Abstract: A method for managing system resources in a network environment. The method begins by reading from a first log both timestamp Ti and actual response Ri for i=1, 2, . . . , I. Each Ti comprising a timestamp corresponding to a request to utilize system resources. Each Ri comprising a length of time necessary for the system to respond to the request. After reading timestamps and response times, for each combination of both Ti and Ri where Ri does not equal zero: calculating active thread AT(Ti+j) for j=0, 1, . . . , Ri?1, according to a function AT(Ti+j)=AT(Ti+j)+1. Active thread AT(Ti+j) comprising the total number of threads active in the system at time Ti+j. Finally, storing active thread AT(Ti+j) for in a second log. The second log comprising both timestamp Ti+j and active thread AT(Ti+j).

Abstract: A method for managing system resources in a network environment. The method begins by reading from a first log timestamp Ti for i=1, 2, . . . , I, where each Ti comprises a timestamp corresponding to a unique request to utilize system resources. After reading timestamps, calculating estimated response Ei for i=1, 2, . . . , I, according to a function. After calculating estimated responses, the method continues by calculating actual response Ri for i=1, 2, . . . , I, according to a function Ri=Ei?Ti. After calculating all actual responses; storing each actual response in a second log. The second log comprising both timestamp Ti and actual response Ri for i=1, 2, . . . , I.
