Abstract:
Processing services are often provisioned by defining and adjusting the performance capabilities of individual servers, and in multitenancy scenarios, servers may allocate computational resources to ensure that a first client workload does not impact a second client workload. However, a reduced performance capability of a server may create a processing jam with respect to an upstream server of the process path of the workload, where the processing rate mismatch creates a risk of failing to fulfill the performance guarantee for the workload. Instead, the downstream server may monitor and compare its performance capability with the performance guarantee. If a performance guarantee failure risk arises, the server may transmit a performance capability alert to the upstream server, which may rate-limit the processing of the workload. Rate-limiting by the first server in the server path may limit workload intake to a volume for which the process path can fulfill the performance guarantee.

Claim (Index 9):
A method of configuring a server of a server set to participate in workloads, the method comprising:\n executing, by a processor of the server, instructions that cause the server to:\n receive a workload from an upstream server of a process path, wherein the workload is associated with a performance guarantee; \n perform a task on the workload; \n identify a performance capability of the server; \n compare the performance capability with the performance guarantee of the workload; \n responsive to determining that the performance capability risks failing the performance guarantee, transmit a performance capability alert to the upstream server; and \n responsive to receiving a performance capability alert from a downstream server of the process path, rate-limit the task performed on the workload to reduce the computational load of the downstream server.
