An improved method to compensate for coupling overhead in a distributed computing system offering a raw processing capacity, comprising an effective processing capacity (404) and the coupling overhead, is disclosed, wherein the distributed computing system comprises at least one computer system and at least one coupling facility. The method comprises determining a coupling efficiency, determining and adding an amount of missing processing capacity to the effective processing capacity based on the coupling efficiency in a way that the effective processing capacity of the raw processing capacity corresponds to a billable target processing capacity.
A method to compensate for coupling overhead in a distributed computing system offering a raw processing capacity, the raw processing capacity comprising an effective processing capacity and the coupling overhead, wherein said distributed computing system comprises at least one computer system and at least one coupling facility, the method comprising:
A component of a distributed computing system having at least one processor device, the distributed computing system comprising at least one computer system and at least one coupling facility and offering a raw processing capacity, the raw processing capacity including an effective processing capacity and a coupling overhead, the component comprising:
