  • Patent number: 12210903
    Abstract: In an approach, a processor indexes system documents of a computer system using a text search engine, resulting in a search index, where the computer system is described by a set of system parameters with values stored in the system documents. A processor provides a set of scheduling rules for allocating computing resources of the computer system, each scheduling rule comprising a search query referencing one or more of the system parameters. A processor executes search queries by the text search engine against the search index, resulting in scored system documents and associated search queries. A processor ranks at least part of the set of scheduling rules using scores of the associated search queries. A processor selects scheduling rules in accordance with the ranking. A processor executes the selected scheduling rules for scheduling a workload on the computer system.

  • Patent number: 12189489
    Abstract: Embodiments automate the timely remediation of issues by matching failed operations to a script or set of scripts that is configured to fix the problem. A method detects a backup operation alert message sent from a data manager or storage system that encodes one or more attributes affected by the backup operation, wherein the attributes are weighted to reflect a percentage importance of the a corresponding script to fix the problem. A script library is scanned to identify scripts that match the alert message. A component generates a score for each script, where the score factors the relevance of the script to the backup operation based on the weighted attributes. Scores for each single script each possible combination of multiple scripts are computed and compared, and the script or script combination with the highest score is executed by the self-healing process.

  • Patent number: 12182148
    Abstract: A computing system includes a processor and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform acts. The acts include receiving a query provided by a user. The acts additionally include determining that the query is related to a comparison between entities. Based upon the determining that the query is related to the comparison between entities, the computing system generates a prompt that is to be input to a generative language model, where the prompt includes: 1) an instruction for the generative language model to generate a table based upon the query; and 2) attribute values for entities identified by a search system based upon the query. The acts also include providing the prompt as input to the generative language model, where the generative language model generates a table based upon the prompt, and further where the table includes the attribute values for the entities.

  • Patent number: 12169477
    Abstract: A method and system for deduplication caching using an unreliable edge resource include acquiring a total storage capacity of all edge servers, searching for candidate cache files by a similarity-based hierarchical clustering (SHC) method, and acquiring file clusters of all the candidate cache files after clustering, where the candidate cache files each include a deduplicated data chunk, and based on the file clusters and an reliability of all of the edge servers, selecting, by a heuristic algorithm, a file cluster from the file clusters to cache to the edge server until a size of cached content reaches the total storage capacity. The present disclosure makes a trade-off between file availability and space efficiency, thereby effectively improving the cache hit rate in the limited edge caching space.

  • Patent number: 12153548
    Abstract: Arrangements for controlling data relations and data redundancies are presented. In some aspects, data may be received from a plurality of sources. The data may then be analyzed to determine a score or value associated with the data. Machine learning may be used to analyze the data and/or determine the score associated with the data. In some examples, a type of data may be identified. Based on the type of data, and the data, one or more connections to other data or types of data may be identified. In some examples, the data, as well as any identified connections, any determined score, and the like may be stored in a data container associated with the identified type of data. Stored data may be analyzed to determine whether one or more redundancies exist. If one or more redundancies are identified, one or more data redundancy actions may be identified and executed.

  • Patent number: 12153496
    Abstract: A data management system manages concurrent readers and writers for large file scans. The data management system may read a plurality of data chucks of the file starting from different offsets and generate a bounded number of read requests, which causes a data chuck identifiable by a data offset to be loaded into a data buffer. The system may queue the loaded data chucks for generating write requests to release the loaded data chunks. One or more write requests are generated responsive to one or more data chunks being associated with a consecutive order of data offsets being successfully loaded to data buffers. The system may write data chucks released from the buffer-rounded reading stage to the data storage in a checkpointed writing stage. The checkpointed writing stage creates a checkpoint based on the data offset of the data chucks that have been completely transferred to the data storage.
