  • Patent number: 11579848
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a real-time event is detected and context is determined based on the real-time event. An application model is fetched based on the context and meta-data associated with the real-time event, the application model referencing a micro-function and including pre-condition and post-condition descriptors. A graph is constructed based on the micro-function. The micro-function is transformed into micro-capabilities by determining a computing resource for execution of a micro-capability by matching pre-conditions and post-conditions of the micro-capability, and enabling execution and configuration of the micro-capability on the computing resource by providing access in a target environment to an API capable of calling the micro-capability to configure and execute the micro-capability. A request is received from the target environment to execute and configure the micro-capability on the computing resource.

  • Patent number: 11568242
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to an intelligent computer platform to multi-dimensionally optimize device operation. Static hardware device data are acquired and dynamic hardware characteristic data are tracked over one or more temporal segments. A neural model (NM) is trained with corresponding device and network data. The acquired static and dynamic data are input into the NM, and locale processing patterns corresponding to the inputted data are identified. One or more data points and corresponding measurements of the tracked dynamic hardware characteristic data are temporally analyzed. A processing locale corresponding to the temporal analysis is identified and returned as output data, and one or more encoded actions in compliance with the identified processing locale are selectively implemented.

  • Patent number: 11567735
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method that supports queries deploying operators based on multiple programming languages is described. A sequence of operators associated with a query is identified, where the sequence of operators includes at least two neighboring operators including a first operator based on a first programming language and a second operator based on a second programming language that is different from the first programming language. Thereafter, a schema associated with the first operator and a schema associated with the second operator is determined along with the compatibility between the schema of the first operator and the schema of the second operator. A query error message is generated in response to incompatibility between the first operator schema and the second operator schema. Compatibility is determined when an output generated by execution of the first operator provides machine data needed as input for execution of the second operator.
