ABSTRACT:
An approach generates performance grades. A performance grade is a value or set of values that indicates the relative work performance offered by a resource, such as a server in a multi-node system, relative to other resources. Performance grades are used to dynamically allocate work within a multi-node computer system. For example, performance grades are used for connection-time balancing, and to direct a database connection request to a multi-node database instance that a performance grade indicates provides better performance. Performance grade deltas are generated that reflect the incremental change in performance grade for additional sessions or work. Performance deltas are used to direct incoming sessions, to more optimally balance workload, and to deal with logon storms where a large number of connect requests arrive in a very short time period.
