  • Detection of resource contention on computerized systems using co-located computer processes such as virtual machines
    Patent number: 9971634
    Abstract: The present invention is notably directed to systems and methods for detecting resource contention on a computerized system collocation of computer processes. Most basically, such methods comprise: monitoring data produced by each computer process of a set of computer processes co-located on the computerized system; detecting in the monitored data a change in a behavior of data produced by a given computer process of the set of computer processes; and throttling other computer processes of the set than said given computer process to detect potential resource contention at said given computer process. Such systems and methods advantageously apply to co-located virtual machines.
