Method For Determining Load Balancing Weights Using Application Instance Topology Information

View page
US Patent:
7493380, Feb 17, 2009
Filed:
Dec 2, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/725635
Inventors:
Jeffrey David Aman - Poughkeepsie NY, US
John E. Arwe - Poughkeepsie NY, US
Michael Edward Baskey - Wappingers Falls NY, US
David Vincent Bostjancic - Poughkeepsie NY, US
Donna N. Dillenberger - Yorktown Heights NY, US
Peter Bergersen Yocom - LaGrangeville NY, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709223, 709219
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for distributing traffic across a group of machines using application instance statistics. In order to perform load balancing in accordance with the present invention, a method of generating weights to bias load balancing distributions is provided. The application instances to which traffic is being distributed, or the application middleware, are instrumented to establish certain metrics about the application while running. The application instance instrumentation will provide application statistics such as number of successful transactions, application response times, application topology, importance of transactions being processed, time the application is blocked waiting for resources, resource consumption data, and the like. These metrics are collected, processed, and then presented as a set of weights to the load balancing apparatus to govern its distribution of traffic. With such application metrics available, traffic can be disbursed based on the current state of the application instances and other application instances in the transaction's path, the application instance's likelihood to complete the request, or even higher level business-oriented goals.

US Patent:
20040220947, Nov 4, 2004
Filed:
May 2, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/428893
Inventors:
Jeffrey Aman - Poughkeepsie NY, US
David Bostjancic - Poughkeepsie NY, US
Donna Eng Dillenberger - Yorktown Heights NY, US
Gregory Dritschler - Poughkeepsie NY, US
Mark Hulber - New York NY, US
Mark Johnson - Austin TX, US
Hiren Shah - Highland NY, US
Alan Webb - Ridgefield CT, US
Peter Yocom - LaGrangeville NY, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F007/00
US Classification:
707/100000
Abstract:
Workload reporting is provided in a distributed transaction processing environment having call trees in which a child application performs a child transaction on behalf of a parent application performing a parent transaction. When a parent application starts a transaction, it makes a call to a reporting agent, passing to it any parent correlator the parent application may have received from a calling application. The reporting agent returns to the parent application a child correlator, which the parent application passes to any child application it calls to perform child transactions. The child correlator contains end-to-end information classifying the parent transaction as well as a hop count indicating the depth of the child application in the call tree. The reporting agent uses the hop count to construct a topology in which commonly classified applications are grouped according to their depth in the call tree for better visualization of performance of individual applications.

US Patent:
20090172670, Jul 2, 2009
Filed:
Dec 28, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/965894
Inventors:
Mythili K. Bobak - Lagrangeville NY, US
David V. Bostjancic - Poughkeepsie NY, US
Tim A. McConnell - Lexington KY, US
Michael D. Swanson - Springfield OR, US
Assignee:
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 9/46
US Classification:
718100
Abstract:
Workflows to be used in managing a computing environment are dynamically and programmatically created and/or activities are invoked, based on the current state of the environment. In creating a workflow, activities are conditionally included in the workflow based on the state of the environment. Different types of workflows may be created.

Method And Apparatus For Controlling The Number Of Servers In A Client/Server System

US Patent:
59744626, Oct 26, 1999
Filed:
Mar 28, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/828440
Inventors:
Jeffrey D. Aman - Poughkeepsie NY
John E. Arwe - Poughkeepsie NY
David A. Booz - Kingston NY
David V. Bostjancic - Poughkeepsie NY
Gregory M. Dritschler - Poughkeepsie NY
Catherine K. Eilert - Wappingers Falls NY
Peter B. Yocom - Wappingers Falls NY
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 1333
G06F 1517
US Classification:
709225
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling the number of servers in an information handling system in which incoming work requests belonging to a first service class are placed in a queue for processing by one or more servers. The system also has units of work assigned to a second service class that acts as a donor of system resources. In accordance with the invention, a performance measure is defined for the first service class as well as for the second service class. Before adding servers to the first service class, there is determined not only the positive effect on the performance measure for the first service class, but also the negative effect on the performance measure for the second service class. Servers are added to the first service class only if the positive effect on the performance measure for the first service class outweighs the negative effect on the performance measure for the second service class.
