  • Patent number: 11809304
    Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for determining whether a detected issue in a computing system is a bug introduced by a developer or an intermittent issue. When an issue is detected, information about the issue is received. A determination is then made as to whether the issue is a new issue or whether it has been previously detected. When it is determined that the issue is a new issue, information about the issue is stored in a storage device. A feature vector is generated for the issue and is analyzed to determine a probability that the issue is a bug. When it is determined that the issue is a bug, the occurrence of the issue is reported to a user of the system that can correct the bug. Once the bug is corrected, the correction is provided back to the system and is used to train the system.

  • Patent number: 11775377
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a client device having a digital signature. The client device includes processing circuitry configured to send a message to be stored in nodes after the nodes reach a consensus on the message. The message includes the digital signature of the client device. The processing circuitry obtains results from a subset of the nodes that receive the message. The results have respective digital signatures of the subset of the nodes. The nodes are in a first consensus mode for reaching the consensus on the message. After verifying the digital signatures, the processing circuitry determines whether one or more of the nodes has malfunctioned based on the results. Based on a determination that the one or more of the nodes has malfunctioned, the processing circuitry triggers the nodes to switch from the first consensus mode to a second consensus mode for reaching the consensus on the message.

  • Patent number: 11768747
    Abstract: The system determines data which indicate memory usage by a process and information related to a number of instances of the process. The system determines for the process: a first average amount of memory; a first standard deviation; a first value indicating a difference between a current amount of memory used by the process and the first average amount; a second average number of process instances; a second standard deviation; and a second value indicating a difference between a current number of process instances and the second average number. The system performs a corrective action to address a memory spike associated with the process responsive to comparing at least one of: the current amount of memory used by the process with a watermark; the first value with the first standard deviation scaled; the current number of instances with a watermark; and the second value with the second standard deviation scaled.

  • Patent number: 11727305
    Abstract: The present disclosure is for systems and methods for connecting offline machine learning training systems with online near-real time machine learning scoring systems. It is not trivial to connect an offline training environment with an online scoring environment. For example, offline training environments are usually static and contain large amounts of historical data that is needed for the initial training of models. Once trained, the model algorithms are then migrated into an online scoring environment for transactional or event based scoring. This migration effectively breaks the connection between the data in the offline environment and the model now running in the online environment. When new or shifting data occurs in the online environment, the static model running in the online environment goes unaltered to the changing inputs. The present disclosure solves the issues that are caused by the break in the offline and online environments.

  • Patent number: 11720471
    Abstract: A computer system determines stack usage. An intercept function is executed to store a stack marker in a stack, wherein the intercept function is invoked when a program enters or exits each function of a plurality of functions of the program. A plurality of stack markers are identified in the stack and a memory address is determined for each stack marker during execution of the program to obtain a plurality of memory addresses. The plurality of memory addresses are analyzed to identify a particular memory address associated with a greatest stack depth. A stack usage of the program is determined based on the greatest stack depth. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for determining stack usage in substantially the same manner described above.

  • Patent number: 11693732
    Abstract: A storage device includes a memory storage region and a controller having a processor. The processor retrieves user data from the memory storage region using a physical block address corresponding to a logical block address (LBA), in response to a read command. The retrieved user data includes a first hash received through a host interface in a prior host data transmission. The processor further performs error correction on the user data to generate error-corrected user data. The processor further causes a cryptographic engine to produce a second hash of the error-corrected user data. The first hash is compared to the second hash associated with the error-corrected user data to determine a match result. A notification is generated in response to the match result.

  • Patent number: 11693739
    Abstract: Detecting non-callable external component APIs is provided. It is determined whether a first function call stack of a worker thread in a multi-threaded application of the computer matches a second function call stack of the worker thread. In response to determining that the first function call stack matches the second function call stack of the worker thread, an external component application programming interface (API) corresponding to the worker thread is identified from a function call stack of the worker thread. The external component API corresponding to the worker thread is marked as non-callable in an API state map. The worker thread is marked as being in a hang state. The worker thread in the hang state is terminated as a remediation action step to maintain performance.
