System and method for calibrating headroom margin
Issued US 7,467,291
A system and method for dynamically calculating margin for a set of computer resources (e.g., processors, disk storage, memory, communications). The headroom of a set of resources is equal to the total capacity of the resources minus a margin. Margin is a portion of the total capacity not to be used, so as to allow for acceptable response times. An initial margin may be selected using a graph plotting total resource utilization level percentage against response time. For a desired or acceptable…
A system and method for dynamically calculating margin for a set of computer resources (e.g., processors, disk storage, memory, communications). The headroom of a set of resources is equal to the total capacity of the resources minus a margin. Margin is a portion of the total capacity not to be used, so as to allow for acceptable response times. An initial margin may be selected using a graph plotting total resource utilization level percentage against response time. For a desired or acceptable response time factor, the initial margin is selected as 100% minus the utilization percentage that yields the selected response time factor. Then, as the workload is run, data are collected showing response times for different load levels. A modified curve is generated (e.g., using standard regression) and a new margin selected from that curve.

AA Michelson Award for Contributions to Computer Performance Measurement
Computer Measurement Group
I spent many years documenting performance metrics and coming up with better ways to monitor Solaris in particular, and worked with many vendors that I met at CMG to improve their products. https://www.cmg.org/2017/11/aa-michelson-award-winners/
