  • Patent number: 11048620
    Abstract: Aspects capture test coverage in a distributed system, wherein a processor instigates execution of a unique hypertext transfer request protocol test case within a distributed system of different, networked servers. The header of the unique test case includes a unique name for the unique test case, and the distributed system servers are each configured to, in response to processing a test case, generate a time-stamped log entry that includes header data for the processed test case and a uniform resource locator address of the processing server. The processor thus maps the unique test case to a subset of the distributed system servers as endpoint servers of the unique test case, in response to determining that the uniform resource locator addresses of each of the subset endpoint servers are listed within generated log entries of the endpoint servers in association with the unique test case name.

  • Patent number: 11048577
    Abstract: A processor may identify, using historical data, an amount of computing resources consumed to remedy the failure with an automatic remedy step. The processor may determine that the amount of consumed computing resources to remedy the failure is less than an amount of computing resources consumed by restarting the process. The processor may perform the automatic remedy step. The processor may identify that the automatic remedy step has failed. The processor may determine a waiting period based on an estimated time to receive a user response to the failure and an estimated load on the computing cluster. The processor may display a generated alert to a user during the waiting period. The processor may identify that no user input has been received during the waiting period. The processor may release computing resources corresponding to the process.

  • Patent number: 11030037
    Abstract: Disclosed are hardware and techniques for correcting computer process faults by identifying risk associated with correcting a computer process fault and computer processes that may depend on the corrected computer process. The interdependent computer processes in a network may be determined by evaluating a stream of process break flags from a monitoring component coupled to the network. Each computer process break flag in the stream of computer process break flags indicates a process fault detected by the monitoring component and is correlated to a corrective response. The break flag and the corrective response are assigned a risk. A risk matrix accounts for interdependencies between computer processes and identified corrective actions. A final response strategy that corrects the computer process faults is determined using the assigned risk and computer system interdependence.

    Abstract: One embodiment provides an apparatus. The apparatus includes a linear address space, metadata logic and enhanced address space layout randomization (ASLR) logic. The linear address space includes a metadata data structure. The metadata logic is to generate a metadata value. The enhanced ASLR logic is to combine the metadata value and a linear address into an address pointer and to store the metadata value to the metadata data structure at a location pointed to by a least a portion of the linear address. The address pointer corresponds to an apparent address in an enhanced address space. A size of the enhanced address space is greater than a size of the linear address space.

  • Patent number: 10963355
    Abstract: A system and method for automatic and dynamic virtual machine (VM) group membership adjustment to identify and maintain VM groupings for maintaining a data consistency and availability at a computer recovery site in response to a disaster event. Based on a hybrid approach of network and storage analytics using cognitive methods, the system automatically groups the VMs based on patterns of data exchanged between the VMs. The system can store the patterns found during the analysis, find the critical elements in those patterns (like VMs playing the key role of DB server), match the patterns and use them in case a detected failure to make the system functional again at the recovery site. The system stores the communications traffic patterns learned during the network analysis and uses analytics to form or change the VM grouping, and can perform the pattern matching to quickly readjust the group.
