    摘要: A scheduler is provided, which takes into account the location of the data to be accessed by a set of jobs. Once all the dependencies and the scheduling constraints of the plan are respected, the scheduler optimizes the order of the remaining jobs to be run, also considering the location of the data to be accessed. Several jobs needing an access to a dataset on a specific disk may be grouped together so that the grouped jobs are executed in succession, e.g., to prevent activating and deactivating the storage device several times, thus improving the power consumption and also avoiding input output performances degradation.

    摘要: A scheduler detects a change in one of an electricity consumption pattern and appliance cycle scheduling that affects electricity consumption in a future time slot of an appliance cycle schedule for a plurality of appliances. The appliance cycle schedule comprises a plurality of future time slots. Appliances scheduled for use during the future time slot are determined. A total electricity consumption for the future time slot is then computed. The total electricity consumption comprises a sum of predicted background electricity consumption during the future time slot and predicted appliance cycle electricity consumption during the future time slot. It is determined that the total electricity consumption exceeds a threshold electricity consumption associated with an electric meter associated with the plurality of appliances. A new appliance cycle schedule with each of the plurality of future time slots having total electricity consumption below the threshold electricity consumption is generated.

    摘要: A method for optimizing energy consumption in a data-processing system comprising a set of data-processing units is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes indicating a set of data-processing jobs to be executed on a data-processing system during a production period. An ambient temperature expected for each data-processing unit during the production period is estimated. The method calculates an execution scheme for the data-processing jobs on the data-processing system. The execution scheme optimizes the energy consumed by the data-processing system to execute the data-processing jobs based on the ambient temperature of the data-processing units. The method then executes the data-processing jobs on the data processing system according to the execution scheme. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also disclosed.

    摘要: A method of controlling a navigation system. Navigation systems which are capable of gathering historical information concerning routes taken by a number of individual vehicles are known. Such systems rely on a central database to analyse and store the historical information of all the participating vehicles. The central database can therefore suggest an improved route to a vehicle based on the analysis of the information gathered from the participating vehicles. However, as the central database analyses historical information received from a number of different types of vehicles (e.g. delivery trucks, taxis, motorbikes etc.), the routes suggested by the system are often inappropriate for a specific type of vehicle. For example, a route which is appropriate for a motorbike is often not appropriate for a truck, and vice versa. A method of controlling a navigation system is provided which builds up historical information of routes taken by a vehicle and uses this information to provide an appropriate route for the vehicle based upon deviations from suggested routes stored upon a mobile computer unit of the navigation system of the vehicle.

    摘要: A solution for scheduling execution of jobs in a data processing system is disclosed. One method for implementing such a solution may start by providing a scheduling structure for scheduling the execution of jobs. Such a scheduling structure may include a workflow plan defining a flow of execution for planned jobs and/or a workflow model defining static policies for execution of modeled jobs. A set of rules for updating the scheduling structure is provided. The method may continue by updating the scheduling structure according to the rules, such as by adding or removing jobs for rules evaluated to be true. The execution of the jobs may then be scheduled according to the updated scheduling structure. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

    摘要: A system and method for monitoring the availability of an application in a distributed data processing environment are provided. The performance aspects of application availability are defined in terms of easily observed and computed characteristics of the application as it behaves in a deployed environment with the deployed configuration. The system and method observe the application processes, the structural resources they require, and the consumable resources they require from the running system itself. These observations are then used to derive minimum requirements for the resource requirement aspects of availability as well as derive criteria for normal behavioral conditions. These minimum requirements and normal behavioral conditions are then used to establish monitoring rules or conditions for monitoring the operation of the application to determine if availability of the application is degrading such that a notification needs to be sent to an administrator.
