摘要:
a virtual storage module operable to run in a virtual machine monitor may include a wait-queue operable to store incoming block-level data requests from one or more virtual machines. In-memory metadata may store information associated with data stored in local persistent storage that is local to a host computer hosting the virtual machines. The data stored in local persistent storage replicates a subset of data in one or more virtual disks provided to the virtual machines. The virtual disks are mapped to remote storage accessible via a network connecting the virtual machines and the remote storage. A cache handling logic may be operable to handle the block-level data requests by obtaining the information in the in-memory metadata and making I/O re-quests to the local persistent storage or the remote storage or combination of the local persistent storage and the remote storage to service the block-level data requests.
摘要:
A method for evaluating the performance of an application when migrated from a first environment in which the application is currently executing to a second, different environment includes generating a virtual application that mimics the resource consuming behavior of the application, executing the virtual application in the second environment, and evaluating the performance of the virtual application in the second environment.
摘要:
Throughput of a high-volume throughput-centric computer system is controlled by dynamically adjusting a concurrency level of a plurality of events being processed in a computer system to meet a predetermined target for utilization of one or more resources of a computer system. The predetermined target is less than 100% utilization of said one or more resources. The adjusted concurrency level is validated using one or more queuing models to check that said predetermined target is being met. Parameters are configured for adjusting the concurrency level. The parameters are configured so that said one or more resources are shared with one or more external programs. A statistical algorithm is established that minimizes total number of samples collected. The samples may be used to measure performance used to further dynamically adjust the concurrency level. A dynamic thread sleeping method is designed to handle systems that need only a very small number of threads to saturate bottleneck resources and hence are sensitive to concurrency level changes.

Checking health of information technology infrastructure based on log data, in one aspect, may collect log data non-intrusively from a production system, said log data at least associated with transactions occurring in the production system and resource utilization of the production system, may normalize said log data into a plurality of log data types, may perform data regression analysis using said plurality of log data types to estimate resources consumed by each of said transactions and throughput of each of said transactions, and may use a queuing model to predict performance of the information technology infrastructure under various workloads.

摘要:
On demand image streaming (ODS), in one aspect, may perform both copy-on-write and copy-on-read to gradually bring data on remote storage server to a host's local disk. Prefetching may be performed during the time the resources are otherwise idle to bring in data from the remote storage server to the host's local disk. A new image format and the corresponding block device driver for a hypervisor or the like may be also provided. ODS' image format may include a header and a bitmap that indicates whether the data sectors are on local disk or remote storage server, and an image content, for instance, stored in raw format.
摘要:
A method to organize nodes into an overlay network and to disseminate multicast messages within this overlay both through an efficient tree embedded in the overlay and through gossips exchanged between overlay neighbors. Regardless of the size of the system, this invention incurs a constant low overhead on each node.
