Abstract
An approached is provided for monitoring data from a host machine running at least one virtual machine (VM); analyzing the monitored data from the host machine; conducting inferences from the analysis to determine a preferred size of a cache; and managing the cache size based upon the inferences for adapting the cache size on the host running the at least one VM.
Claims21
A method, comprising:
- monitoring data from a host machine running at least one virtual machine (VM);
- analyzing the monitored data from the host machine;
- conducting inferences from the analysis to determine a preferred size of a cache;
- and
- managing the cache size based upon the inferences for adapting the cache size on the host running the at least one VM.
2 more elements
A computer system, comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories and one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices;
- a data receiver operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to monitor data from a host machine running at least one virtual machine (VM);
- a data analyzer operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to analyze the monitored data from the host machine;
- an inference manager operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to conduct inferences from the analysis to determine a preferred size of a cache;
- and
- an action manager operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to manage the cache size based upon the inferences for adapting the cache size on the host running the at least one VM.
3 more elements
A computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable, tangible storage medium;
- program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage mediums, to monitor data from a host machine running at least one virtual machine (VM);
- program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage mediums, to analyze the monitored data from the host machine;
- program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage mediums, to conduct inferences from the analysis to determine a preferred size of a cache;
- and
- program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage mediums, to manage the cache size based upon the inferences for adapting the cache size on the host running the at least one VM.
