Abstract: A method for monitoring crop health of a geographic region includes receiving an image comprising a set of image elements, the image corresponding to a time unit, mapping an image element of the set of image elements to a geographic sub-region of the geographic region, determining a geographic region performance value for the image element, determining a geographic region performance value change, and identifying a crop health anomaly based on the geographic region performance change and an expected geographic region performance value change. Determining the geographic region performance value for the image element can include determining a vegetative performance value for the image element, mapping the image element to a crop type, and normalizing the vegetative performance value.

Abstract: A method for measuring performance of a geographic region from an image including a set of image elements includes: receiving the image corresponding to a time unit, generating a geographic region performance map for the image, combining the geographic region performance map with a second geographic region performance map, and generating a geographic region performance summary map. Generating the geographic region performance map for the image can include mapping a set of image elements to a set of geographic sub-regions, generating a set of vegetative performance values for the set of image elements, mapping the set of image elements to a set of crop types, defining a subset of image elements corresponding to a subset of vegetative performance values, comparing vegetative performance values of the subset of vegetative performance values, and generating geographic region performance values for the subset of image elements.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for writing to a software bound ring buffer. A network adapter may determine that data is available to write to the software bound ring buffer. The network adapter determines that a read index is not equal to a write index, responsive to a determination that data is available to write to the software bound ring buffer. The network adapter writes the data to memory referenced by the hardware write index, wherein memory referenced by the write index is offset according to an offset, and the memory contents comprise a data portion and a valid bit. The network adapter writes an epoch value of the write index to the valid bit. The network adapter increments the write index, responsive to writing the data to memory referenced by the write index. Further disclosed is method to access a hardware bound ring buffer.

Abstract: Systems and methods of deploying one or more software components to a target computer infrastructure are disclosed. A descriptor file that declares a desired state of one or more target computing devices of a target computer infrastructure is parsed. A live state of the one or more target computing devices is obtained. A set of target computing devices having the live state different from the desired state is identified. A plan script that includes deployment commands configured to deploy one or more software components to each computing device is generated. The plan script can be optimized such that when executed the software components are deployed with higher efficiency, system stability, minimum downtime, etc.
