  • Patent number: 9967146
    Abstract: A method and system are provided. The system includes a network configurator for configuring a network as a backplane of the system to optimize throughput rate and minimize latency across a plurality of subsystems that are cloud-based and that form the system. The plurality of subsystems includes hardware and software subsystems. The system further includes a composable system building block configurator for refactoring, based on a disaggregated system principle, the plurality of subsystems to use the network to communicate as a single system. The system also includes a system resource multidimensional model generator for generating a multidimensional optimization model that models the composable system building blocks as resources having adjustable parameters in a multidimensional parameter space.

  • Patent number: 9043612
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for protecting visible data during computerized process usage. Specifically, in a typical embodiment, when a computerized process is identified, a physical page key (PPK) is generated (e.g., a unique PPK may be generated for each page of data) and stored in at least one table. Based on the PPK a virtual page key (VPK) is generated and stored in at least one register. When the process is later implemented, and a request to access a set of data associated the process is received, it will be determined whether the VPK is valid (based on the PPK). Based on the results of this determination, a data access determination is made.
