Abstract:
1. A method to optimize performance of a computer system executing an operator, the method comprising: starting, by a processor, the execution of the operator on the computer system, wherein the operator is a computer process comprising at least one software thread; determining, by the operator, whether a first performance measure is below a threshold performance measure, the first performance measure being a measure of the computer system executing the operator having a first software thread level; decreasing, by the operator, the first software thread level within the operator if the first performance measure is below the threshold performance measure; and increasing, by the operator, the first software thread level within the operator if the first performance measure is not below the threshold performance measure and the first performance measure is greater than a second performance measure, the second performance measure being a measure of the computer system executing the operator having a second software thread level lower than the first software thread level, wherein the software thread level within the operator indicates the number of active software threads within the operator for processing a same type of computing job, wherein increasing the first software thread level comprises:
