Patent ID: 7702965

Claim:
Method for an automated monitoring and controlling the operational performance of a computer or processor system ( 1 ) comprising the following steps: (a) detecting directly at least two parameters of individual components of the computer or processor system ( 1 ), wherein at least one of said individual components is ancillary to a processor of the computer or processor system, and wherein said at least two parameters are parameters that relate to failures of said individual components; (b) comparing the detected parameters with predetermined limit values; (c) determining, if predetermined limit values are exceeded or fallen below of by one or several of said detected parameters; (d) determining an operational event on basis of said limit values that have been exceeded or fallen below of; (e) selecting a reaction corresponding to said determined operational event from a number of predetermined reaction patterns, wherein said number of predetermined reaction patterns includes reactions that control individually each of a plurality of discrete components being monitored to maintain or prolong the serviceability of the monitored system and protect to the greatest possible extent active calculation processes as well as their data bases and results and to avoid damage to the discrete component being controlled by a reaction; and (f) transmitting a control command to alter the operational performance corresponding to said selected reaction to said computer or processor system ( 1 ).
