  • Publication number: 20220374285
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may generate a migration assessment for resources of a computer system. In particular, the apparatus may logically divide topological information to facilitate identification of a resource, components used by the resource, and dependencies. The system further enables users to specify user-defined migration parameters that specify the migration. For instance, the parameters may specify a cost associated with the migration of the component, a license model of the component, a security requirement of the component, a performance of the component, a customization of the component, or requirement of the component. Migration assessments and decisions may be stored to train machine-learned models. For instance, the model may assess whether a parameter will be satisfied by using a certain cloud service and whether substitutes have sufficiently satisfied dependencies based on observed migration assessments and actual migrations.

  • Publication number: 20220366088
    Abstract: A copy of a blockchain is stored. The stored copy of the blockchain is copied from a blockchain in a distributed blockchain ledger. An event associated with the blockchain in the distributed ledger is identified. In response identifying the event associated with the blockchain in the distributed ledger, a compromise of the blockchain in the distributed ledger is identified, such as, identifying one or more blocks of the blockchain that have been compromised. In a second embodiment, a request to add a new block to a blockchain is identified. In response identifying the request to add the new block to the blockchain, a consensus vote to add the new block to the blockchain is monitored. A determination is made to determine if the consensus vote is below a threshold. In response to the consensus vote being below the threshold, an audit of the blockchain is completed.

  • Publication number: 20220360517
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may schedule virtual users in a load test of a system under test. An apparatus may access user-specified or prestored points. Each point may represent a number of virtual users that is to place a load on the system under test at a given time. The apparatus may apply curve fitting, such as Bézier curve fitting, to generate a curve on a graph in which one axis represents time and another axis represents a number of virtual users at a given time. In some examples, the apparatus may use a smoothing factor to adjust the contours of the generated curve. The apparatus may use the curve to determine curve-fitted points to schedule virtual users at times corresponding to the curve-fitted points. To instantiate the virtual users, the system may use coroutines to reduce computational requirements for instantiating the virtual users.

  • Patent number: 11487780
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium can store machine readable instructions that when accessed and executed by a processing resource cause a computing device to perform operations. The operations can include establishing a connection between data stores (such as a relational data store and a graph engine), wherein the connection includes a shared memory buffer storing data in a data format according to internal structures of the graph engine. The connection between the data stores is bi-directional. The connection enables data that is stored in the shared memory to be processed by either of the graph engine and the relational database. Upon receiving a query, the graph engine or the relational database can be selected to process the data based on a query. The data can be processed by the selected one of the graph engine or the relational database.

  • Patent number: 11463331
    Abstract: Network communication events are filtered to remove the network communication events having a predicted unrelatedness to beaconing. Each network communication event has a timestamp, a source entity, and a destination entity. The filtered network communication events are aggregated by unique source entity-destination entity pairs. For each unique source entity-destination entity pair, the network communication events are timestamp-sorted, time differentials between the timestamps of adjacent network communication events are calculated, and a beacon likelihood metric is calculated from the calculated time differentials. Which of the unique source entity-destination entity pairs are indicative of beaconing are identified based on the beacon likelihood metric calculated for each unique source entity-destination entity pair.
