A delay accounting method for computer system response time improvement

摘要

A method for determining the system resource parameters [220] to change for specified users [215] or groups of users [215] in order to improve system performance as defined by response times [115]. Methods are disclosed identifying system resources [205] whose parameters [220] are in need of adjustment in order to improve response time [115] for service by those resources [220]. In a representative embodiment, measured results of response time [115] for service provided by various system resources [205] is aggregated for a selected user [215] or group of users [215]. Averages of such aggregations indicate which resources [220] consume excessive amounts of time for processes [210] used by the user [215] or group of users [215]. Beneficial changes in values of system resources [205] related parameters [220] are then implemented.
