Managing execution of computer tasks under time constraints

Abstract

A computer-implemented method comprises identifying a computer task; determining a hardware exception source associated with the computer task; determining an exception unit associated with the hardware exception source; determining a parallelization factor associated with the hardware exception source; and determining a parallel execution scenario associated with the computer task based on the exception unit and the parallelization factor. A corresponding computer program product and computer system are also disclosed.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
 identifying a computer task;   determining a hardware exception source, said hardware exception source being associated with said computer task;   determining an exception unit, said exception unit being associated with said hardware exception source;   determining a parallelization factor, said parallelization factor being associated with said hardware exception source; and   determining a parallel execution scenario based on said exception unit and said parallelization factor, said parallel execution scenario being associated with said computer task;   determining an exception impact indicator, said exception impact indicator being associated with said hardware exception source, where the exception unit is determined based on the exception impact indicator; and   determining an exception occurrence frequency indicator, said exception occurrence frequency indicator being associated with said hardware exception source, where said parallelization factor is determined based on said exception occurrence frequency indicator;   wherein:   said hardware exception source is one of: an operating system failure, network failure, file system failure, storage failure; and   said exception unit is a computer system, network system, file system, computer storage system.
