Original Abstract Submitted
To predict hardware safety margins, historic records of hardware metrics indicating amounts of allocated and used resources for one or more software applications are obtained. Feedback metrics indicating performance issues for the software are determined based on the metrics. Then a histogram is generated plotting a frequency of the feedback metric using bins based on a difference between the allocated resources and the used resources. A threshold value is determined for the difference by iteratively determining, starting with a rightmost bin, whether data points in that bin indicate poor performance of the software based on the difference between the allocated resources and the used resources. The threshold value indicates a safety margin for operating the one software applications without performing poorly. Resources for the one or more software applications are then re-allocated according to the safety margin.
