Abstract: A system includes processing circuitry programmed to perform operations. The operations include determining whether a first sensor is available at a chiller. The first sensor includes a temperature sensor or a pressure sensor of the chiller. The operations include, responsive to determining that the first sensor is unavailable, determining an estimated value for the first sensor based on measurements from available sensors of the chiller (where the available sensors include at least one of an available temperature sensor or an available pressure sensor of the chiller), determining a plurality of enthalpy points using the estimated value for the first sensor and the measurements from the available sensors, and determining an efficiency of the chiller based on the plurality of enthalpy points. The operations also include affecting an operation of the chiller based on the efficiency.

Abstract: An environmental control system for a building is shown. The system includes a control device operable affect a static pressure in a conduit, a building device operable to affect a flow rate of a fluid through the conduit, and a controller including a processing circuit configured to perform a volumetric control process to generate a control signal for the drive device. The processing circuit is further configured to receive an operating position signal of the control device. The processing circuit is further configured to determine an estimated static pressure level within the duct using the operating position signal of the control device and update the control signal based on the estimated static pressure level determined using the operating position. The processing circuit is further configured to operate the drive device based on the updated control signal to affect the flow rate of the fluid.

Abstract: A Software Defined Network Attached Storage (SDNAS) executes on a storage system to provide access to shared file systems, referred to as “shares”, on the storage system. Users access the shares using protocol clients. To enable the SDNAS to provide differentiated prioritization between the various shares, a share priority table is maintained by the SDNAS. As shares are created, or optionally after the shares have been created, each share is assigned a share priority which is stored in the share priority table. When an IO operation is received from a protocol client on a share, the SDNAS process determines a share priority value of the share from the share priority table. The share priority value is used to specify an IO priority which used by the operating system scheduling mechanism to schedule the IO operation and to establish a CPU priority for the IO operation.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a computer system, a computer program product, and a method that comprises receiving data associated with an initiation of a process; dynamically determining a sequence of a plurality of sub-processes associated with the received data based the initiated process; dynamically prioritizing the determined sequence of the plurality of sub-processes associated with the received data based on an analysis of eligible variations and a pre-stored database of variations associated with each respective sub-process; dynamically performing the process based the prioritized sequence of the plurality of sub-processes associated with the received data; and transmitting a result of the dynamic prioritization of the determined sequence of a plurality of variations to a user interface of another computing device.

Abstract: A Software Defined Network Attached Storage (SDNAS) executes on a storage system to provide access to shared file systems, referred to as “shares”, on the storage system. Users access the shares using protocol clients. A share priority table is maintained by the SDNAS and used to specify share priorities on the storage system. A share priority adjustment process is used to dynamically adjust the share priority values based on average usage values computed using a weighted usage function, and optionally based on limited ranges. The weighted usage function considers the average number of protocol client connections on the share, the average number of read operations on the share, whether the share supports continuous availability, and other factors. The adjusted share priority values are used to specify IO priorities which used by the operating system scheduling mechanism to schedule the IO operations and to establish CPU priorities for the IO operations.

Abstract: System and methods for automatic detection and clustering of variable air volume units in a building management system are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes receiving one or more of variable air volume unit (VAV) data and an air handling unit (AHU) data from one or more data sources, determining one or more VAVs as a suspect VAV based on the VAV data and the AHU data, and removing the suspect VAV to determine a duct static pressure setpoint for an AHU.

Abstract: Implementations are provided herein for optimizing the usage of cluster resources in a cluster of nodes operating as a distributed file system. A node relative capacity table can be generated that inventories the total capacity of each node within the cluster of nodes. Each node can then be dynamically monitored for usage of node resources. A node available capacity table can be dynamically populated with the amount of available capacity each node has for compute, memory usage, and network bandwidth. When clients connect to the distributed file system, they can be directed to have their requests serviced by nodes with greater available capacity based on policy.
