Method and system for determining whether to send a synchronous or asynchronous resource request

A data processing system for making a determination to send a synchronous or asynchronous resource request, comprising:

• a bus system;
• a storage device connected to the bus system, wherein the storage device includes a set of instructions;
• and
• a processing unit connected to the bus system, wherein the processing unit executes the set of instructions to receive response time data for resource requests in response to sending a request to receive the response time data for the resource requests, store the response time data for the resource requests, receive a request from a requester for response time data for a particular type of resource request, search the response time data for the resource requests for the particular type of resource request, and send the response time data for the particular type of resource request to the requester in response to determining that the response time data for the particular type of resource request is present within the response time data for the resource requests, wherein the requester sends one of a synchronous resource request or an asynchronous resource request based on the response time data for the particular type of resource request.

A computer program product for making a determination to send a synchronous or asynchronous resource request, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer usable medium having computer usable program code embodied therein, the computer usable medium comprising:
• computer usable program code configured to receive response time data for resource requests in response to sending a request to receive the response time data for the resource requests;
• computer usable program code configured to store the response time data for the resource requests;
• computer usable program code configured to receive a request from a requester for response time data for a particular type of resource request;
• computer usable program code configured to search the response time data for the resource requests for the particular type of resource request;
• and
• computer usable program code configured to send the response time data for the particular type of resource request to the requester in response to determining that the response time data for the particular type of resource request is present within the response time data for the resource requests, wherein the requester sends one of a synchronous resource request or an asynchronous resource request based on the response time data for the particular type of resource request.
