  • Patent number: 10572383
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for managing caching of data in a multi-tenant cache storage device utilized by a distributed dataset based application. The mechanisms retrieve Resilient Distributed Dataset (RDD) block size information for an RDD associated with an application. A probability distribution of RDD block sizes is generated based on the RDD block size information and a maximum size for a RDD block of data is estimated based on the probability distribution. An amount of free space in a portion of the multi-tenant cache storage device allocated to the application is estimated based on the estimated maximum size for the RDD block of data. Cache operations for caching data associated with the application to the multi-tenant cache storage device are managed based on the estimated amount of free space in the portion of the multi-tenant cache storage device allocated to the application.

  • Patent number: 10571259
    Abstract: An optical detecting apparatus for detecting a degree of freedom error of a spindle and has a standard bar and a sensor module, and is assembled between a spindle and a rotating platform of a powered machinery. The standard bar has a rod lens and a reflection face. The sensor module has two detecting groups, an oblique laser head, and a reflected spot displacement sensor. Each detecting group emits a laser light through the rod lens along the X-axis and the Y-axis of the powered machinery. The oblique laser head emits an oblique laser light to the reflected spot displacement sensor. When the spindle of the powered machinery generates errors after rotating, the sensor module receives the changes of the laser lights to obtain the displacement change signals of the standard bar for a calculation unit to detect the errors between the spindle and the rotating platform.
