Abstract

See full text

A computer-implemented scheduling method and apparatus for scheduling operations relating to a predetermined activity. The activity includes scheduling operations of network-attached storage devices, or other computer-related operations, or non-computer related operations, such as manufacturing plant operations. Operational data is received that is indicative of the operations. Attributes regarding the received operational data are identified. A linear ordering of the attributes is imposed via a predetermined curve. The curve is an aggregation of at least substantially continuous functions from intervals so as to form a substantially repetitive pattern. Operations are scheduled based upon the imposed linear ordering. With such an approach, the overall performance aspects of the system is significantly improved.
