20100161711 | MEASURING CLIENT INTERACTIVE PERFORMANCE USING A DISPLAY CHANNEL - Methods, systems, and computer programs for measuring performance of virtual desktop services offered by a server computer are presented. The method includes receiving from a client computer an action request to be executed at the server computer, where the server computer is configured to generate display views for the requesting client. The method further embeds, at the server computer, a first encoded pixel into a first image frame that is communicated to the client computer when acknowledging receipt of the action request. Further, the method embeds a second encoded pixel into a second image frame that is communicated to the client computer after completion of the action associated with the action request. Action performance time is stored in memory, where the action performance time is the time between arrivals of the first and second image frames at the client computer. The stored timing information is used to generate statistical performance data. | 06-24-2010 |
20100162338 | MEASURING REMOTE VIDEO PLAYBACK PERFORMANCE WITH EMBEDDED ENCODED PIXELS - Methods, systems, and computer programs for measuring performance of remote video delivery are presented. The method embeds at a server computer a marker in selected frames of a video stream. The marker includes a preconfigured sequence of pixels and is followed by a frame number encoded in the pixel data. The method then finds a first marker at a client computer to determine the location of the markers in a display. Once the location of the markers is determined, markers in following frames are detected with their corresponding frame numbers. The method stores the arrival times and frame numbers for each detected marker. The stored arrival times and frame numbers can be used for statistical performance analysis of remote video delivery. | 06-24-2010 |
20110047211 | Measuring Client Interactive Performance Using a Display Channel - Methods, systems, and computer programs for measuring performance of virtual desktop services offered by a server computer are presented. The method includes receiving an action request at the server computer, where the server computer is configured to generate display views for the requesting client. The method further embeds, at the server computer, a first encoded area into a first image frame that is communicated to a client computer when acknowledging receipt of the action request. After the action associated with the action request is completed, the method embeds a second encoded area into a second image frame that is communicated to the client computer. Action performance time is stored in memory, where the action performance time is based on the time difference between arrivals of the first and second image frames at the client computer. The stored timing information is used to generate statistical performance data. | 02-24-2011 |

20140257828 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IN-SERVICE DIAGNOSTICS BASED ON HEALTH SIGNATURES - In accordance with the present disclosure, a system and method are herein disclosed for providing in-service diagnostics based on health signatures of an information handling system. In one embodiment, the health of an information handling system is periodically probed by a software agent running as a service. The service polls a set of probes from interfaces on the host system and tracks parameters indicative of system and component health and performance. An analytics engine processes the data to identify anomalies and outliers, and to detect signatures that are precursors to potential service incidents. A rule set matches signatures to potential actions. Based on the detected signatures and rule sets, the service is operable to select, schedule, and execute one or more diagnostic tests. If an information handling system or component thereof fails a diagnostic test, the results are archived to persistent storage and communicated to an administrator. | 09-11-2014 |
