Abstract: A computer-implemented method for detecting anomalies in computing systems includes measuring activity metrics associated with accessing resources of the system by several users. Further, condensed diagnostic data is generated by grouping the users into buckets based on bucket and user attributes, and aggregating the activity metrics across all users in each bucket. Bucket contents are recorded during system's use, during which, analytic embedded data is generated for anomaly detection. The generating includes, for each bucket, capturing the activity metrics for an exceptional user in each bucket without aggregation at a next time interval.

Abstract: A processor receives an interrupt signal. The interrupt signal is received with an interrupt target ID identifying a target processor for handling the interrupt signal. The processor is a target of the interrupt signal directly. A check is made as to whether the processor is the target processor identified by the interrupt target ID. The checking includes performing a comparison of the interrupt target ID with a current interrupt target ID assigned to the processor. Based on the checking being successful, the interrupt signal is accepted for handling by the processor.

Abstract: An interrupt signal is provided to a first guest operating system. A bus attachment device receives an interrupt signal from a bus connected module with an interrupt target ID identifying a processor assigned for use by the guest operating system as a target processor for handling the interrupt signal. The bus attachment device checks whether the target processor is scheduled for usage by the guest operating system. If the target processor is not scheduled for usage, the bus attachment device forwards the interrupt signal using broadcasting and updates a forwarding vector entry stored in a memory section assigned to a second guest operating system hosting the first guest operating system. The update is used for indicating to the first operating system that there is a first interrupt signal addressed to the interrupt target ID to be handled.

The bus attachment device receives an interrupt signal from the bus connected module with an interrupt target ID identifying one of the processors assigned for use by the guest operating system as a target processor for handling the interrupt signal.
