  • Patent number: 11968469
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a circuitry, a temporary memory and a permanent memory storing necessary information for executing each of a plurality types of processing. The apparatus receives a switching instruction and switches processing executed by the circuitry by varying the necessary information in response to reception of the instruction. The information is read out and loaded into a first region of the temporary memory. If the circuitry is executing at least one of the plurality types of processing when the instruction is made, the apparatus switches the circuitry to a state of being capable of executing the processing by reading out the information of the processing, loading the information into a second region of the temporary memory, and moving or copying the information related to the processing from the second region to the first region in response to the executing processing ending.

  • Patent number: 11966472
    Abstract: A known-deployed file metadata repository (KDFMR) and analysis engine enumerates reference lists of files stored on a software delivery point (SDP) and compares the enumerated list of files and associated metadata to previously stored values in the KDFMR. If newly stored or modified files are identified, the analysis engine acquires the files from the SDP. Each file is analyzed to determine whether the file is an atomic file or a container file and metadata is generated or extracted. Each file stored in a container file is recursively extracted and analyzed, where metadata is generated for each extracted file and each container file. The KDFMR periodically analyzes the files stored on the SDP for differences to maintain the currency of the KDFMR data with respect to files stored on the SDP. Storage or modification of files on the SDP triggers analysis of the associated file. KDFMR data is updated with metadata determined based on sandbox detonation of files and/or identified artifacts of known-deployed files.

  • Patent number: 11966725
    Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems to reduce the time required to terminate a set of microservices for an application while ensuring high availability and preventing request failures. This is accomplished through a termination manager which retrieves request queues for the microservices to analyze outstanding requests that require processing prior to termination. Based on the outstanding requests, the termination manager constructs call graphs for each request. The call graphs capture the operational flow of the associated request by defining a sequence of microservices whose functionality is invoked by the request. From an initial analysis, the termination manager can determine that some of the microservices do not appear in the call graphs, indicating that the microservices are not needed to process the outstanding requests. Accordingly, the unneeded microservices are terminated.
