1. A method to allocate virtual machines to physical machines, the method comprising:

  • sorting a plurality of virtual machines (VMs) according to a size attribute associated with a dominant resource requirement;

    sorting a plurality of physical machines (PMs) according to a power efficiency attribute associated with each of the plurality of PMs;

    selecting one of the sorted plurality of PMs based on the power efficiency attribute;

    selecting one of the sorted plurality of VMs based on the size attribute;

    allocating the selected VM to the selected PM; and

    in response to a determination that a residual capacity attribute of the selected PM is less than a particular threshold, discontinuing allocation of the selected VM to the selected PM.
