Techniques and architectures for protection of efficiently allocated under-utilized resources

摘要

A computing environment having a first plurality of executing processes being executed by one or more processors. The executing processes each have associated resources. The executing processes utilize the associated resources. A consumed portion of a resource that is utilized by a selected executing process from the first plurality of executing resources is determined. An unconsumed portion of the resource is estimated. A first preselected amount of the unconsumed portion is allocated for utilization by a process not in the first plurality. A second preselected amount of the unconsumed portion is reserved as a fence between the consumed portion and the allocated first preselected amount of the unconsumed portion.
