  • Patent number: 11809915
    Abstract: A parallel processing technique can be used to expedite reconciliation of a hierarchy of forecasts on a computer system. As one example, the computer system can receive forecasts that have a hierarchical relationship with respect to one another. The computer system can distribute the forecasts among a group of computing nodes by time point, so that all data points corresponding to the same time point in the forecasts are assigned to the same computing node. The computing nodes can receive the datasets corresponding to the time points, organize the data points in each of the datasets by forecast to generate ordered datasets, and assign the ordered datasets to processing threads. The processing threads (across the computing nodes) can then execute a reconciliation process in parallel to one another to generate reconciled values, which can be output by the computing nodes.

A computing platform may initialize at least two processing workers. Subsequently, the computing platform may cause a first processing worker to perform a first query on a work queue database and initiate parallel processing of a first set of work items. Thereafter, the computing platform may cause the second processing worker to perform a second query on the work queue database and initiate parallel processing of a second set of work items. In some instances, performing the second query on the work queue database comprises reading at least one work item that was read and locked by the first processing worker.

  • Patent number: 11768714
    Abstract: Hardware semaphores are utilized to increase the speed with which preconditions are evaluated. On an individual basis, each hardware semaphore can implement a binary semaphore or a counting semaphore. Collections of hardware semaphores can be chained together to implement a chain semaphore that can support multiple conditionals. In addition, hardware semaphores can have the capability, not only of generating an interrupt, but, in addition, being able to generate commands, such as to other semaphores. The implementation of a chain semaphore spanning multiple hardware semaphores can be performed by a compiler at compile time or at run time. An integrated circuit chip can comprise multiple execution units, such as processing cores, and individual ones of the execution units can be associated with multiple hardware semaphores, such as in the form of hardware semaphore arrays. A dedicated network-on-chip enables hardware semaphore communication.

  • Patent number: 11768704
    Abstract: Systems and methods for intelligently scheduling a pod in a cluster of worker nodes are described. A scheduling service may account for previous scheduling attempts by considering the time and node (scheduling data) on which a preceding attempt to schedule a node were made, and factoring this information into the scheduling decision. Upon making a determination of a node on which to attempt to schedule the pod, the scheduling data may be updated with the time and node ID of the determined node and the pod may be scheduled on the determined node. In response to determining that the pod has been evicted from the determined node, the above process may continue iteratively until the pod has been successfully scheduled.
