Complexity reduction in workload management is driving the development of goal-oriented workload managers (WLMs). Simultaneously, server consolidation of workloads with dynamically changing resource demands calls for these WLMs to be increasingly efficient in managing resources. We propose the Class-based Kernel Resource Management (CKRM) framework, implemented in Linux, for operating systems to these requirements.
