Application Performance Time Counter for Budget Enforcement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems lack the ability to enforce performance budgets for applications and provide immediate feedback on performance violations, leading to delayed detection and resolution of system faults.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a performance time counter that monitors the execution time of processes and generates reports when thresholds are exceeded, allowing for automatic termination, debugger initiation, or logging, and enabling timely corrective actions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional watchdog timers are used to monitor system faults, then system reset or fail-safe control can be achieved, but immediate feedback to developers and enforcement of performance budgets cannot be provided
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automated feedback mechanisms that immediately notify developers when performance budgets are violated. The system generates notifications containing detailed information about the violation, enabling real-time feedback loops between system operation and development correction, eliminating the delayed manual evaluation process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-monitoring and self-reporting of performance violations without requiring external intervention. The automated enforcement mechanisms independently track performance metrics, detect budget violations, and generate notifications, allowing the system to service its own performance monitoring needs.
2Manufacturing precision
If performance budgets are set for application components, then performance compliance can be evaluated, but automated enforcement and immediate detection of violations cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements automated feedback loops that continuously monitor performance metrics against predefined budgets and immediately notify developers of violations. This creates a closed-loop control system where performance compliance is both measured and automatically enforced through real-time notifications.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual performance evaluation processes with automated electronic monitoring and notification systems. The mechanical process of manually checking performance budgets is substituted with automated software agents that continuously track metrics and generate instant violation reports.
3Ease of operation
If manual evaluation of performance budgets is performed, then development control can be maintained, but turnaround time between system changes and performance impact detection is prolonged
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces manual performance evaluation with automated electronic monitoring. Software agents continuously track performance metrics and automatically generate violation notifications, eliminating the time-consuming manual process of evaluating performance budgets while maintaining operational simplicity through centralized management interfaces.
Solution Approach 2:
The automated monitoring system operates continuously without interruption, constantly tracking performance metrics and immediately detecting violations. This continuous operation eliminates the gaps inherent in manual evaluation processes, ensuring uninterrupted performance oversight and instant detection of any budget violations.

AI summary
An indication of a start of an execution of a process can be received, and a time counter associated with measuring a time elapsed can be initiated by the execution of the process. The time elapsed by the execution of the process can be compared with a predetermined threshold timeout value, and a report indicating the time elapsed by the execution of the process and whether the elapsed time exceeded the predetermined threshold timeout value can be automatically generated.
