Abstract: A computer collects first test metrics on a transaction hosted within a middleware container, and is executing within a first environment. The computer generates baseline values of expected execution behavior of the transaction based on the first test metrics. The computer collects second test metrics on the transaction hosted within the middleware container, and is executing within a second environment. The computer compares the second test metrics to the baseline values. The computer determines whether the second test metrics satisfy the baseline values. In response to the second test metrics not satisfying the baseline values, the computer identifies the transaction as a candidate for cancellation.

Abstract: A variable-frequency input clock signal and a reference clock signal are compared during a frequency-compare interval to generate a value that indicates a ratio of their frequencies. The frequency-ratio value is then applied to configure a wide-range frequency-locking oscillator for operation with a narrowed input frequency range. Because the narrowed input frequency range is targeted to the input clock frequency, the wide-range oscillator is able to rapidly lock to a frequency multiple of the input clock frequency. Because the frequency-compare interval is also brief, an extremely fast-locking, clock-multiplying operation may be effected over a relatively wide range of input clock frequencies.
