  • Publication number: 20230350884
    Abstract: Techniques for tracing attributes through queries in a set of nested queries are disclosed. A graphical user interface displays individual sub-queries as separate visual representations. Based on detecting a selection, a system analyzes data underlying the visual representations to identify queries, among the set of nested queries, that are associated with a particular attribute. One selection results in the system analyzing the underlying data to identify an origin query for an attribute, from among the set of nested queries. Another selection results in the system analyzing the underlying data to identify queries, from among the set of nested queries, that use the attribute received from a selected query. Another selection results in the system generating SQL code for a selected subset of queries, among the set of nested queries.

  • Patent number: 11797882
    Abstract: We describe a system that performs prognostic-surveillance operations based on an inferential model that dynamically adapts to evolving operational characteristics of a monitored asset. During a surveillance mode, the system receives a set of time-series signals gathered from sensors in the monitored asset. Next, the system uses an inferential model to generate estimated values for the set of time-series signals, and then performs a pairwise differencing operation between actual values and the estimated values for the set of time-series signals to produce residuals. Next, the system performs a sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) on the residuals to produce SPRT alarms. When a tripping frequency of the SPRT alarms exceeds a threshold value, which is indicative of an incipient anomaly in the monitored asset, the system triggers an alert. While the prognostic-surveillance system is operating in the surveillance mode, the system incrementally updates the inferential model based on the time-series signals.

  • Patent number: 11797438
    Abstract: Fast modern interconnects may be exploited to control when garbage collection is performed on the nodes (e.g., virtual machines, such as JVMs) of a distributed system in which the individual processes communicate with each other and in which the heap memory is not shared. A garbage collection coordination mechanism (a coordinator implemented by a dedicated process on a single node or distributed across the nodes) may obtain or receive state information from each of the nodes and apply one of multiple supported garbage collection coordination policies to reduce the impact of garbage collection pauses, dependent on that information. For example, if the information indicates that a node is about to collect, the coordinator may trigger a collection on all of the other nodes (e.g., synchronizing collection pauses for batch-mode applications where throughput is important) or may steer requests to other nodes (e.g., for interactive applications where request latencies are important).

  • Patent number: 11797412
    Abstract: An anomaly service receives log data from nodes in a computing environment, which includes a sequence of information indicative of log messages produced by the nodes. The anomaly service identifies dominant patterns in the sequence of information that are representative of non-anomalous blocks of the log messages. Having identified the dominant patterns, the service is able to extract the non-anomalous blocks from the log data to reveal anomalous blocks that do not fit the dominant patterns. The service may then generate anomaly vectors based on the anomalous blocks, which can be distributed to the nodes to detect anomalies.

  • Patent number: 11797539
    Abstract: The present invention relates to hash join acceleration. In an embodiment, a computer receives a request to join build data rows with probe data rows. Each data row is associated with a respective join key value. From multiple buckets of a hash table, a bucket is selected that contains entries of multiple respective join key values in respective locations within the bucket. Whether or not the bucket contains an entry of the join key value of a build data row is detected. While building, multiple locations within the bucket are concurrently inspected to find an empty location in which to store the entry of the join key value of the build data row. The bucket is concurrently probed to detect whether or not the entries in the bucket include an entry of a join key value of a probe data row. For the join request, a response is sent that is based on the concurrent probing of the bucket.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to system and techniques for prediction of failures in resources deployed in a data plane of a cloud based infrastructure. The resource are selected from a plurality of cloud based resources arranged in a hierarchical manner and allocated to a client device. A predictor employs a first prediction model to obtain a first prediction of a failure of a resource, and a second prediction model to obtain a second prediction of the failure of the resource. Weights are assigned to the first prediction and second prediction based at least in part on a criterion. The predictor computes an overall prediction of the failure of the resource based at least in part on at least one of the first prediction, the second prediction or the respective weights assigned to the predictions.

  • Patent number: 11797456
    Abstract: Techniques described herein provide a handshake mechanism and protocol for notifying an operating system whether system hardware supports persistent cache flushing. System firmware may determine whether the hardware is capable of supporting a full flush of processor caches and volatile memory buffers in the event of a power outage or asynchronous reset. If the hardware is capable, then persistent cache flushing may be selectively enabled and advertised to the operating system. Once persistent cache flushing is enabled, the operating system and applications may treat data committed to volatile processor caches as persistent. If disabled or not supported by system hardware, then the platform may not advertise support for persistent cache flushing to the operating system.

  • Publication number: 20230334310
    Abstract: Techniques for managing maximum request rates to shared system resources are disclosed. A system applies a machine learning model, such as a long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network (RNN) type model to historical maximum request rate data to determine a target maximum request rate for a particular client and a particular period of time. The system obtains the historical maximum request rate data from a distributed ledger, such as a blockchain. System clients may record modifications to their maximum request rates in the blockchain. The system modifies the maximum request rates associated with the system clients authorized to access shared resources based on the modified maximum request rates contained in the new blocks added to the blockchain.
