  • System-wide topology and performance monitoring GUI tool with per-partition views
    Patent number: 10895947
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for a graphical user interface tool for system-wide topology and performance monitoring with per-partition views. A graphical user interface application presents a consolidated view of physical and logical information based on the received performance data. The mechanisms provide real-time performance and utilization information in a visual format relative to the physical components in a topographical layout. The user may drill down to lower levels to view more detailed performance and utilization information.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 3, 2018
    Date of Patent: January 19, 2021
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: William A Bostic, Randall R. Heisch, Venkat R. Indukuru, Allan E. Johnson, Jesse L. Sathre, Philip L. Vitale

  • Automatic configuration sampling for managing configuration parameters of a computer system
    Patent number: 8793482
    Abstract: A computer configuration utility automatically alters system configuration parameters to sample multiple different configurations. At least one workrate metric is measured at each sampled configuration. The workrate measurements for the multiple different configurations are compared to determine the effect of different configurations with respect to at least one optimization criterion. System configuration is automatically adjusted to the optimum configuration. Preferably, the workrate metric is (non-idle) instructions executed per unit of time.
