Abstract
Resource-based optimization is used to resolve some abnormal job terminations. An abnormal job termination is analyzed to determine if a resource shortage caused the termination. For a resource-dependent termination, the job is rescheduled for a time when sufficient resources are available.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining a type of an abnormal termination of a job;
- collecting resource usage data;
- analyzing resource availability, based at least in part on the resource usage data, to generate a resource availability analysis;
- and
- responsive to a determination that the type is environmental, taking a rescheduling action, based at least in part on the resource availability analysis;
- wherein:
- at least the determining step is performed by computer software running on computer hardware.
4 more elements
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having stored thereon:
- first program instructions programmed to determine a type of an abnormal termination of a job;
- second program instructions programmed to collect resource usage data;
- third program instructions programmed to analyze resource availability, based at least in part on the resource usage data, to generate a resource availability analysis;
- and
- fourth program instructions programmed, responsive to a determination that the type is environmental, to take a rescheduling action, based at least in part on the resource availability analysis.
2 more elements
A computer system comprising:
- a processor set;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium;
- wherein:
- the processor set is structured, located, connected, and/or programmed to run program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium;
- and
- the program instructions include:
- first program instructions programmed to determine a type of an abnormal termination of a job;
- second program instructions programmed to collect resource usage data;
- third program instructions programmed to analyze resource availability, based at least in part on the resource usage data, to generate a resource availability analysis;
- and
- fourth program instructions programmed, responsive to a determination that the type is environmental, to take a rescheduling action, based at least in part on the resource availability analysis.
