Publication number: 20240004680Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for CPU core off-parking. In one example implementation, a performance test is executed for a CPU core that is part of a first mapping of virtual processors to logical CPU cores. A set of performance indicators is received for the CPU core. Based on the set of performance indicators, a determination is made regarding whether to off-park the CPU core. If it is determined that the CPU core is to be off-parked, a second mapping of virtual processors to logical CPU cores is created, where the CPU core to be off-parked is not part of the second mapping. The second mapping is then implemented.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2022Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Peter JIANG, Drew CROSS, Taylor Marie POTHAST, Bruce J.

Publication number: 20240004847Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for improving anomaly detection in timeseries datasets. Different machine learning models may be trained to process specific types of timeseries data efficiently and accurately. Thus, selecting a proper machine learning model for identifying anomalies in a specific set of timeseries data may greatly improve accuracy and efficiency of anomaly detection. Another way to improve anomaly detection is to process a multitude of timeseries datasets for a time period (e.g., 90 days) to detect anomalies from those timeseries datasets and then correlate those detected anomalies by generating an anomaly timeseries dataset and identifying anomalies within the anomaly timeseries dataset. Yet another way to improve anomaly detection is to divide a dataset into multiple datasets based on a type of anomaly detection requested.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Vannia GONZALEZ MACIAS, Scott GARCIA, Peter TERRANA
