A system for optimizing response time to events or representations thereof waiting in a queue has a first server having access to the queue; a software application running on the first server; and a second server accessible from the first server, the second server containing rules governing the optimization. In a preferred embodiment, the software application at least periodically accesses the queue and parses certain ones of events or tokens in the queue and compares the parsed results against rules accessed from the second server in order to determine a measure of disposal time for each parsed event wherein if the determined measure is sufficiently low for one or more of the parsed events, those one or more events are modified to a reflect a higher priority state than originally assigned enabling faster treatment of those events resulting in relief from those events to the queue system load.

Methods, articles of manufacture, and systems for determining a fee to be charged for requests processed in a grid computing environment based.

In a computer system with a DBMS running thereon, management of the performance of a storage apparatus is executed by using a performance indicator provided by a user job so as to simplify the management of the performance. For this reason, a management server employed in the computer system monitors an operating state of each system element, a response time onto a job and other information. Pre-given information on a process such as a performance requirement the collected monitored information are used by the management server in issuing a command to change allocation of a processing amount to a port, an allocation of a cache area for data, the logical configuration of disc drives and other parameters in order to carry out the new process or in the case where a result of a judgment based on the monitored information indicates that tuning is necessary. In the case of a process for a batch job, a method for estimating a processing time is given to the management server, which issues a setting modification command based on an estimated processing time. In the case of a process for an on-line job, on the other hand, a command to modify settings of a member bearing a heavy load is issued in the case where a response time on a process and / or a throughput do not meet their performance requirement.

An automated system obtains performance data of a computer system having partitioned servers. The performance data includes a performance rating and a current measured utilization of each server, actual workload (e.g. transaction arrival rate), and actual service levels (e.g. response time or transaction processing rate). From the data, automated system normalizes a utilization value for each server over time and generates a weighted average for each and expected service levels for various times and workloads. Automated system receives a service level objective (SLO) for each server and future time and automatically determines a policy based on the weighted average normalized utilization values, past performance information, and received SLOs. The policy can include rules for provisioning required servers to meet the SLOs, a throughput for each server, and a potential service level for each server. Based on the generated policy, the system automatically provisions operation of the servers across partitions.

Minimizing both the response time to produce the first few thousand results and the overall execution time is important for interactive querying. Current join algorithms either minimize the execution time at the expense of response time or minimize response time by producing results early without optimizing the total time. Disclosed herein is a hash-based join algorithm, called early hash join, which can be dynamically configured at any point during join processing to tradeoff faster production of results for overall execution time. Varying how inputs are read has a major effect on these two factors and provide formulas that allow an optimizer to calculate the expected rate of join output and the number of I / O operations performed using different input reading strategies.

When a plurality of image data sets such as thumbnail images are transferred, stress of a user waiting for the transfer can be reduced. When a client requests a URL for displaying thumbnail images from a server, the server starts up a CGI program and sends data K for measuring a response time to the client. The client replies at the time of receiving the data, and the server measures the response time as a transfer rate on a network. Based on a permitted transfer time set in advance and the response time, the number of the image data sets is determined and an html file for displaying images whose number has been determined is transferred to the client. The client then requests transfer of the image data sets that have been determined from the server, and the server transfers the image data sets to the client. In this manner, the client can display the thumbnail images.
