Techniques to track resource usage statistics per transaction across multiple layers of protocols and across multiple threads, processes and/or devices are disclosed. In one embodiment, for example, a technique may comprise assigning an activity context to a request at the beginning of a first stage, where the activity context has an initial set of properties. The values of the properties may be assigned to the properties in the initial set during the first stage. The value of a property may be stored on a data store local to the first stage. The activity context may be transferred to a second stage when the request begins the second stage. The transferred activity context may include a property from the initial set of properties. The stored values may be analyzed to determine a resource usage statistic. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques for tracking resource usage statistics per transaction across multiple layers of protocols

Allocation of computing threads can include receiving a registration of a workload, the registration including a workload classification and a workload priority; monitoring statuses of a plurality of resources; identifying, by a computing device, a thread of a resource from the plurality of resources, the thread being programmed to execute a task associated with the workload; evaluating, by the computing device, the workload classification and the workload priority of the workload with workload classifications and workload priorities of other workloads requesting the thread; and allocating the thread to one of the workloads based on evaluation of the workload classification and the workload priority.

Resource health based scheduling of workload tasks

A computer-implemented method for allocating threads includes: receiving a registration of a workload, the registration including a workload classification and a workload priority;

The described implementations relate to processing of electronic data. One implementation is manifest as a system that can include logic and at least one processing device configured to execute the logic. The logic can be configured to receive a first task request to execute a first task that uses a resource when performed. The first task can have an associated first level of interactivity. The logic can also be configured to receive a second task request to execute a second task that also uses the resource when performed. The second task can have an associated second level of interactivity. The logic can also be configured to selectively throttle the first task and the second task based upon the first level of interactivity and the second level of interactivity.

Identifying and throttling tasks based on task interactivity

Various technologies and techniques improve the updating of client content in a client/server arrangement. A client notification engine of a user interface subscribes to receive notifications from a central server side notification engine. The client notification engine polls the server side notification engine at a specified interval. The server side notification engine receives and aggregates notifications about and/or from one or more sources and aggregates them into a collection of relevant notifications. These notifications are sent to the client where the different subscriptions originated and are then used by the user interface in the client to update part of the content being displayed as appropriate.
