  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADAPTIVE PREFETCHING
    Publication number: 20160164998
    Abstract: A cache server prefetches one or more web pages from an origin server prior to those web pages being requested by a user. The cache server determines which web pages to prefetch based on a graph associated with a prefetch module associated with the cache server. The graph represents all or a portion of the web pages at the origin server using one or more nodes and one or more links connecting the nodes. Each link has an associated transaction weight and user weight. The transaction weight represents the importance of the link and associated web page to the origin server and may be used to control the prefetching of web pages by the cache server. The user weight may be used to change a priority associated with a request for a web page. The user weight and transaction weight may change based on criteria associated with the origin server.

  • Method and system for file data management in virtual environment
    Patent number: 9348819
    Abstract: A method and system for archiving file data used by a virtual container. The container uses “real files” and “balloon” files. The “real files” are the container file system files that are mapped to corresponding blocks of the host file system. The “real files” are mapped upon creation. The “balloon” files are also created in the container file system, but any links to the blocks of the host file system are invalidated (mapping is removed) and the blocks of the host file system corresponding to a balloon file are marked as free. A hypervisor, a host OS or a Virtual Machine Monitor frees up real physical blocks completely, so these blocks become available for writes in the host file system. Thus, all references indicating that these blocks are occupied are removed.

  • Method for targeted resource virtualization in containers
    Patent number: 9348622
    Abstract: A method and computer program product for targeted container virtualization, where only separate components of a computer system or a server are virtualized. The OS kernel and other server resources are not virtualized. Only selected components—applications or resources are targeted for virtualization instead of virtualization of the entire system. Targeted virtualization provides for more flexible container isolation from each other and from a host node. This, in turn, provides for optimized more flexible cloud infrastructure. Each element within a container virtualization model is optional in terms of virtualization. The element's virtualization option can be turned on and off by an administrator or by a client who owns the container.

  • Hardware dedication for virtual machines and virtual environments
    Patent number: 9342347
    Abstract: A system and method for implementing direct attachment of VMs, implemented on a computer system, to hardware devices attached to the computer system. Direct attachment architecture is implemented. The direct attachment is an exclusive dedication of a hardware device to a VM, where a particular hardware device is assigned to a particular VM. When the VM is not activated, the hardware device can be re-assigned to another VM. At system start up, hardware devices are masked from a host OS of a computer system and are automatically attached to the assigned VMs.

  • Seamless integration of non-native windows with dynamically scalable resolution into host operating system
    Patent number: 9317195
    Abstract: A method for displaying non-native application windows on a computing system that has the host OS and a host desktop, the method including displaying the host desktop; upon a user invoking the non-native application by selecting an object associated with the non-native user application in the host OS, launching the non-native application on a server, wherein the non-native application is incompatible with the host OS and cannot execute under the host OS; and displaying the non-native application in a non-native application window on the computing system on the host OS desktop. The non-native application window has a native look-and-feel of the host OS, and control elements of the non-native application window appear native. Objects within the non-native application window can be drag-and-dropped to the host OS desktop as if they were native objects of the host OS.

  • Using master file template area to increase density of virtual machines in a computer system
    Patent number: 9286098
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for managing files of Virtual Machines, including launching a plurality of Virtual Machines in a computing system having a host OS. Content of at least one file of the host OS is used as a shared file. Using a re-direct, access is provided to the shared file when any Virtual Machine attempts to access its private file; using copy-on-write, a copy is made of the shared file if the Virtual Machine attempts to modify the shared file, and placed in a private area of the corresponding Virtual Machine. One of the Virtual Machines is used as master template, and includes shareable files to which attempts to access the file by other Virtual Machines are redirected. Access to the shared file from the Virtual Machine is implemented using stub files.

  • Common file caching for virtual private servers
    Patent number: 9286310
    Abstract: A host runs an operating system kernel. A plurality of virtual private servers (containers) is supported within the kernel. The containers use the same files. A template cache has pre-calculated file checksums. The checksum is calculated each time the file is created and/or modified. Each file has an inode containing an attribute indicating whether the checksum is calculated and stored along with the file. If the checksum is present, the process is redirected to access the file with the same inode in the shared disk cache.

  • System and method for cache management in systems that interface to cloud storage
    Patent number: 9274958
    Abstract: A method and a system for cache management in system interfacing to a cloud storage. The cache has two layers: the filter layer for tracing read access to the data blocks and the cache layer for keeping the actual data blocks. The layer two consists of two modules—a main cache and a boot cache. The boot cache is filled during the short period of time after the first file open operation. The boot cache also has a limit on the amount of data that can be put into the cache for the particular file. The filter layer detects continuous read access pattern and avoids caching data, if the data is read continuously beyond some limit.

  • Method for web site publishing using shared hosting
    Patent number: 9274867
    Abstract: A method for publishing the web sites on remote server using shared hosting in cases of unexpected server timeouts. A list of elements (work items) to be published is generated. The list is sorted out according to dependencies of elements from one another. Then, the work items are sorted out by the priority. The work item from the top of the list (with the highest priority) is processed first. After the work is performed with this work item, the work item is marked as closed if the process has executed successfully. Then, the process moves to the next work item and so on. The process has a library of the work items. Thus, in case of a server timeout, the process knows exactly which work items have been processed prior to the timeout and can start the processing from the next work item.

  • Thin hypervisor for native execution of unsafe code
    Patent number: 9274823
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for implementing a thin hypervisor. The thin hypervisor does not have any association with a VM. The thin hypervisor serves as a wrapper over hardware capabilities of a processor. The processor has privileged low-level capabilities EPT VTX, AMD V and the ARM has virtualization technology. In order to use processor hardware capabilities and receiving root privileges, the system operates in a “super user” mode. The VM operates in a VM environment with kernel privileges in a user mode. A super user space is created in a safe mode. A user space application (or a process) is created. A user space virtualization framework library is used. These entities are separated by a user space and a kernel space. A thin hypervisor is implemented in the user space.
