  • Self-evolving distributed system performance using a system health index
    Patent number: 7698239
    Abstract: In a distributed computing system, an artificial intelligence system may be employed to configure the network variables. A metric describing the overall system performance may be derived during network operation or simulation and compared to an ideal metric describing the same distributed system performance. The difference between the derived metric and the ideal metric may then be used with an artificial intelligence system to modify the network variables to evolve the system toward the ideal performance standard.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 28, 2006
    Date of Patent: April 13, 2010
    Assignee: Microsoft Corporation
    Inventors: Brian R. Lieuallen, Geogy A. Samuel, Noah Norton, Sandeep Kishan Singhal, Todd R. Manion
  • System and method for monitoring and reacting to peer-to-peer network metrics
    Patent number: 7656810
    Abstract: The overall health of a peer-to-peer network may be inferred from statistics gathered and analyzed pertaining to individual node and node-to-node performance within the peer-to-peer network. When used with simulations for development or testing, the health statistic may be used instead of or to supplement standard regression testing to determine whether or not changes made improve system performance. When used with live peer-to-peer networks, the health statistic may provide a real-time view into network performance. Such a view may be used to adjust peer-to-peer network topology or to isolate underperforming or malicious nodes.
