Abstract: Remote configuration of network interface cards (NICs) on appliances of a scaleable compute resource such as a frame-based system is disclosed. Frames may include a frame link module (FLM). Remote configuration of NICs may allow for multiple networks to be maintained in physical or logical isolation from each other. For example, a management data network may be maintained independently of an application data network. An FLM CPU may detect an appliance, validate compatibility for the appliance, a midplane, a PHY connection, etc. Commands from the FLM CPU may configure the independent networks. Independent networks may provide redundancy and segregation by data type. A controller area network (CAN) bus may deliver configuration commands to a NIC of an attached appliance. Air gap equivalent isolation of networks based on type of network may be achieved while maintaining redundancy of networks to address potential failure of individual components.

Abstract: Various methods and systems for implementing request scheduling and processing in a multi-tenant distributed computing environment are provided. Requests to utilize system resources in the distributed computing environment are stored in account queues corresponding to tenant accounts. If storing a request in an account queue would exceed a throttling threshold such as a limit on the number of requests stored per account, the request is dropped to a throttling queue. A scheduler prioritizes processing requests stored in the processing queue before processing requests stored in the account queues. The account queues can be drained using dominant resource scheduling. In some embodiments, a request is not picked up from an account queue if processing the request would exceed a predefined hard limit on system resource utilization for the corresponding tenant account. In some embodiments, the hard limit is defined as a percentage of threads the system has to process requests.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and apparatus for improving the delivery of web content that has been authored for multiple devices. In certain embodiments, an intermediary device such as a proxy server determines the characteristics of a client device requesting multi-device content, obtains and examines the multi-device content, and in view of the particular requesting client device removes portions that are irrelevant for that device. Doing so can accelerate delivery of the content by reducing payload and relieving the client device of the processing burden associated with parsing the content to make that determination itself, among other things.
