20090217286 | Adjunct Processor Load Balancing - Managing the workload across one or more partitions of a plurality of partitions of a computing environment. One or more processors are identified in a partition to be managed by a quality weight defined according to characteristics of each corresponding processor. A load of each identified processor is measured depending on the requests already allocated to be processed by each corresponding processor. Each identified processor has a performance factor determined based on the measured load and the quality weight. The performance factor is a measurement of processor load. A new request is identified to be allocated to the partition, selecting a processor from the partition with the lowest performance factor. The new request is allocated to the selected processor. | 08-27-2009 |
20100100656 | INTERRUPTION FACILITY FOR ADJUNCT PROCESSOR QUEUES - Interruption facility for adjunct processor queues. In response to a queue transitioning from a no replies pending state to a reply pending state, an interruption is initiated. This interruption signals to a processor that a reply to a request is waiting on the queue. In order for the queue to take advantage of the interruption capability, it is enabled for interruptions. | 04-22-2010 |
20110145596 | Secure Data Handling In A Computer System - An improved computer system comprising a first storage area accessible by an operating system and a second storage area which is accessible by authorized functions only is disclosed. According to the invention at least one protected storage area is implemented into the second storage area, wherein the operating system installs at least one secret key and/or at least one customized processing function into regions of the at least one protected storage area, wherein the operating system transfers data, and/or parameters to process into regions of the at least one protected storage area, wherein the operating system selects one of the customized processing functions to execute, wherein the selected customized processing function is executed and accesses storage regions of the at least one protected storage area to process the data and/or the parameters, and wherein resulting process data is read from the at least one protected storage area. | 06-16-2011 |

20150199251 | TECHNIQUES FOR MONITORING A SHARED HARDWARE RESOURCE - A technique for monitoring a shared hardware resource in a computer system running at least two partitions includes collecting measurement data from the hardware resource. An aggregation of the measurement data over a certain time interval is computed. A noise level value adapted to a workload is calculated using a workload dependent heuristic. Noise data, based on the calculated noise level value, is generated. The computed aggregation of measurement data is mixed with the generated noise data. The mixed aggregation of measurement data is output to an external interface for monitoring. | 07-16-2015 |
