Abstract

PURPOSE:To display the executing process rate of a program under execution by calculating the program executing process rate based on the quantity of various resources consumed up to the present time point and that consumed up to the end of the program. CONSTITUTION:A program executing process rate calculation means 4 calculates the executing process rate of a program based on the CPU occupying time covering the start of the program through the present time point and the past CPU occupying time consumed for execution of the program stored in a pro gram information store file 2. Then the means 4 calculates also the program executing process rate from the I/O frequency executed up to the present time point and the I/O frequency set at execution of the program stored in the file 2. The smaller one of both executing process rates is defined as an actual program executing process rate and reported to a program executing state display means 5. Thus, the executing process rate of a program under execution is displayed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for displaying program execution status, and particularly to a method for displaying program execution status in a computer system.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of program execution status display method, it is difficult to determine which resource (CPU) a specified program uses.

Information indicating how long the file (files, etc.) has been used so far, the number of input/output operations, etc.) was displayed,
It was not displayed what percentage of the usage (execution progress rate) it would take until the program ended.

Therefore, if you want to know the program execution progress rate,
Normally, an operator, programmer, or other program executor or system operator records in advance the CPU occupation time, input/output count, etc. required for the program to finish, and then displays the information by inputting a program execution status display instruction command. The program execution progress rate was manually calculated by referring to the CPU occupation time of the program up to the present time, the number of inputs and outputs, etc.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional program execution status display method described above, information indicating which resources (CPU files, etc.) the specified program is currently using and how much (time, number of input/outputs, etc.) is displayed. Since information such as what percentage of the program's total processing is currently being executed (execution progress rate) was not displayed, in order to calculate the program execution progress rate, the use of various resources of each program must be calculated in advance. It is necessary to record the amount and manually calculate the execution progress rate, which is troublesome and prone to errors.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, to display the execution progress rate of a program being executed in response to input of a program execution status display instruction command, and to display the execution progress rate of a program being executed when manually calculating the program execution progress rate. To provide a program execution status display method that allows the program execution progress rate to be determined without any trouble or calculation errors.

[Means to solve the problem]

The program execution status display method of the present invention is a program execution status display method for a computer system that displays the status of a program being executed on a visual display device, and displays the usage amount of various resources used by the program at the end of the program. a program information storage means for storing information for each program; and receiving a program execution status display instruction command for the program being executed;
The execution progress of the program based on the usage amount of various resources used up to the present regarding the specified program and the usage amount of various resources used until the end of the program stored by the program information storage means. The present invention has a program execution progress rate calculation means for calculating the program execution progress rate, and a program execution state display means for displaying the program execution progress rate obtained by the program execution progress rate calculation means on a visual display device.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

The program execution status display method shown in FIG. 1 stores the cPU (central processing unit) occupation time used by the program and the file l10 (input/output) count for each program in the program information storage file 2 at the end of the program. A keyboard 3 for inputting program execution status display instruction commands for the program being executed, CPU occupancy time and files used up to now regarding the program specified by the program execution status display instruction commands. I10 count, CPU occupancy time used until the end of the program saved in program information storage file 2, and file I1
The program execution progress rate calculation means 4 calculates the program execution progress rate based on the number of times the program is executed, and the program execution progress rate obtained by the program execution progress rate calculation means 4 is CR.
It consists of a program execution status display means 5 that is displayed on a T (visible display device) 6.

Referring to FIG. 2, the program information storage file 2 includes the program name, CPU occupation time, and file I10.
It is designed to store multiple records consisting of counts.

Next, the operation of the program execution status display method of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained.

When the executed program ends, the program information storage means 1 stores the CPU occupation time used by the program and the number of times of file I10 in the program information storage file 2.

Specifically, the program information storage means 1 first searches the program information storage file 2 for the program name using the name of the terminated program, and if there is no same program name, it newly stores the program name, CPU occupation time, and file I10 count. It is registered in the program information storage file 2 as a record.

On the other hand, if there is the same program name, the program information storage means 1 replaces the CPLI occupancy time and file 170 count of that record with the current data. As a result, the CPU occupation time of the terminated program and the file I
10 times is registered in the program information storage file 2.

When the operator inputs the program name of the program being executed from the keyboard 3 as a parameter of the program execution status display command, the program execution progress calculation means 4 checks the specified program name.

That is, the program execution progress calculation means 4 first checks whether the program with the designated program name is actually the program currently being executed, and if the program is not currently being executed, an error occurs.

Also, even if that program is running, a record with that program name will be stored in the program information storage file 2.
If the program is not registered in the program (that is, it is the first program executed), an error occurs.

Only when the program is currently being executed and a record of the corresponding program name is registered in the program information storage file 2, the program execution progress rate calculating means 4 calculates the subsequent program execution progress rate.

The program execution progress calculation means 4 first calculates the CPU occupation time (
Calculate the execution elapsed rate of this program using the following formula from the CPU occupancy time (denoted as CPU) when the program was executed in the past, which is stored in the program information storage file 2. do.

Execution progress rate (%) CPU calculated from CPU occupancy time.

=CPU. ×100 Next, the program execution progress rate calculation means 4 calculates the number of times the file I10 has been executed since the program was executed (referred to as I10.), and the number of times the program has been executed up to the present time, and the number of times the program has been executed, which is stored in the program information storage file 2. The execution progress rate of this program is calculated using the following formula from the number of times file I10 was executed in the past (referred to as Iloe).

Execution progress rate (%) obtained from file I10 times Next, the program execution progress rate calculation means 4 determines the smaller of the execution progress rates obtained based on the above two types of calculation formulas as the actual program execution progress rate. The program execution status display means 5 is notified.

The program execution status display means 5 receives the notified program execution progress rate and displays it on the CRT 6.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention provides a program information storage means, a program execution progress rate calculation means, and a program execution state display means. The program execution rate can be displayed, allowing program executors or system operators to easily grasp how much the program has been processed without the hassle and calculation errors that would otherwise be required when manually calculating the program execution progress rate. effective.
