Systems and methods are provided for using a file-sharing service to identify, execute, and provide continuing access to remote computer programs. In certain embodiments, a list of files to be accessed remotely is provided to a first device, a selection is received from a user at the first device identifying a file from the provided list, and an application is executed on a second device to access a copy of the identified file, which is synchronized with a file-sharing service.

The present disclosure is directed to a technique to reduce latency in feedback-based system performance determination. A system receives, from an application developer device, indications of an in-application event and a first input value for an application content delivery profile. The system receives, via an interface from an application developed by an application developer and executed by a computing device remote from the data processing system and different from the application developer device, a ping indicative of an occurrence of the in-application event on the computing device. The system merges data from the ping with internal data determined by the data processing system to generate merged data. The system determines a predicted performance for the in-application event and provides an indication of the predicted performance. The system configures, responsive to the indication of the predicted performance, the application content delivery profile with a second input value.

A plurality of completion times associated with an application request may be obtained. The plurality of completion times may include a first completion time and a second completion time. A plurality of response times associated with a first asynchronous operation triggered by the application request may be obtained. The plurality of completion times may include a first response time associated with the first completion time and a second response time associated with the second completion time. A first correlation score may be determined describing an effect of the first asynchronous operation on the application request based on the first completion time, the second completion time, the first response time, and the second response time. Visualization data may be generated representing the first correlation score.

A computer system supports measuring execution time of concurrent threads. A thread allocates a timing buffer in thread local storage. During execution, the thread also has access to a system timer which it can sample with microsecond or better precision with a single instruction. For any sequence of instructions within the thread for which execution time is to be measured, the sequence of instructions has an identifier and includes two commands, herein called a start command and an end command. The start command samples the system timer to obtain a start time, and stores the identifier and the start time in the timing buffer in the thread local storage. The end command samples the system timer to obtain an end time, and updates the data for the corresponding identifier in the timing buffer, to indicate an elapsed time for execution of the sequence of instructions. The start command and end command each can be implemented as a single executable instruction.

Resource utilization data for a set of system components of a computing system is collected. The resource utilization data includes performance records for a set of jobs. By analyzing the collected resource utilization data for the set of system components, a resource allocation is identified for a particular job of the set of jobs. A first execution time for the particular job is determined based on the resource allocation for the particular job and the resource utilization data for the set of system components. A location at which to execute the particular job is determined based on how the particular job has been executed at the location previously. The first execution time may be a time when the computer system achieves a resource availability threshold with respect to the resource allocation. Aspects are also directed toward performing the particular job at the first execution time.

In the present invention, a management system has a storage device and a processor. The storage device holds an information processing program for controlling information pertaining to a storage system by utilizing a database. The processor executes an update program that updates the information processing program and the database utilized by the information processing program. The update program calculates an estimated update time needed to update the information processing program and the database on the basis of the size of at least a portion of the database utilized by the information processing program before being updated and the structure of the database utilized by the information processing program after being updated, and outputs the estimated update time thus calculated.
