PLATFORM CONFIGURATION SELECTION BASED ON A DEGRADED MAKESPAN
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- obtaining, by a computing system, a job profile of a prospective job, a normal makespan goal, and a degraded makespan goal, the job profile including a job trace summary;
generating, by the computing system, a simulation result of the prospective job based on a first simulation of the job trace summary on a platform configuration and a second simulation of the job trace summary on a degraded version of the platform configuration, the simulation result including a predicted normal makespan and a predicated degraded makespan; and
communicating, by the computing system, a purchasing option that selects the platform configuration, the purchasing option selects the platform configuration based on the predicted normal makespan satisfying the normal makespan goal and the predicted degraded makespan satisfying the degraded makespan goal.

Abstract
A method, system, and computer-readable storage device for selecting a platform configuration in light of a degraded makespan is described herein. A job profile of a prospective job, a normal makespan goal, and a degraded makespan goal may be obtained. The job profile may include a job trace summary. A simulation result of the prospective job may be generated based on a first simulation of the job trace summary on a platform configuration and a second simulation of the job trace summary on a degraded version of the platform configuration. The simulation result may include a predicted normal makespan and a predicated degraded makespan. The platform configuration may then be selected. In some cases the platform configuration may be selected via a purchasing option sent to a tenant.
