Performance Calculation, Admission Control, and Supervisory Control for a Load Dependent Data Processing System

摘要

An performance calculation apparatus, an admission rate controller, and a supervisory control and decision apparatus, and methods thereof are provided to improve the control of an admission rate of discrete service events to a data processing system. The performance calculation apparatus, the admission rate controller, and the supervisory control and decision apparatus rely on an improved mathematical modelling mechanism that determines a relation between response times of the discrete service events and their arrival rate and thus provide an improved control over the data processing system by externally monitoring the response times of the data processing system.
