  • Patent number: 10904232
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to providing a booting key to a remote system. A policy server receives a verification that a predetermined number of user devices provided secret information for booting a remote system. The policy server provides, in response to the received verification, a message for a key server to provide a booting key to the remote system, the key server providing the booting key in response to the message and causing the remote system to complete a booting procedure, in response to the message from the policy server.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7991633
    Abstract: Increased efficiency and lower cost job scheduling is provided by a system and method that optimizes for cost instead of makespan, and minimizes fluctuations in resource utilization. A schedule is constructed using a workflow scheduling system that includes a load leveler, a cost minimizer, and a manpower planner. The load leveler minimizes makespan, subject to resource limits, and then lowers the resource limits, repeating the process in order to create a flatter schedule. The cost minimizer generates an initial solution, and then incrementally improves it, using the manpower planner to evaluate the different possible solutions. The manpower planner calculates, for a given schedule, the optimal hire/fire decisions to minimize total cost.
