Abstract
Techniques used to enhance the execution of long-running or complex software application instances and jobs on computing systems. In one embodiment, inadequate system resources and failure of a job execution on the computing system may be predicted. A determination may be made as to whether inadequate resources exist prior to execution of the job, and resource requirements may be monitored to detect in real time if inadequate resources will be encountered during the job execution for cases where, for example, resource availability has unexpectedly decreased. If a resource deficiency is predicted on the executing computer system, the job may be paused and corrective action may be taken or a user may be alerted. The job may resume after the resource deficiency is met. Additional embodiments may integrate resource monitoring with the adaptive selection of a computer system or application execution environment based on resource capability predictions and benchmarks.
