Abstract: A multi-layer compute sizing correction stack may generate prescriptive compute sizing correction tokens for controlling sizing adjustments for computing resources. The input layer of the compute sizing correction stack may generate cleansed utilization data based on historical utilization data received via network connection. The input layer may receive one or more resource configurations that may be applied to implement the sizing correction. A prescriptive engine layer may generate a compute sizing correction trajectory indicative of a sizing adjustment to a computing resource. The compute sizing correction trajectory may account of historic processor, network, and memory utilization. Based on the compute sizing correction trajectory and a selected resource configuration, the prescriptive engine layer may generate the compute sizing correction tokens that that may be used to control compute sizing adjustments prescriptively.

Work is added to a work queue in a shared memory buffer in accordance with a received request, and a task-priority register is updated to block interrupts not directed toward the secure virtual machine. A timer that expires after a number of cycles of the computer processor have elapsed is started. The secure virtual machine is launched on the computer processor, and a work queue in a shared memory buffer is polled for work to be executed by the secure virtual machine until the work queue is empty or until the timer expires.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide an approach that evaluates a locally running image (e.g., such as that for a virtual machine (VM)) and determines if that image could run more efficiently and/or more effectively in an alternate computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment). Specifically, embodiments of the present invention evaluate the local (existing/target) image's actual and perceived performance, as well as the anticipated/potential performance if the image were to be migrated to an alternate environment. The anticipated/potential performance can be measured based on another image that is similar to the existing/target image but where that image is running in a different computing environment. Regardless, the system would display a recommendation to the end user if it were determined that the image could perform better in the alternate environment (or vice versa).
