  • Performance metrics of a computer system
    Patent number: 9524223
    Abstract: Identifying an inter-relationship between performance metrics of a computer system. It is proposed to convert performance metric signals, which represent variations of performance metrics over time, into quantized signals having a set of allowable discrete values. The quantized signals are compared to detect a correlation based on the timing of variations quantized signals. An inter-relationship between the performance metrics may then be identified based on a detected correlation between the quantized signals.
