumer guaranteed that, once bandwidth has been allocated, it will not be de-allocated and reclaimed by the resource manager for allocation to another bandwidth consumer, based on a priority assigned to the bandwidth consumers. A bandwidth manager is included in a streaming I/O bandwidth provider that provides unenforced allocation from that particular provider to streaming I/O bandwidth consumers, in the same manner as the resource manager described above. Adaptive applications (consumers) are described which can submit a modified request for less provider bandwidth from a bandwidth provider if an initial request for bandwidth is denied by the consumer. The adaptive application can operate adequately, if not optimally, on the lesser amount of bandwidth, if it is allocated.

    摘要: A system is configured to prioritize streaming disk I/O over non-streaming disk I/O by providing high priority queuing to streaming disk I/O and/or to throttle non-streaming disk I/O when the total disk I/O (streaming+non-streaming) exceeds a threshold amount for a given time quantum. When disk throttling is utilized, streaming disk I/O is processed in a first time quantum. Non-streaming disk I/O is processed, as much as possible, in the remainder of the first time quantum. Other non-streaming disk I/O remaining to be processed is deferred to a subsequent time quantum.
