Limiting simultaneous data transfers and efficient throttle management

摘要

A network storage server implements a method to limit simultaneous data transfers and efficient throttle management. The number of processes that can be simultaneously performed in the network storage server is limited. For the processes that do not exceed the limiting number, and are therefore allowed to be simultaneously performed, a throttle control is implemented on each of the processes to limit the amount of system resources that can be allocated to each of the processes. The processes are performed on the network storage server, and a total amount of system resources allocated to these processes does not exceed the available system resources of the network storage server.

1. A method comprising:
setting a limit, in a computer system that includes a processor and a memory, for a number of processes that can be simultaneously executed in the computer system; and simultaneously executing a plurality of processes in the computer system so that each of the processes is subject to a throttle control, wherein the number of the plurality of processes that are simultaneously executing does not exceed the limit, wherein the throttle control limits an amount of system resources that can be allocated to each of the plurality of processes, such that a total amount of system resources allocated to the plurality of processes does not exceed available system resources in the computer system.
