EMC+: An Opportunistic Elasticity Method for Improving System Throughput and CPU Utilization in Cloud Data Centers

The new EMC+ proposal is an OS‐driven elasticity manager for container‐based environments that continuously estimates idle core cycles left by regular (inelastic) applications, and reallocates idle cores to elastic ones, even during short time intervals, and has minimal impact on the performance and QoS of colocated inelastic applications.
