  • Patent number: 11025510
    Abstract: System resource usage by a streaming application processing workloads can be monitored, the streaming application comprising at least one parallelizable operator, at least a first instance of the parallelizable operator being initialized to execute. Based on the monitoring, at least one performance metric for the streaming application in processing the workloads can be determined. Based on the at least one performance metric, whether hosting of the streaming application is, or is near to, violating at least one criteria can be determined. If so, at least one additional instance of at least one parallelizable operator of the streaming application that is currently executing can be initialized. Responsive to initializing the at least one additional instance of at least one of the parallelizable operators, a portion of the workloads can be directed to the at least one additional instance of at least one of the parallelizable operators.

  • Patent number: 11016897
    Abstract: Disclosed aspects relate to cache management in a stream computing environment that uses a set of many-core hardware processors to process a stream of tuples by a plurality of processing elements which operate on the set of many-core hardware processors. The stream of tuples to be processed by the plurality of processing elements which operate on the set of many-core hardware processors may be received. A tuple-processing hardware-route on the set of many-core hardware processors may be determined based on a cache factor associated with the set of many-core hardware processors. The stream of tuples may be routed based on the tuple-processing hardware-route on the set of many-core hardware processors. The stream of tuples may be processed by the plurality of processing elements which operate on the set of many-core hardware processors.

  • Patent number: 10977017
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to using a set of warning data to manage distributed development of an application in a computing environment. In embodiments, the computing environment may include a distributed computing environment or a stream computing environment. A first portion of the application may be developed by a first user. A second portion of the application may be received by the first user. The second portion of the application may be compiled and developed by a second user. Based on the set of warning data, a curative action for utilization to develop the application may be formulated. The curative action may be carried-out to develop the application.

  • Patent number: 10885050
    Abstract: A database which receives input from a data streaming application may include in-flight streamed data within the scope of a command which alters database data. Preferably, the streaming application produces data tuples for input to at least one table of the database. A user submitting modify data commands to apply to multiple tuples meeting some specified logical parameters may define the command scope to include in-flight data in the streaming application, causing the database manager to forward the command to the streaming application. A streaming application manager invokes database agents in respective nodes of the streaming application, which identify in-flight data meeting the specified logical parameters of the command, and apply the modify data operation to such data.
