摘要： Improved management feedback-based controller techniques are disclosed for use in accordance with a computing system. For example, a method for managing a computing system includes the following steps. At least one measured performance metric is obtained from the computing system being managed. At least one control input value is generated based on parameters including a control error and a control deadzone such that uncertainty associated with the computing system is accounted for in accordance with the parameters. The control error is determined from a computation comprising the at least one measured performance metric and at least one performance metric goal. The control deadzone is defined such that the control input value is not generated when the control error is within the control deadzone. The control input value is sent to the computing system to effectuate achievement of the at least one performance metric goal associated with the computing system.

摘要： In one embodiment, functional system elements are added to an autonomic manager to enable automatic online sample interval selection. In another embodiment, a method for determining the sample interval by continually characterizing the system workload behavior includes monitoring the system data and analyzing the degree to which the workload is stationary. This makes the online optimization method less sensitive to system noise and capable of being adapted to handle different workloads. The effectiveness of the autonomic optimizer is thereby improved, making it easier to manage a wide range of systems.

摘要： An improved method and system for performing dynamic online multi-parameter optimization for autonomic computing systems are provided. With the method and system of the present invention, a simplex, i.e. a set of points in the parameter space that has been directly sampled, is maintained. The system's performance with regard to a particular utility value is measured for the particular setting of configuration parameters associated with each point in the simplex. A new sample point is determined using the geometric transformations of the simplex. The method and system provide mechanisms for limiting the size of the simplex that is generated through these geometric transformations so that the present invention may be implemented in noisy environments in which the same configuration settings may lead to different results with regard to the utility value. In addition, mechanisms are provided for resampling a current best point in the simplex to determine if the environment has changed. If a sufficiently different utility value is obtained from a previously sampled utility value for the point in the simplex, then rather than contracting, the simplex is expanded. If the difference between utility values is not sufficient enough, then contraction of the simplex is performed. In addition, in order to allow for both real and integer valued parameters in the simplex, a mechanism is provided by which invalid valued parameters that are generated by geometric transformations being performed on the simplex are mapped to a nearest valid value. Similarly, parameter values that violate constraints are mapped to values that satisfy constraints taking care that the dimensionality of the simplex is not reduced.

摘要翻译： 提供了一种用于自动计算系统执行动态在线多参数优化的改进方法和系统。 利用本发明的方法和系统，维持单纯形，即直接采样的参数空间中的一组点。 关于特定效用值的系统的性能是针对与单工中的每个点相关联的配置参数的特定设置进行测量的。 使用单纯形的几何变换确定新的采样点。 该方法和系统提供了用于限制通过这些几何变换产生的单工的尺寸的机制，使得本发明可以在噪声环境中实现，其中相同的配置设置可能导致关于效用值的不同结果。 此外，还提供了用于对单纯形中当前最佳点进行重新采样以确定环境是否已更改的机制。 如果从单纯形中的点的先前采样的效用值获得足够不同的效用值，则不是收缩，所以单纯形被扩展。 如果效用值之间的差异不足够，则单纯形的收缩被执行。 此外，为了允许单纯形中的实数和整数值参数，提供了一种机制，通过这种机制，通过在单纯形上执行的几何变换生成的无效值参数被映射到最接近的有效值。 类似地，违反约束的参数值被映射到满足约束的值，注意单纯形的维度不会减小。

摘要： An exemplary method for reducing complexity of at least one user task includes steps of calculating a complexity metric for the at least one user task; identifying one or more usability issues having a measurable impact on the complexity metric for the at least one user task; determining one or more recommendations for addressing at least one of the one or more usability issues; and displaying a representation of at least one of the one or more usability issues and of at least one of the one or more recommendations. In an illustrative embodiment, implementing any one of the one or more recommendations reduces the impact of the usability issue on the complexity metric of the at least one user task and thereby reduces a complexity of the at least one user task.

摘要： Techniques for managing feedback control systems are provided. By way of example, a method of controlling performance of a managed system by a controller includes the following steps/operations. The controller issues a control value to the managed system to affect a performance of the managed system. The controller maintains a measurement time period having a variable start time within which the performance of the managed system is measured, such that the control value is given time to take effect on the managed system and a performance metric fed back to the controller from the managed system reflects the effect of the control value on the managed system.
