👉 Allocated computing refers to the predefined amount of computational resources, such as CPU time, memory, storage, or network bandwidth, that a user or service is granted for executing specific tasks or running applications. This allocation ensures that resources are managed efficiently and fairly among multiple users or processes, preventing any single entity from monopolizing the system's capacity. It typically includes parameters like CPU cores, memory limits, disk I/O throughput, and network bandwidth, which are configured by the service provider or administrator to meet the needs of the allocated tasks while maintaining optimal system performance and stability. This setup allows users to focus on their computations without worrying about resource contention or system overload, and it also enables the provider to monitor and manage resource usage effectively.
