  • Determining an imbalance among computer-component usage
    Patent number: 8122117
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to determining an imbalance among computer-component usage. Based on a performance value (e.g. utilization value, response time, queuing delay, Input/Output operations, bytes transferred, work threads used, connections made, etc) that describes a respective computer component among a set of computer components, and an average performance value of the set, a component value of each computer component in the set can be determined. Each component value quantifies a contribution of the usage of a respective computer component toward an imbalanced assignment of computer operations. Component values are information rich and comparisons of component values suggest levels of over-utilization and under-utilization of the computer components.
