    摘要: A method, system and program storage device for measurement acquisition using predictive models which: (a) can improve scalability; (b) can accommodate devices that operate in a disconnected mode; and (c) enable integration of data from sources with different time granularities. Various features can be embodied in software and an object-oriented implementation is described. Different implementations are described, such as standalone predictive models implemented only on a manager (for example systems management/load balancing) or managed system (for example router management); or a parallel implementation with predictive models running on both the manager and managed (agent) systems (for example financial trading or system health monitoring). In a parallel model implementation, the agent constructs a predictive model that is conveyed to the manager system. The models are used in parallel, possibly with no communication for an extended time. The manager uses its model to provide tentative values of measurement variables to management applications. The agent uses its model to check its accuracy. If the model is found to be insufficiently accurate, an updated model is transmitted to the manager. The invention allows other measurement acquisition protocols to operate concurrently on the same measurement variables.

    摘要: A process in a computer system creates and uses a meta-scheduler with meta-contexts that execute on meta-virtual processors. The meta-scheduler includes a set of schedulers with scheduler-contexts that execute on virtual processors. The meta-scheduler schedules the scheduler-contexts on the meta-contexts and schedules the meta-contexts on the meta-virtual processors which execute on execution contexts associated with hardware threads.

    摘要: Computer systems attempt to manage resource pools of a dynamic number of similar resources and work tasks in order to optimize system performance. Work requests are received into the resource pool having a dynamic number of resources instances. An instance-throughput curve is determined that relates a number of resource instances in the resource pool to throughput of the work requests. A slope of a point on the instance-throughput curve is estimated with stochastic gradient approximation. The number of resource instances for the resource pool is selected when the estimated slope of the instance-throughput curve is zero.

    摘要: Electronic contracts or “eContracts” for representing service level agreements are provided. In one illustrative embodiment, the eContract may comprise information pertaining to: (a) descriptions of business transactions in IT terms; (b) financial implications of business transaction service levels; and (c) reporting to be done in business terms. Of course, the eContract may comprise other terms and conditions. In an illustrative aspect of the invention, a system for managing IT resources in terms of business financials comprises an electronic contract authoring system or “ecAuthoring system,” an electronic contract manager module or “ecManager,” and one or more electronic contract agent modules or “ecAgents” that may run on IT elements (e.g., components of the network) that are being managed. Analysts interact with the ecAuthoring system to construct eContracts. An eContract is input to an ecManager that interprets the contract to report on and optimize IT resources based on business financials. The ecManager collaborates with ecAgents to monitor, report, and enforce contracts expressed in such business terms.

    摘要: The invention enables server administrators (SAs) to improve their productivity and performance. With the methods and systems described herein, the prior art needed to search for appropriate tools for appropriate tasks is minimized and/or eliminated. Easier scripting and automation that does not require implementation across tools is provided. A consistent logical place is provided for all resources to be used. Standardization of tools enables improvements in service quality. Tools may be provided using one unambiguous authoritative data model, which eliminates data inconsistencies between sources. With the invention, updates to service delivery clients may be delivered more quickly. The invention also reduces costs for developing, deploying, and maintaining a tightly integrated service delivery client. Integration may be provided from the bottom up rather than after the fact. With the invention, common base objects are provided for events, problem and change records, and other system administration artifacts
