1. A method performed by a resource management computer node comprising:

  • obtaining hardware utilization values measured for a hardware resource of a computer system being used by a software application;

    for a set of the hardware utilization values that were measured during a same time-of-day range on a same day of week,determining a count value indicating a number of times the hardware utilization values in the set exceed a count threshold value,determining a count percentage value based on a ratio of the count value to a sum of count values determined for the same day of week,comparing the count percentage value to a busy threshold value, andresponsive to if the count percentage value is determined to exceed the busy threshold value,setting a busy indicator object at a location in a resource utilization data structure having a defined correspondence to the time-of-day range;

    controlling reservation of hardware resources for operational use by the software application during at least the time-of-day range responsive to whether the busy indicator object has been set at the location in the resource utilization data structure; and

    subsequent to the controlling reservation of hardware resources, running the software application on the reserved hardware resources during at least the time-of-day range.
