Abstract: A system and method are provided for operating a pool of workers within a distributed computing system, wherein each of multiple computers host one or more workers. Each computer also hosts ledgers for one or more originators of tasks that are submitted to the pool for processing. A ledger identifies tasks from the corresponding originator that have been submitted to the pool and that have not yet been completed. When an originator submits a new task, the system (e.g., a coordinator) identifies a maximum number of concurrent tasks permitted the originator and determines, with reference to the originator's ledger, whether the task can be submitted to the pool without exceeding the limit. If so, the task is assigned to an idle worker (if any) and is added to the originator's ledger. After completion, the task is removed from the ledger. Obsolete or stale entries are periodically purged from originators' ledgers.

Abstract: A system and method for recommending computing resources for processing jobs in a distributed computing environment with multiple heterogeneous computing resources are disclosed. Training applications or jobs are executed and measured on different computing resources and on different configurations of the computing resources to establish a database of performance metrics. A matrix of application features and computing resource features is created and populated with performance data. Machine learning may be used to create and update multiple recommendation engines based on the matrix that are cross-validated and merged to form final performance estimators. The performance estimators are applied to new applications and determine which existing applications are most similar and which resources to recommend.

Abstract: A system and method for processing application performance using application phase differentiation and detection is disclosed. Phase detection may be accomplished in a number of different ways, including by using a deterministic algorithm that looks for changes in the computing resource utilization patterns (as detected in the performance data collected). Machine learning (ML) and neural networks (e.g. sparse auto encoder SAE) may also be used. Performance data is aggregated according to phase and stored in a database along with additional application and computing system information. This database may then be used to find similar applications for performance prediction.

The shell of each extension includes an invariant portion and a modular portion located in front of the invariant portion. The modular portion making it possible during the fastening thereof to the invariant portion to obtain an extension with a length that can be modified between the opening and the bottom of the shell and, a width of passage towards the aisle between the seats and the extensions of the units is maintained constant during the use of the extensions by the passengers.

Abstract: An improved system and method for characterizing application performance are disclosed. The system may comprise a profiling module and a web service module. The profiling module may be configured to prompt the user to select a public mode or a private mode and specify software and hardware targets for profiling. Test results from profiling may be combined with historical data obtained from a web service module providing access to a database of historical profiling test results to create recommendations for improving performance. The profiling module may upload the test-generated data in public mode to the web service module for use in future execution cycles or keep them private if in private mode.

Abstract: A system and method for ranking computing resources in a distributed computing marketplace is disclosed. Ranking may be based on the performance factors that the system predicts will have the greatest impact on the particular application the user plans to run. A performance database stores historical performance data for applications that have been executed on multiple different computer systems. The database is checked to see if the application, or one similar, has already been run on any of the computing systems participating in the distributed computing marketplace. If so, the existing performance data is used to predict which performance factors will have the greatest impact on the application. Those factors are then used to rank the available computing systems options for the user.
