  • Publication number: 20230409350
    Abstract: Plugins that are independently written are executed in a collaborative manner to analysis a log. A plugin executing with respect to a particular node of a hierarchical data structure determines values for a set of keys based on information of the particular node and/or any ancestor nodes, and information stored in a shared repository. The plugin stores the values for the keys as additional information of the particular hierarchical node and/or into the shared repository. The plugin does not access information of non-ancestor nodes when executing with respect to the particular hierarchical node. Each plugin writes into and retrieves from the shared repository using the shared naming convention, thereby sharing information. The sequence of execution of the plugins is not dependent on dependencies amongst the plugins. If a dependent plugin requiring an output from a requisite plugin is first executed, the dependent plugin is flagged as pending and subsequently re-executed.

    Abstract: The disclosed systems, methods and computer readable media relate to managing Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) (NVMeOTCP) connections between a smart network interface card (smartNIC) and a block storage data plane (BSDP) of a cloud computing environment. A software agent (“agent”) executing at the smartNIC may manage a number of network paths (active and, in some cases, passive network paths). The agent may monitor the network traffic (e.g., input/output operations (IOPS)) through the paths (e.g., using established NVMeOTCP connections corresponding to the paths). If a condition is met relating to a performance threshold associated with the monitored paths, the agent may increase or decrease the number established NVMeOTCP connections to match real time network conditions.

    Abstract: NUMA-aware reader-writer locks may leverage lock cohorting techniques that introduce a synthetic level into the lock hierarchy (e.g., one whose nodes do not correspond to the system topology). The synthetic level may include a global reader lock and a global writer lock. A writer thread may acquire a node-level writer lock, then the global writer lock, and then the top-level lock, after which it may access a critical section protected by the lock. The writer may release the lock (if an upper bound on consecutive writers has been met), or may pass the lock to another writer (on the same node or a different node, according to a fairness policy). A reader may acquire the global reader lock (whether or not node-level reader locks are present), and then the top-level lock. However, readers may only hold these locks long enough to increment reader counts associated with them.

  • Publication number: 20230403291
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes an anomaly detection system that generates a resource group including a plurality of resources of a monitored environment based on a grouping property. The values of the grouping property associated with the plurality of resources satisfy a first condition. A first invariance identifying property is selected from a set of invariance identifying properties. It is determined whether values of the first invariance identifying property associated with the plurality of resources satisfy a second condition. Responsive to a successful determination, a first invariant is incorporated in a baseline, wherein the first invariant is defined by the grouping property and the first invariance identifying property. The baseline is used by the anomaly detection system for performing anomaly detection of the monitored environment.

  • Publication number: 20230403323
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to a CI replication service that can replicate domain data from IDCS control plane to data plane and to all subscribed regions of a domain. For instance, the CI replication service can provide replication of required resources of a domain for AuthN and AuthZ from an IDCS local region to other regions for high availability (e.g., to improve latency). The CI replication service can replicate the resources from a domain's home region to all subscribed regions for local availability of data for workloads running in those regions. Further, when a new region is subscribed for a domain, then the service can bootstrap that domain's data from home region before enabling that region for the domain.

    Abstract: Example embodiments facilitate efficient comparison operations of tree structures, resulting in comparison metrics (e.g., similarity or distance metrics or scores) used enhance software systems, such as search algorithms, code optimization software, enterprise database applications, and so on. Trees to be compared are converted into sets, i.e., serialized using a novel enumeration method. Metric functions can then be efficiently applied to the sets to facilitate the comparison operations. In an illustrative embodiment, subtrees of larger trees can be compared individually, pairwise, where the comparison results of the subtree comparisons can be selectively weighted and summed to yield an aggregated comparison metric that is tailored for a specific application or comparison priority.
