  • Patent number: 11474877
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a computer system and a scale-out method of the computer system that can reduce the possibility of occurrence of performance deterioration in the case where cloud bursting is executed. In the case where scale-out is executed in a public cloud, a data processing system starts a data copy process of copying data stored in an on-premises first data storage area, to a second data storage area of a storage cluster in the public cloud via a first network. When starting the data copy process, the data processing system executes the scale-out by increasing the number of processing nodes while accessing the data stored in the first data storage area.

  • Patent number: 11388048
    Abstract: Visibility of relevance of detailed configurations is improved while deterioration of the visibility of a general configuration between nodes is suppressed. A node coordinate calculation process calculates, upon calculation of deployment coordinates of each node, a degree of importance of an infrastructure resource and a degree of importance of an application, and weights the distance between the application node and the infrastructure node with the reciprocal of the degree of importance of the infrastructure node. Then, the node coordinate calculation process determines deployment of the application node such that the application node is deployed in the proximity of a comparatively important infrastructure node, and determines deployment of the application node on the basis of the degrees of importance of the applications such that a comparatively important application is deployed closely to the infrastructure node.

  • Patent number: 11280989
    Abstract: A system includes an imaging optical system that forms an optical image of an observed object; a control apparatus that switches between a superresolution observation mode and a normal observation mode; and a rotatable disk located at a position conjugate to a front focal position of the imaging optical system and having a plurality of apertures. The imaging optical system changes a projection magnification of an intermediate image that is a point image of a portion of the observed object that is formed on the disk. The control apparatus sets, during the superresolution observation mode, the projection magnification in a manner such that the intermediate image becomes at least twice as large as the apertures and sets, during the normal observation mode, the projection magnification in a manner such that the projection magnification becomes lower than the projection magnification in the superresolution observation mode.
