SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR POLICY-BASED PROGRAM CONFIGURATION

Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for adaptive polity-based configuration of programs. An example method comprises collecting from a computer system configuration and performance information, rating system performance based on the collected information and classifying the computer system based on its performance rating. The method further includes selecting based on the system classification an operational policy for a computer program. Each policy specifies different program settings and different limits of system resource utilization by the program for each class of computer systems. The method further includes monitoring system resource utilization during program execution to determine whether system resource utilization exceeds the limit specified in the selected operational policy. If the system resource utilization exceeds the specified limit, the method selects another policy specifying different program settings and a different limit of system resource utilization.
