  • Patent number: 10614092
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for implementing operation optimization. Responsive to a request to load data via a input/output (I/O) load operation, prior to loading the data, transformed data in a local memory is searched for a match to the requested data. Responsive to identifying transformed that matches the requested data, the transformed data in the local memory is used to fulfill the request. Responsive to failing to identify transformed data in the local memory that matches the requested data, untransformed data in the local memory is searched for a match to the requested data. Responsive to identifying untransformed data that matches the requested data, the untransformed data in the local memory is used to fulfill the request. Responsive to failing to identify untransformed data in the local memory that matches the requested data, the requested data may be loaded from the storage system via the I/O load operation.

  • Patent number: 9921952
    Abstract: A computer executes a first version of a code module in a first test environment, collects a first set of execution measurements, and creates a first profile based on the first set of execution measurements. The computer executes the first version of the code module in a second test environment, collects a second set of execution measurements, and creates a second profile based on the second set of execution measurements. In response to a difference between the first profile and the second profile exceeding a threshold, the computer provides diagnostic data characterizing the difference, analyzes an impact of the difference on the execution of the code module, calculates a risk of code module failure value based on analyzing the impact of the difference, and provides a recommended action based on analyzing the impact of the difference and the calculated risk of code module failure value.
