  • Patent number: 11388237
    Abstract: Preprocessing of data destined for storage in a data lake is accomplished upstream, such as at edge nodes. The preprocessing includes filtering data that is deemed to be unnecessary for subsequent analytical use purposes. An initial intelligent determination is performed on whether a data feed is to be preprocessed at (i) the data lake, or (ii) upstream of the data lake, such as at an edge node. Once upstream preprocessing has been determined, an intelligent determination of which edge node is to be chosen for preprocessing is performed. The determination on which edge node is to be chosen for preprocessing is based on response times between the application server and the edge nodes and network bandwidth usage encountered by the network transmitting the data feed.

  • Patent number: 11363099
    Abstract: Messaging systems and methods for routing messages between network nodes of a distributed computing system are disclosed. The messaging system includes a plurality of network nodes. Each network node includes a shared memory comprising a shared memory region configured to store messages, a publisher, and a first bridge module. The first bridge module determines if a subscriber for a shared memory region of that network node exists on a remote network node, where the remote network node does not include the publisher. Upon determining that the subscriber exists on the remote network node, the first bridging module reads a plurality of messages from the shared memory region, and transmits the plurality of messages to a second bridge module of the remote network node. The second bridge module is configured to write the plurality of messages to a remote memory region on the remote network node.

  • Patent number: 11269688
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards automatically scaling distributed computing resources of a distributed computing system based on a system load measurement and a trend factor indicative of whether the system load is increasing or decreasing. If a computing resource load value is above a resource addition threshold value and the trend factor indicates that the computing resource load is increasing, a corresponding computing resource is added to the distributed computing system. If a computing resource load value is below a resource removal threshold value and the trend factor indicates that the computing resource load is decreasing, a corresponding computing resource is removed from the distributed computing system. The trend factor can be obtained using a moving average convergence divergence (MACD) direction indicator.

  • Patent number: 11271895
    Abstract: A KUBERNETES installation processes a script and invokes a scheduling agent in response to encountering an instruction to create a pod. The scheduling agent is an agent of an orchestrator and performs tasks such as identifying a selected node, creating multiple interface objects with multiple IP addresses, and creating storage volumes in coordination with the orchestrator. Upon creation, the pod may call a CNI that is an agent of the orchestrator in order to configure the pod to use the multiple interface objects. The pod may call a CSI that is an agent of the orchestrator in order to bind a storage volume to the pod. The scheduling agent may coordinate with the orchestrator to implement affinity and anti-affinity rules for placement of pods and storage volumes. The script may also be transformed by the orchestrator in order to insert instructions implementing affinity and ant-affinity rules.
