  • Resource health based scheduling of workload tasks
    Patent number: 9329901
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for allocating threads includes: receiving a registration of a workload, the registration including a workload classification and a workload priority; monitoring statuses of a plurality of resources; identifying, by a computing device, a thread of a resource from the plurality of resources, the thread being programmed to execute a task associated with the workload; evaluating, by the computing device, the workload classification and the workload priority of the workload with workload classifications and workload priorities of other workloads requesting the thread; and allocating the thread to one of the workloads based on evaluation of the workload classification and the workload priority.

  • Throttling usage of resources
    Patent number: 8977677
    Abstract: A computing device provides a first server. The first server receives a primary request associated with a client. In response to receiving the primary request, the first server processes the primary request to generate a response message. As part of processing the primary request, the first server sends a secondary request to a second server after a delay period expires. The second server accesses a resource as part of processing of the secondary request. The duration of the delay period depends at least in part on a recent latency level of the client with regard to the resource. In this way, the first server throttles access to the resource.
