Abstract: Described herein are technologies for maintaining firmware setting during firmware updates. PLDM data is created prior to a firmware update. In instances of firmware updates, such as during runtime, recovery, or capsule, a flashing tool is used to perform the firmware flashing as well as exporting the setup configuration in a particular or required PLDM format. After the firmware is updated, the PLDM data is imported to preserve the firmware settings.

Abstract: A method and system for non-disruptive host repurposing. Specifically, the method and system disclosed herein entail the re-optimization of datacenter hosts (e.g., servers) for any infrastructure and/or workload deployment. Different infrastructure and/or workload deployments may require the tuning of various memory parameters (or attributes) in the basic input-output system (BIOS) configuration. Presently, the repurposing of any given host demands the full reset of the system configuration—i.e., a disruptive process—prior to implementing the necessary BIOS configuration changes. In contrast, the method and system disclosed herein facilitate the repurposing of a host through the installation and/or uninstallation of configuration overlays—a modular approach to interchanging infrastructure and/or workload deployments—without the disruption of full system resets.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide an approach for integrated testing of gateway appliance software services. In an embodiment, a test request is received at a unit test framework installed on the gateway appliance. The unit test framework dynamically generates a set of stub code for processing the test request. This set of stub code executes target code (e.g., code that is being tested) of the software services. Results of the execution are verified to determine whether the code passes the test.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a first memory that stores information on a request for performing data processing associated with a type of the data processing, a second memory that stores information on a request for performing data processing for testing, and a plurality of circuitry that performs data processing according to the type of the data processing. The plurality of circuitry includes a first circuitry that operates in a normal mode and a second circuitry that operates in a test mode. The second circuitry starts up in the test mode to operate in the test mode if the first circuitry operates in the normal mode and transitions from the test mode to the normal mode according to a user request. In the normal mode, the circuitry acquires the information on the request for performing the data processing from the first memory and performs the data processing.

Abstract: A high level programming language provides a read-only communication operator that prevents a computational space from being written. An indexable type with a rank and element type defines the computational space. For an input indexable type, the read-only communication operator produces an output indexable type with the same rank and element type as the input indexable type but ensures that the output indexable type may not be written. The read-only communication operator ensures that any attempt to write to the output indexable type will be detected as an error at compile time.

The device may generate, based on the probabilities, a test script execution order, of the test scripts, for the test cycle, and may execute, based on the test script execution order, the test on the software element in the test cycle. The device may dynamically generate, based on results for the test in the test cycle, an updated test script execution order, and may execute, based on the updated test script execution order, the test on the software element in the test cycle.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for multi-tenant workflow processing are described. In some cases, a cloud platform may utilize a set of pre-defined batch processes (e.g., workflow templates) and tenant-specific configurations for instantiating and executing tenant-specific batch processes for each tenant of a user. As such, the cloud platform may utilize common data process workflows for each tenant, where a configuration specifies tenant-specific information for the common data process workflows. The workflow templates may include a set of job definitions (e.g., actions for a server to execute) and a schedule defining the frequency for running the templates for a specific project. The configurations may indicate a tenant to execute the workflow templates for, and may include tenant-specific information to override default template information.
