  • Dynamic tuning of computing systems
    Patent number: 8578180
    Abstract: Some embodiments of a system and a method to dynamically tune a computing system have been presented. In one embodiment, a processing device running in a computing system monitors usage of one or more hardware components of the computing system to determine a load on each hardware component. The processing device may tune each hardware component based on the load of a respective hardware component determined, and a respective weight associated with the respective hardware component. The hardware components may be tuned to reduce power consumption or to improve performance of the computing system.
    Type: Grant

  • Dynamic memory allocation for applications
    Patent number: 8296542
    Abstract: Some embodiments of a system and a method to dynamically allocate memory to applications have been presented. For instance, an application interface executing on a processing device running in a computing system receives a request from an application running on the processing device for a predetermined capacity of memory. A kernel running on the processing device may allocate one or more consecutive heaps of memory to the application in response to the request. A total capacity of the heaps allocated is at least the predetermined capacity requested.
