Abstract: A system and method for providing cloud performance capability estimation and supporting recommender systems by simulating bottleneck and its migration for any given complex application in a cost-efficient way are provided. To do this, first, the system and method builds an abstract performance model for an application based on the resource usage pattern of the application in an in-house test-bed (i.e., a white-box environment). Second, it computes relative performance scores of many different cloud configurations given from black-boxed clouds using a cloud metering system. Third, it applies the collected performance scores into the abstract performance model to estimate performance capabilities and potential bottleneck situations of those cloud configurations. Finally, using the model, it can support recommender systems by providing performance estimates and simulations of bottlenecks and bottleneck migrations between resource sub-systems while new resources are added or replaced.

Abstract: A computer-based apparatus including: a cassette including a plurality of compartments for storing medications; and a dispenser including a processor and memory storing computer readable instructions and information for a plurality of medications, the information including dosages and schedules for the medications. The processor is configured to extract a medication from the plurality of medications from a compartment according to the information. The processor is configured to: receive, from a second computer remote from the apparatus, an input including a modification to the information; or create a modification to the information. The processor is configured to determine that a medication stored in the compartment is the same as the medication in the plurality of medications and extract, using the dispenser, a quantity of the stored medication from the compartment according to the modification; or terminate extraction, by the dispenser, of the stored medication from the compartment according to the modification.
