  • Patent number: 11175950
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for dynamic regulation of parallelism for job scheduling are disclosed. A job scheduler sends a resource manager a request to execute a first set of compute jobs using a set of computing resources. The number of jobs corresponds to a first parallelism value. The job scheduler receives a response indicating that the number of computing resources was sufficient or insufficient to schedule the jobs. The job scheduler sends another request to execute another set of compute jobs whose number corresponds to a new parallelism value determined based at least in part on the response. If the number of computing resources was sufficient, the new parallelism value represents an increase over the first parallelism value. If the number of computing resources was insufficient, the new parallelism value represents a decrease from the first parallelism value.

  • Patent number: 11178227
    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems for the efficient resyncing of stale components of a distributed-computing system. One method includes determining that a first base component at a remote site will go offline. After determining that the first base component at the remote site will go offline, a first delta component is created at the remote site. While the first base component at the remote site is offline, data corresponding to the offline component is collected at the first delta component at the remote site. After collecting data at the first delta component, the collected data is sent to a local site. The method includes determining that the first base component has come back online. In response to determining that the first base component has come back online, the collected data is sent from the first delta component to the first base component via an intra-site network.

  • Publication number: 20210352573
    Abstract: A network scan may be performed, and the best network may be selected in real time in the device after evaluating all available carriers whose network information is gathered by network scanning The network scan enables the device to fairly compare the connectivity of the available carrier services and can be used to improve the on-device network selection. The network scan may be further used in order to ensure the existence of a better carrier service before switching. Accordingly, this may reduce unnecessary poor switches to networks having lower quality connections and increase good switches to networks having better quality. The present disclosure provides for determining when to run network scan and how to use the scan results to make the cell network selection decision.
