摘要:
A method and information processing system manage workflow instance migration. A received migration plan indicates a set of workflow migration points associated with an initial workflow process model. The set of workflow migration points is associated with a set of workflow activities of the initial workflow process model. At least one workflow instance is selected from a set of workflow instances. A current migrateability state associated with the selected workflow instance is determined based at least on the set of workflow migration points. Migration of the workflow instance to a new workflow process model is granted in response to determining that the current migrateability state is set to migrateable. Migration of the workflow instance to the new workflow process model is prevented for at least a given amount of time in response to determining that the current migrateability state fails to be set to migrateable.

Affinity-based preferential call technique, in one aspect, may improve performance of distributed applications in a hybrid system having heterogeneous platforms. A segment of code in a program being executed on a processor may be intercepted or trapped in runtime. A platform is selected in the hybrid system for executing said segment of code, the platform determined to run the segment of code with best efficiency among a plurality of platforms in the hybrid system. The segment of code is dynamically executed on the selected platform determined to run the segment of code with best efficiency.

摘要:
A system and method for specifying a temporal window of a fixed size that slides along time; specifying energy consumption as the accumulated power consumption in a temporal window; and applying a threshold that limits the energy consumption in a sliding window, while the power consumption can fluctuate within the window. Power-aware systems apply energy limit as a constraint in performance optimization.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for business process error handling through process instance backup and recovery includes the step of creating a backup profile of selected one or more portions of a business process model at modeling stage. The method also includes the steps of deploying the backup profile into a runtime environment, and upon occurrence of an error in execution instances of the business process model, re-executing at least one of the one or more portions of the backup profile to recover from the error.

Resources of a partitionable computer system are partitioned into at least first and second partitions, in accordance with a first or second mode of operation of the partitionable computer system. The system is run in the first or second mode, partitioned in accordance with the partitioning step. Periodically, it is determined whether the computer system should be switched from one mode to the other mode. If so, the computer system is run in the other mode, partitioned in accordance with the other mode. The first and second modes of operation are defined in accordance with historical observations of the partitionable computer system. The periodic determination is carried out based on predictions in accordance with the historical observations.
摘要:
A method and information processing system manage workflow instance migration. An initial workflow process model is compared with a new workflow process model. A set of differences between the initial workflow process model and the new workflow process model are determined. At least one set of activities associated with the initial workflow process model that is migrateable to the new workflow process model is identified based on the set of differences. A migration plan associated with the initial workflow process model and the new workflow process model is generated. The migration plan includes the at least one set of activities associated with the initial workflow process model. The migration plan is then used to evaluate a set of workflow instances associated with the initial workflow process model and migrate one or more of these workflow instances to the new workflow process model based thereon.

The present invention is directed to provisioning and managing computing services in a computing utility system. It receives as an input an infrastructure independent description of a set of requirements on the new desired state of a computing service. It uses a knowledge plane to represent the infrastructure. The method generates a Concrete Model that describes a resource structure that refines the input and is implementable over the infrastructure. It then generates and possibly executes provisioning actions to create an identical resource structure on the infrastructure. The method can be used to create new computing services, to destroy existing computing services, to modify the resource combinations allocated to a computing service, or the configuration of these resources. Provisioning actions can be executed immediately, or saved and executed later, and possibly many times. Provisioning actions may be regenerated using the method whenever infrastructure characteristics, or the service requirements change.

A method, information processing system, and computer program product are provided for managing operating system interference on applications in a parallel processing system. A mapping of hardware multi-threading threads to at least one processing core is determined, and first and second sets of logical processors of the at least one processing core are determined. The first set includes at least one of the logical processors of the at least one processing core, and the second set includes at least one of a remainder of the logical processors of the at least one processing core. A processor schedules application tasks only on the logical processors of the first set of logical processors of the at least one processing core. Operating system interference events are scheduled only on the logical processors of the second set of logical processors of the at least one processing core.
