20110040937 | HIERARCHICAL STORAGE MANAGEMENT FOR DATABASE SYSTEMS - Embodiments for managing data in a hierarchical storage server storing data blocks of a database system comprising primary storage devices being in an active mode and secondary storage devices being in one of an active and passive mode are provided. In response to read and write requests for data blocks at logical storage locations, a block mapping device determines physical storage locations on the storage devices. Read requests switch over secondary storage devices to the active mode when they are in the passive mode. Write requests write data blocks only to the primary storage devices. Secondary storage devices that have not been accessed for a minimum activation time may be switched over from the active to the passive mode to save power consumption and cooling. Data migration and data recall policies control moving of data blocks between the primary and secondary storage devices and are primarily based on threshold values. | 02-17-2011 |

20110231854 | Method and Infrastructure for Optimizing the Utilization of Computer System's Resources - The present invention optimizes the utilization of computer system resources by considering predefined performance targets of multithreaded applications using the resources. The performance and utilization information for a set of multithreaded applications is provided. Using the performance and utilization information, the invention determines overutilized resources. Using the performance information, the invention also identifies threads and corresponding applications using an overutilized resource. The priority of the identified threads using said overutilized resource is adjusted to maximise a number of applications meeting their performance targets. The adjustments of priorities are executed via a channel that provides the performance and utilization information. | 09-22-2011 |

20100010799 | DEVICE SIMULATION METHOD AND SYSTEM - A simulation method and system. The method includes receiving by a simulation engine in a device driver, input simulation parameters data associated with a simulation process. The simulation engine calculates a simulated scale down process time period for a device associated with the device driver. The simulation engine simulates the device. The simulation engine calculates an overall runtime period for the device. The overall runtime period is calculated based on the simulated scale down process time period. The simulation engine transmits the overall runtime period to a simulator software application for generating an operating schedule for operating the device. | 01-14-2010 |
20100036864 | PREVENTION OF REDUNDANT INDEXES IN A DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A method and system for preventing redundant indexes in a database management system (DBMS). A received create-index command specifies a new index to be created for retrieving data from a table created by the DBMS and a redundancy check to be performed for the new index in conjunction with an action parameter in the create-index command. If the action parameter includes a REPORT value, each redundant index is stored and/or displayed and the new index is created. If the action parameter includes a PREVENT value and an existing index is redundant in view of the new index and the new index is not redundant in view of the existing index, the existing index is deleted and the new index is created. If the action parameter includes a PREVENT value and the new index is redundant in view of an existing index, the new index is not created. | 02-11-2010 |
20100058010 | INCREMENTAL BACKUP USING SNAPSHOT DELTA VIEWS - A backup method that uses snapshot delta views to create backups of a data collection is provided. The method comprises taking a first snapshot of the data collection, in response to determining that a previous snapshot used to create a backup does not exist; creating a backup of the data collection using the first snapshot, in response to determining that the previous snapshot does not exist; recording that the first snapshot was used as a source for the creation of a backup; and taking a second snapshot of the data collection, in response to determining that the previous snapshot that was used as a source for a backup does exist. | 03-04-2010 |
