ABSTRACT:
A mechanism is provided for estimating the computing resources needed to execute a job. The mechanism receives a request to execute a new job. The mechanism processes the request to determine a set of job characteristics for the new job, and accesses a database containing execution information for a plurality of previously executed jobs. The mechanism obtains from the database a set of execution information associated with a particular previously executed job having similar or identical job characteristics as the new job. From this execution information, the mechanism determines what computing resources were actually used to execute the particular previously executed job. Then, based upon this information, the mechanism derives an estimate of the computing resources needed to execute the new job. By estimating the needed resources in this manner, the mechanism relieves the user of having to guess at what resources will be needed to execute a job.
