Patent ID: 8839208

Claim:
A computer system for rating interestingness of profiling data subsets comprising: a memory to store computer instructions; and a processor coupled to said memory to execute said computer instructions to: receive a plurality of nodes associated with at least one executed computer program; receive a first set of scores for said plurality of nodes, wherein a score of said first set of scores indicates a resource consumption of a corresponding node; calculating a score of a second set of scores for said corresponding node by summing a plurality of scores from said first set of scores, wherein said plurality of scores corresponds to said corresponding node or to at least one node related to said corresponding node, wherein the score of said second set of scores indicates a combined resource consumption of said corresponding node, and wherein the combined resource consumption comprises the resource consumption of the corresponding node and resource consumption of the at least one node related to said corresponding node; removing a node from said plurality of nodes when a proportion between a score of said second set of scores corresponding to said node and a score of said second set of scores corresponding to a related node is lower than a second predefined value; calculate an interestingness rate for a group of nodes from said plurality of nodes based on one or more of said first set of scores and said second set of scores, wherein said interestingness rate is associated with a cardinality of said group of nodes, the combined resource consumption of a node from said group of nodes, and a corrected total resource consumption of said node from said group of nodes; and compare said calculated interestingness rate with at least one threshold rate to verify interestingness for said group of nodes.
