  • Patent number: 10200271
    Abstract: A method for testing a composite service is provided. The method may include installing a first debug probe on a first service. The method may include installing a second debug probe on a second service. The method may include executing the composite service, whereby the composite service comprises the first service and the second service. The method may include receiving a first service interaction log and a second service interaction log, whereby the first interaction log records a first plurality of I/O, and whereby the second interaction log records a second plurality of I/O. The method may include generating a global scheduling script based on the first service interaction log and the second interaction log. The method may include sending the first plurality of I/O to the first debug probe and the second plurality of I/O to the second debug probe based on the global scheduling script.

  • Publication number: 20180358810
    Abstract: A computing device can generate predictions for future consumptions for one or more buildings based on a variety of factors. The factors can include a local climate corresponding to each building, a mass and heat transfer for each building, a daily operation for each building, and an occupancy behavior for each building. A power flow can be determined for one or more power generators. The power flow can be determined based on the predictions of future consumption. A control input vector can be determined for the one or more buildings.

  • Publication number: 20180285989
    Abstract: Measurements of energy usage including details of power consumption can be stored for power usage devices. The measurements of energy usage can be used to predict future consumption for each of the power usage devices. A power consumption can be modified using the prediction. The energy cost can be optimized based using the prediction, such as, for example, by modifying a power consumption of one of the power usage devices.

  • Publication number: 20180225585
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for predicting the occupancy of a space. Measurements of the occupancy of the space can be obtained. A change point can be detected based on the measurements. The occupancy and the number of occupants, if available, of the space for a future interval can be predicted using the data from the change point detected.

  • Publication number: 20180203160
    Abstract: A photovoltaic system can include multiple photovoltaic power inverters that convert sunlight to power. An amount of power for each of the inverters can be measured over a period of time. These measurements, along with other data, can be collected. The collected measurements can be used to generate artificial neural networks that predict the output of each inverter based on input parameters. Using these neural networks, the total solar power generation forecast for the photovoltaic system can be predicted.

  • Publication number: 20180189114
    Abstract: Managing service container dependency is provided. A notification that a first service container is running on a host environment is received. It is determined whether the first service container is dependent on a second service container being up and running on the host environment. In response to determining that the first service container is dependent on a second service container being up and running on the host environment, it is determined whether the second service container is running on the host environment. In response to determining that the second service container is not running on the host environment, service requests from the first service container to the second service container are responded to using stub data that corresponds to the second service container.

  • Publication number: 20180150385
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products to perform an operation comprising non-blocking runtime debugging of an application executing in a single threaded server environment by obtaining a first request from a head of a request queue, processing the first request based on server application code under debugging, triggering, in response to the first request, a debugging procedure, pausing processing of the first request based on the debugging procedure, tagging the first request with an indication that the first request is in debugging, placing the first request back on the request queue in a position behind the head of the queue, storing debug information related to the first request, and executing at least a second request from the request queue while processing of the first request is paused.
