US 2018/0121103 A1 · RESOURCE ALLOCATION BASED ON TRANSACTION PROCESSOR CLASSIFICATION

Abstract

A data transaction processing system including multiple transaction processors also includes a resource allocation system that characterizes the transaction processors based on input output electronic data transaction request message patterns associated with the transaction processors. The resource allocation system dynamically allocates computing resources, such as data path bandwidth, processor priority, CPU cores, memory, and processing threads to the various transaction processors and components therein based upon the transaction processor characterizations, improving the overall processing throughput, resource utilization, and efficiency of the multi-transaction processor system.

A computer system comprising:

a first logic stored in a memory and executable by a data transaction processor including an input component allocated a first amount of resources and an output component allocated a second amount of resources to cause the data transaction processor to receive a plurality of input electronic data transaction request messages over a data input path allocated a third amount of resources;
a second logic stored in the memory and executable by the data transaction processor to cause the data transaction processor to process each input electronic data transaction request message;
a third logic stored in the memory and executable by a latency processor to associate a processing latency with each processed input electronic data transaction request message;
a fourth logic stored in the memory and executable by the data transaction processor to cause the data transaction processor to transmit an output electronic data transaction request message responsive to each input electronic data transaction request message over a data output path allocated a fourth amount of resources;
a fifth logic stored in the memory and executable by a reallocation processor to cause the reallocation processor to determine, for each input electronic data transaction request message, an average directional change in processing latency for a predetermined number of previously received consecutive input electronic data transaction request messages of the plurality of input electronic data transaction request messages;
a sixth logic stored in the memory and executable by the reallocation processor to cause the reallocation processor to detect a first local maximum value above an upper threshold of the average directional change in processing latency for the predetermined number of previously received consecutive input electronic data transaction request messages;
a seventh logic stored in the memory and executable by the reallocation processor to cause the reallocation processor to detect a first local minimum value below a lower threshold of the average directional change in processing latency for the predetermined number of previously received consecutive input electronic data transaction request messages, the first local minimum value occurring after the first local maximum value;
an eighth logic stored in the memory and executable by the reallocation processor to cause the reallocation processor to detect a second local maximum value above the upper threshold of the average directional change in processing latency for the predetermined number of previously received consecutive input electronic data transaction request messages, the second local maximum value occurring after the first local minimum value;
a ninth logic stored in the memory and executable by the reallocation processor to cause the reallocation processor to detect when output electronic data transaction request messages responsive to input electronic data transaction request messages associated with the first local maximum value do not correspond in time with input electronic data transaction request messages associated with the second local maximum value;
and
a tenth logic stored in the memory and executable by the reallocation processor to cause the reallocation processor to, upon detecting that output electronic data transaction request messages responsive to the input electronic data transaction request messages associated with the first local maximum value do not correspond in time with input electronic data transaction request messages associated with the second local maximum value, reallocate at least one of:
(i) some of the second amount of resources allocated to the output component to the input component, or (ii) some of the fourth amount of resources allocated to the data output path to the data input path.
