Abstract: Generic Concurrency Restriction (GCR) may divide a set of threads waiting to acquire a lock into two sets: an active set currently able to contend for the lock, and a passive set waiting for an opportunity to join the active set and contend for the lock. The number of threads in the active set may be limited to a predefined maximum or even a single thread. Generic Concurrency Restriction may be implemented as a wrapper around an existing lock implementation. Generic Concurrency Restriction may, in some embodiments, be unfair (e.g., to some threads) over the short term, but may improve the overall throughput of the underlying multithreaded application via passivation of a portion of the waiting threads.

Abstract: Techniques for adaptive metric collection, metric storage, and alert thresholds are described. In an approach, a metric collector computer processes metrics as a collection of key/value pairs. The key/value pairs represent the dimensionality of the metrics and allows for semantic queries on the metrics based on keys. In an approach, a storage controller computer maintains a storage system with multiple storage tiers ranked by speed of access. The storage computer stores policy data that specifies the rules by which metric records are stored across the multiple storage tiers. Periodically, the storage computer moves database records to higher or lower tiers based on the policy data. In an approach, a metric collector in response to receiving a new metric, generates a predicted metric value based on previously recorded metric values and measures the deviation from the new metric value to determine whether an alert is appropriate.

Abstract: A multi-layer tier requisition stack may generate prescriptive tier requisition tokens for controlling requisition of database-compute resources at database-compute tiers. The input layer of the tier requisition stack may obtain historical data and database-compute tolerance data. The coefficient layer may be used to determine activity coefficients for each data type within the historical data. The activity coefficients may then be combined to determine an overall activity factor. The tolerance layer may be used to select an initial database-compute tier based on the activity factor. The tolerance layer may then increase from the initial database compute tier to an adjusted database-compute tier while accommodating tolerances within the database-compute tolerance data. The requisition layer may generate a tier requisition token based on the adjusted database-compute tier and/or finalization directives obtained at the requisition layer.
