Abstract
A method, system and product for predicting impact of workload migration. The method comprising: obtaining a utilization pattern of a workload that is being executed on a first platform; generating a synthetic workload that is configured to have the utilization pattern when executed on the first platform; executing the synthetic workload on a second platform; and identifying a change in performance between execution of the synthetic workload on the first platform and between execution of the synthetic workload on the second platform in order to provide a prediction of an impact of migrating the workload from the first platform to the second platform.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining a utilization pattern of a workload that is being executed on a first platform;
- generating a synthetic workload that is configured to have the utilization pattern when executed on the first platform;
- executing the synthetic workload on a second platform;
- and
- identifying a change in performance between execution of the synthetic workload on the first platform and between execution of the synthetic workload on the second platform in order to provide a prediction of an impact of migrating the workload from the first platform to the second platform.
A computerized apparatus having a processor, the processor being adapted to perform the steps of:
- obtaining a utilization pattern of a workload that is being executed on a first platform;
- generating a synthetic workload that is configured to have the utilization pattern when executed on the first platform;
- executing the synthetic workload on a second platform;
- and
- identifying a change in performance between execution of the synthetic workload on the first platform and between execution of the synthetic workload on the second platform in order to provide a prediction of an impact of migrating the workload from the first platform to the second platform.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium retaining program instructions, which instructions when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- obtaining a utilization pattern of a workload that is being executed on a first platform;
- generating a synthetic workload that is configured to have the utilization pattern when executed on the first platform;
- executing the synthetic workload on a second platform;
- and
- identifying a change in performance between execution of the synthetic workload on the first platform and between execution of the synthetic workload on the second platform in order to provide a prediction of an impact of migrating the workload from the first platform to the second platform.
