PERFORMANCE-DRIVEN TIMEOUT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18296515 titled 'PERFORMANCE-DRIVEN TIMEOUT

The storage system described in the abstract consists of a management system and a storage processor connected via a communications network. The storage processor is responsible for receiving instructions, identifying tasks associated with operations, storing timeout thresholds for these tasks in a database, selecting tasks, and updating timeout thresholds based on resource utilization while operations are ongoing. The management system transmits instructions to the storage processor, retrieves timeout thresholds, detects expired thresholds, and aborts operations when necessary.
