Abstract: Described herein are techniques for optimizing scheduling of access events (e.g., downloads) on mobile devices based on server congestion. In some embodiments, response times are monitored for a number of servers at various times to establish availability patterns for those servers. An indication of a number of software applications installed upon a mobile device is used to identify a number of access events to be associated with that mobile device. The servers associated with those access events are identified and an access schedule is generated based on the availability patterns. The access schedule is then provided to the mobile device, which initiates execution of the access events according to the access schedule.

Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein are directed towards systems, methods, and computer storage media for, among other things, converting a video stream being transmitted in a first streaming protocol to a second streaming protocol without transcoding the content communicated in the video stream. For example, the technology described herein may convert an RTP video stream to a non-RTP video stream without transcoding. The technology described herein extracts a plurality of media content from an RTP package and repackages the extracted content into a non-RTP streaming protocol, such as WebRTC or HLS. Moreover, the technology described herein can provide for the synchronization of video and audio data during conversion.

Abstract: Embodiments enable display updates other than a video stream in a graphical user interface (GUI) to be rendered, encoded, and transmitted exclusive of the video stream. A virtual machine generates a GUI that includes an encoded video stream and other display updates. A virtual graphics processing unit (VGPU) stack associated with the VM renders the other display updates of the GUI to a framebuffer. The rendered display updates are encoded and transmitted to a client for display. The encoded video stream, or a modified (e.g., reduced bit rate) version of the encoded video stream, may be transmitted to the client, such that the client can display the encoded video stream within the GUI. For example, the encoded video stream may be selectively transmitted to the client based on the performance capabilities of the client.

Abstract: A Rules-Based Just-In-Time (RBJIT) content streaming engine collects information such as behavior, usage, movement, and preferences about a user, any groups that the user is associated with, and the set of all users in general. Based on this information, the RBJIT may preferentially select multimedia content and content suggestions for user display, increasing the likelihood that the surfaced content will be of interest to a user. In this way, browsing time for a user on a device with a limited form factor is reduced and network bandwidth is conserved by not surfacing content that the user ultimately will not view.

Abstract: Remote multi-target client monitoring for streaming content is disclosed. Raw data generated within a remote client device is received from the client device. The raw data is associated with content playback. An adaptor is used to translate the raw data into a unified data model. The translating comprises determining, from the raw data, a designation of at least one of a start and an end of a monitoring session.

Abstract: Generally discussed herein are systems, devices, and methods for populating a cache in an information-centric network. A device of an ICN can include a content store including published content and attributes of the published content stored thereon, the attributes including at least two of a device from which the content originated attribute, a lineage attribute, and a service level agreement attribute, and content processing circuitry coupled to the content store, the content processing circuitry configured to manage the published content based on the attributes.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods and systems for improved storage strategies for use of collections of storage resources, such as solid state drives, including in connection with a converged networking and storage node that may be used for virtualization of a collection of physically attached and/or network-connected storage resources.

Abstract: A device includes a converged input/output controller that includes a physical target storage media controller, a physical network interface controller and a gateway between the storage media controller and the network interface controller, wherein gateway provides a direct connection for storage traffic and network traffic between the storage media controller and the network interface controller.
