Abstract: A high performance (HPC) system is described. The system includes a head node comprising one or more processors to execute a configuration manager to receive a database trigger and transmit configuration updates including configuration input data and a plurality of compute nodes, communicatively coupled to the head node, each compute node comprising one or more processors to execute a client to receive a configuration update, generate a configuration file based on configuration input data included in the configuration update and configure the compute node based on the configuration file.

Abstract: A computer-readable medium comprises instructions which, upon execution by a node in a multi-node data processing system, enable the node to serve as a first leader node by receiving system log data from multiple compute nodes in a first cluster of the multi-node data processing system, and by saving the system log data in shared storage that is also used by second and third leader nodes to save system log data for compute nodes in second and third clusters of the multi-node data processing system. The instructions further enable the node to respond to failure of either of the second and third leader nodes by automatically assuming system logging duties for the compute nodes in the cluster that was associated with the failed leader node. The instructions may also enable the node to serve as a console bridge and to save console log data in the shared storage.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods for performing quantitative-trait loci (QTL) analysis in bacteria. The methods of the instant disclosure utilize multiple rounds of protoplast fusion-induced genomic recombination to break genetic linkages in bacterial genomes. The methods of the instant disclosure allow determining which genetic elements (QTL) are associated with phenotypic al features.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for prioritizing network traffic. In one aspect, a method includes collecting, for local networks, traffic data representing communication traffic over the local network for a period of time; determining, for each of the network devices included in the networks, a device type of the network device and at least one device priority value for the network device; training a device prioritization model, using the traffic data and the device priority values of the devices, receiving, by the device prioritization model, for a local network, a list of network devices that are included in the local network; and generating, by the device prioritization model, a prioritization scheme for the local network that prioritizes device traffic among the network devices based on the device types and device priority values of the network devices.

Abstract: A storage device coupleable to a structure includes a mounting plate and an external plate coupled to the mounting plate to define a receiving cavity. The storage device also includes a hinge plate received in the receiving cavity and coupled to the external plate, with the hinge plate pivotably moveable about a pivot axis between an open position and a closed position.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for instantiating a dialog process at a particular child node state. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request specifying a particular child node state of a dialog process, instantiating the dialog process at the root node state, providing input responses to the dialog process that cause the dialog process to traverse from the root node state to the particular child node state, where each input response is provided in response to an input request, and providing data that causes a user device to present the dialog process at the particular child node state.

Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a processor, an image creation tool, an operating system (OS) image repository and a secondary node interface. The processor has a first architecture and is in communication with the image creation tool, the OS image repository, and the secondary node interface. The image creation tool is to create an OS image for end nodes having the first architecture. The OS image repository is to store OS images. The secondary node shell is to provide an interface to a secondary node with a processor having a second architecture. An OS image for end nodes having the second architecture is created by the secondary node via the secondary node interface.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of producing plants with preferred levels of cell wall biosynthesis; and uses of such plants. The inventors have identified that the GFR9, CCoAOMT and MYB41 genes are major regulators of the cell wall biosynthesis pathway. Plants with modulated cell wall biosynthesis, based on modulation of the expression or activity of the GFR9, CCoAOMT and MYB41 genes, have divergent uses including pulp and paper production, and bioproduct production.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a guitar stand that includes a base, an upright support, and, optionally, a music holder. The top surface of the base may be at an inclined angle relative to a floor or surface on which the base (and guitar stand) is positioned. The top surface of the base is designed to receive, and make available for use, one or more effects pedals that a guitarist might choose to employ during a performance. The upright support, which is attached to the base at an inclined angle, is designed to hold two guitars. A music holder, if present, is attached to the end of the upright support opposite the support's attachment to the base, is designed to hold music, an electronic device for displaying information (e.g., music), or both.

Abstract: The disclosure describes a proxy server application that supports the dynamic modification of proxy rules implemented by a proxy server. The proxy rules implemented by the proxy server specify network behaviors to be performed at various points during the handling of requests from client applications. A proxy server implements the proxy rules by processing one or more user-generated network traffic filters for managing network traffic. In an embodiment, users generate network traffic filters by creating network traffic filter source code that specify processing steps to be performed by a proxy server relative to network messages the proxy server receives. In an embodiment, user-generated network traffic filters may be added, removed, reordered, or otherwise modified in a proxy server application at runtime in order to respond to current network conditions or to achieve other desired proxy configurations.
