US 10,095,546 B2 · Batch processing of oversubscribed system based on subscriber usage patterns

Abstract

Some embodiments include a method of scheduling batch processing of a batch processing system based on subscriber usage patterns. The method includes steps of recording a last job commencement event for a subscriber when the batch processing system starts processing a batch process for the subscriber; recording a last usage event for the subscriber when the subscriber uses the batch processing system; in an event that a time period elapsed since the last usage event for the subscriber is less than a time period elapsed since the last job commencement event for the subscriber, placing a next batch process of the subscriber into a recently used queue; identifying the next batch process of the subscriber as the oldest batch process from the recently used queue; and start processing the identified batch process for the subscriber.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method of scheduling batch processing of a batch processing system, comprising:

automatically recording subscriber usage events based on subscriber usage patterns collected in response to subscriber background usage, wherein said subscriber usage events are identified from any of subscriber interactions with the batch processing system when background usage for the subscriber occurs;
recording a last job commencement event for a subscriber when the batch processing system starts processing a batch process for the subscriber;
recording a last usage event for the subscriber when the subscriber uses the batch processing system;
and
where a first time period elapsed since the last usage event for the subscriber is less than a second time period elapsed since the last job commencement event for the subscriber, placing a next batch process of the subscriber into a recently used queue.

2 more elements

A computing device, comprising:

a processor;
a user interface configured to interact with users of the computing device;
a batch scheduler module;
a memory storing executable instructions implementing the batch scheduler module which, when executed by the processor, is configured to perform the process of:
automatically recording user usage events based on user usage patterns collected in response to user background usage, wherein said user usage events are identified from any of user interactions with the batch processing system when background usage for the user occurs;
monitoring user usage events for the users of the computing device,
recording batch process commencement events for the users and time durations of last batch processes for the users,
determining that a time period elapsed since the last usage event for a second user is less than a time period elapsed since the last batch process commencement event for the second user, and moving a second batch process of the second user into a recently used queue.
