Application: Automatic buffer pool page fix prioritization for database tuning (Patent ID: US20230315697A1)
The patent filed by BMC Software Inc. describes a computer-implemented method for identifying a buffer pool for page fixing in a database subsystem running in a logical partition (LPAR). The method involves collecting data from buffer pools, monitoring real storage availability, calculating I/O intensity scores, ranking buffer pools based on these scores, and selecting a buffer pool candidate for page fixing based on cumulative I/O intensity scores. The system also includes features such as monitoring frame sizes, selecting optimal frame sizes, receiving user-configurable thresholds, and providing analysis and rankings for specific buffer pools or database subsystems.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims for a computer program product and a system that implement the method described for identifying a buffer pool for page fixing. These claims detail additional functionalities such as page fixing the selected buffer pool candidate, calculating cumulative I/O intensity scores based on rankings, monitoring frame sizes, receiving user-configurable thresholds, and providing analysis and rankings for specific buffer pools or database subsystems. The system comprises at least one processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium with instructions for executing the method. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive approach to efficiently managing buffer pools in database subsystems to optimize performance and storage availability in a logical partition environment.
