Abstract

Among other disclosed subject matter, a computer-implemented method includes receiving an indication that execution of an instance of a first task is degraded relative to a performance threshold associated with the first task. Performance data associated with the execution of the instance of the first task and performance data associated with execution of a plurality of additional tasks executed on the computing device are collected. For each of the plurality of additional tasks, the method includes determining a score for the respective additional task based on the performance data associated with the execution of the instance of the first task and performance data associated with the respective additional task. The method includes identifying one or more additional tasks as a potential cause of degraded performance based on the scores associated with each of the plurality of additional tasks. The method includes modifying an execution of a particular identified task.
