Abstract: Some methods, computer program products, and data processing nodes identify a data unit in a data memory that is to be operated upon by a processor circuit, and uses a characteristic of the data unit to identify what instruction(s) within an instruction memory is be executed by the processor circuit to perform an operation upon the data unit. The data memory may be local to the processor circuit, and the instruction memory may be remotely accessible to the processor circuit through a data network.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a computer node that communicates a report message containing information to a social media server to cause publishing of the information to other computer nodes tracking publishing on the social media server by the computer node. The computer node receives a response message from one of the other computer nodes through the social media server, and operates based on the response message. Related embodiments are directed to another computer node that communicates with a social media server to track information published by report messages from other computer nodes, generates a response message based on the information published by one of the other computer nodes, and communicates the response message to the social media server to cause publishing of content of the response message to the other computer nodes.

Abstract: A cloud broker and procurement system and method is closed. In particular embodiments, the method includes receiving an offer of a computing resource from each of a plurality of providers. The method further includes receiving, from each of the plurality of providers, a service level agreement associated with each respective offered computing resource. Additionally, the method includes normalizing each of the service level agreements associated with the offered computing resources. The method further includes receiving a request from a requesting computer for a computing resource and selecting, based at least in part on the normalized service level agreements, one of the providers to provide the requested computing resource. The method also includes transmitting a service match indicator to the client, wherein the service match indicator indicates a time at which the offered computing resource will be utilized, and utilizing the computing resource on the selected provider.
