Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for automating a system-level security review of a network-based service. The techniques may include generating and utilizing a machine-readable threat model to identify system-level security threats to the network-based service. The network-based service may be scanned upon being provisioned in a service-provider network, and the machine-readable threat model may be generated based on results of the scan. The machine-readable threat model may represent components of the network-based service, system-level security constraints configured to identify system-level security threats to the service, and mitigations to remedy violations to the system-level security constraints. The network-based service may be continuously, or periodically, scanned to identify changes in the network-based service.

Abstract: A network-based virtual computing resource provider may offer virtual compute instances that implement rolling resource credits for scheduling virtual computing resources. Work requests for a virtual compute instance may be received at a virtualization manager. A resource credit balance may be determined for the virtual compute instance. The resource credit balance may accumulate resource credits in rolling fashion, carrying over unused credits from previous time periods. Resource credits may then be applied when generating scheduling instructions to provide to a physical resource to perform the work requests, such as a physical CPU in order to increase the utilization of the resource according to the number of credits applied. Applied resource credits may then be deducted from the credit balance.

Abstract: A system provides on a computer display screen, a graphical image of an initial parsing as generated by a computerized algorithm. Individual clauses are encased in expandable graphical elements that a human user can manipulate on the display screen using an input device in furtherance of improving the initial parsing. The expandable graphical elements have particular spatial and visual interrelationships in keeping with the initial text parsing, human user interactions with the expandable graphic elements captured so as to convert the human-based interactions with these graphical elements into additional machine-readable text and mark-up that can be usable for other machine-based text processes. The system, in addition to being a parsed text/editor interface, thereby functions as an intuitive, visual conduit for dynamic human-machine text analysis collaboration.

Abstract: The perceivability of user interface elements of a graphical user interface can be defined as a selection along a range. At one end of the range, a combination of settings for the graphical user interface allows for a highly-detailed user interface; at another end of the range, a combination of settings provides a graphical user interface having the highest perceivability. The high perceivability may include high contrast, but also may provide other user interface settings to address accessibility issues for an end user. The combination of settings can include attributes affecting the background, transparency, borders and text legibility. The selected combination of settings either sets, overrides or limits values for these attributes of user interface elements during rendering.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for tuning the voltages of a circuit for reading a memory cell capable of storing three or more logic states. To read the memory cell, a charge may be transferred between a digit line and a sense component using a charge transfer device. The gate of the charge transfer device may initially be biased to a first voltage and subsequently tuned to a second voltage to optimize the sense window. After biasing the gate of the charge transfer device to the second voltage, the memory cell may discharge its charge onto the digit line, which may result in the digit line being biased to a third voltage. Based on whether the third voltage exceeds the second voltage, the charge transfer device may transfer the charge associated with the memory cell.

Abstract: A GPU performs dynamic power level management by switching between pre-defined power levels having distinct clock and voltage levels. The dynamic power level management includes identifying a first performance metric associated with processing workloads at the for a consecutive number of measurement cycles. In some embodiments, the consecutive number of measurement cycles includes a current measurement cycle and at least one previous measurement cycle. Based on a determination that the consecutive number of measurement cycles exceeds a minimum hysteresis number, an estimated optimization is determined to be applied to the GPU for a future measurement cycle. A power level setting at the GPU for the future measurement cycle is adjusted based on the estimated optimization. By considering performance metrics including, for example, different processing workloads and hardware configurations, the GPU is able to dynamically adapt its power settings to the particular workload that it is currently processing.
