OPTIMIZING THE NUMBER OF SHARED PROCESSES EXECUTING IN A COMPUTER SYSTEM

摘要

A system optimizes a number of shared server processes executing on a processor. The system creates, in a memory, a data array for storing a plurality of performance metric values, each associated with a number of shared server processes. The system selects a value for an optimized number of shared server processes according to a first procedure based on the performance metric, observes a performance metric associated with the selected optimized number, and stores, in the data array, the observed performance metric. The system repeats the selecting, observing and storing until at least a predetermined number of contiguous data values are stored in the data array. The system selects the value for the optimized number according to a second procedure based on a slope of the performance metric. The system observes the performance metric associated with the selected optimized number, and stores, in the data array, the observed performance metric.

1. A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to optimize a number of shared server processes executing thereon, the optimizing comprising:
creating, in a memory, a data array for storing a plurality of performance metric values, each performance metric value being associated with a number of shared server processes; selecting a value for an optimized number of shared server processes according to a first procedure based on the performance metric; observing a performance metric associated with the optimized number of shared server processes selected according to the first procedure; storing, in the data array, the performance metric associated with the optimized number of shared server processes selected according to the first procedure; repeating said selecting, observing and storing until at least a predetermined number of contiguous data values are stored in the data array; selecting the value for the optimized number of shared server processes according to a second procedure based on a slope of the performance metric; observing the performance metric associated with the optimized number of shared server processes selected according to the second procedure; and storing, in the data array, the performance metric associated with the optimized number of shared server processes selected according to the second procedure.
