Abstract: The present invention discloses a method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for monitoring performance of a parallel database in a computer. In accordance with the present invention, the parallel database is stored on a data storage device in the computer. Groups of database nodes are identified. Collection time periods for collecting performance statistics from the identified group of database nodes are determined. Performance statistics are periodically collected from a subset of each identified group of nodes during the collection time periods. The collected performance statistics are stored in a memory connected to the computer and re-used when collecting performance statistics from one or more groups of database nodes in a succeeding collection time period.

Abstract: A tracking system that uses a revision control system and configuration status gathering to historically track and store configuration changes in computers and interconnect devices to aid in managing and troubleshooting networks of computer systems. Configuration data is gathered from devices on the network selected for monitoring on a periodic basis. The data collected each collection cycle is stored in a data storehouse on a computer within the network, called the remote support node. The data storehouse is comprised of a revision control system and data base. The data is accessed by computers on the network having web browsers. The user selects a first and second collection time, and any changes in configuration of any monitored devices in the network occurring between these two collection times is displayed in the browser window. By changing the collection times, configuration changes from different collection cycles may be viewed.

Abstract: A system and method for extracting and forecasting computing resource data such as workload consumption of mainframe computing resources using an autoregressive model. The system and method forecast mainframe central processing unit (CPU) consumption with ninety-five percent accuracy using historical performance data. The system and method also provide an upper ninety-five percent confidence level and a lower ninety-five percent confidence level. The system and method retrieve performance records from a computer platform in one second intervals, statistically collapses the one second performance data into fifteen minute performance data, statistically collapses the fifteen minute performance data into one week performance data, and generates a time series equivalent to collecting performance data at one week intervals. The system and method ensure that the resulting time series is statistically stationary, and applies an autoregressive construct to the time series to generate forecast of future CPU utilization, as well as to generate reports and graphs comparing actual vs. forecast CPU utilization. Because the system and method rely on electronically generated empirical historical computer performance data as an input, they provide a turnkey solution to CPU consumption forecasting that can be implemented easily by any system network manager.

Abstract: A dependency action system uses redundant sets of dynamically reconfigurable functional components to achieve robustness and fault tolerance, and to achieve self-optimization by learning and planning techniques that use time-stamps and or computation stamps as a key indicator. The dependency action system is based on functional components, or actions, which act on data values that are stored in stamped storage locations. Data is read and written to these storage locations, updating the stamps as appropriate. The execution of an action is controlled by the stamps of its enabling and disabling storage locations. The dependency action system specifies an action as enabled if new data has arrived in the enabling storage locations. Updating the stamp of the disabling storage locations disables the action. If an alternative action succeeds and produces a value, the other alternative actions become disabled. If one action fails to produce a value to a storage location, other alternative actions may still be enabled and can be executed. Thus, the dependency action system supports automatic recovery from failure of an individual action. The dependency action system accumulates statistical information about the behavior of the actions, which includes the probability that a particular disabling storage location will be updated by an action and the average cost of an action. The dependency action system uses this information to plan a sequence of action executions that most likely leads to the cheapest solution of a given task.

Abstract: A method is provided for preserving the integrity of a memory in an electronic printer in the event that a printed wiring board with non-volatile memory is replaced. The memory includes plural disks providing permanent data storage and the non-volatile memory communicating with the disks. In the method, a processor identifier is provided with the printed wiring board. A time stamp indicating the date of installation of the printed wiring board is generated, and the processor identifier of the printed wiring board is combined with the time stamp to provide an identifier seal. Copies of the identifier seal are stored to each of the disks. The processor identifier of the printed wiring board is compared with the processor identifiers of the respective identifier seals of the disks in response to booting the processor. When the processor identifier on the printed wiring board is substantially different from one of the processor identifiers of the disks, the printed wiring board is replaced and the transfer of data between the non-volatile memory and the disks is inhibited until the processor identifier of the replaced wiring board and the processor identifiers of the disks correspond substantially.

Abstract: During the operation of a data processing system capable of multi-tasking, a count is made of the number of times each I/O device is accessed by each task. The counting is done over the time interval between successive allocation routines. During each allocation, an analysis is made using the count and time interval to estimate the utilization of each device due to the current tasks. An estimate is also made of the anticipated utilization due to the task undergoing allocation. The estimated current and anticipated utilization are then considered and an attempt is made to allocate data sets to the least utilized I/O devices so as to achieve balanced I/O activity.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-storage mediums for optimizing snapshot image processing are described. The system receives a first read request to read data from optimized snapshot information including snapshot information and cached snapshot information. The first read request includes a first offset identifying a first storage location and a first length. The snapshot information includes a full snapshot and at least one incremental snapshot. The system identifies a first portion of the data is stored in the snapshot information responsive to identifying the first portion of the data is not stored in the cache snapshot information. The system identifies a second portion of data is stored in the optimized snapshot information, reads the first portion of data and the second portion of data from the optimized snapshot information, and communicates the data, including the first and second portions of the data, to the job.
