20130339551 | COMMUNICATION PATH SELECTION - A computer system includes a processor configured for detecting initial command response times of a plurality of paths for transmitting signals from the processor to one or more external devices via a plurality of channels, assigning weighted values to the plurality of paths based on the detected initial command response times, and modifying a frequency at which respective paths among the plurality of paths are selected for transmitting the signals based on the weighted values assigned to the respective paths. | 12-19-2013 |
20130339948 | REAL TIME MEASUREMENT OF VIRTUALIZATION I/O PROCESSING DELAYS - A computer system includes memory divided into a plurality of logical partitions (LPARs), each LPAR running one of a plurality of instances of an operating system (O/S). The system also includes a processor configured to run a hypervisor program to manage operation of the plurality of LPARs. The processor determines a reference I/O service time of an I/O operation on a server, measures an actual I/O service time of the operation, and determines a delay time of virtualization on the server based on the reference I/O service time and the actual I/O service time. | 12-19-2013 |
20130339951 | REAL TIME MEASUREMENT OF VIRTUALIZATION I/O PROCESSING DELAYS - A method includes determining a reference I/O service time of an I/O operation on a server and measuring, with a processor of the server running a hypervisor configured to manage a plurality of logical partitions (LPARs), each LPAR running one of a plurality of instances of an operating system (O/S), an actual I/O service time of the I/O operation. The method also includes determining, by the processor, a delay time of virtualization on the server based on the reference I/O service time and the actual I/O service time. | 12-19-2013 |
