Abstract: Business transactions and the nodes processing the transactions may be monitored. Actions may be applied to one or more nodes when a performance issue is detected. A performance issue may relate to a metric associated with a transaction or node that processes the transaction. If a performance metric does not satisfy a health rule, the policy determines which action should be performed to correct the performance of the node. The corrective action may be applied to a node other than the node at which the performance metric is associated with. For example, if a performance metric for a first node does not satisfy a threshold, the corrective action may be applied to a second node. When a solution applied to a second node is found to correct the problem in first node, the solution may be applied to the other nodes experiencing the same problem.

Abstract: Void formation in tungsten lines in a three-dimensional memory device can be prevented by providing polycrystalline aluminum oxide liners in portions of lateral recesses that are laterally spaced from backside trenches by a distance grater than a predefined lateral offset distance. Tungsten nucleates on the polycrystalline aluminum oxide liners prior to nucleating on a metallic liner layer. Thus, tungsten layers can be deposited from the center portion of each backside recess, and the growth of tungsten can proceed toward the backside trenches. By forming the tungsten layers without voids, structural integrity of the three-dimensional memory device can be enhanced.

Abstract: Business transactions and the nodes processing the transactions are monitored and actions are applied to one or more nodes when a performance issue is detected. A performance issue may relate to a metric associated with a transaction or node that processes the transaction. If a performance metric determined from data captured by monitoring does not satisfy a health rule, the policy determines which action should be performed to correct the performance of the node. When a problem is detected for multiple nodes, the present technology may address a subset of the multiple nodes rather than apply an action to each node experiencing the problem. When a solution is found to correct the problem with the subset of nodes, the solution may be applied to the other nodes experiencing the same problem.
