Patent number: 12461943Abstract: An embodiment includes detecting a search request of a multi-dimensional search space by a system; responsive to detecting the search request, sampling representative parameters in the multi-dimensional search space based on a sampling threshold. The embodiment includes determining a parameter range of the representative parameters in the multi-dimensional search space. The embodiment also includes transforming a part of the multi-dimensional search space based on a statistical guarantee and the parameter range, where the part of the multi-dimensional search space is a refined space for a solution of the search request.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2024Date of Patent: November 4, 2025Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Burkhard Ringlein, Srikumar Venugopal, Michael Johnston, Christoph Hagleitner

Patent number: 11863385Abstract: The invention is notably directed to a method, computer program product, and computer system for running software inside containers. The method relies on a computerized system that includes a composable disaggregated infrastructure, in addition to general-purpose hardware. The computerized system is configured to dynamically allocate computerized resources, which include both general resources and specialized resources. The former are enabled by the general-purpose hardware, while the latter are enabled by specialized network-attached hardware components of the composable disaggregated infrastructure. The method maintains a table capturing specializations of the specialized network-attached hardware components. At runtime, software is run inside each container by executing corresponding functions.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Dionysios Diamantopoulos, Burkhard Ringlein, Francois Abel

Patent number: 11630696Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a messaging method for a hardware acceleration system. The method includes determining exchange message types to be exchanged with a hardware accelerator in accordance with an application performed by the hardware acceleration system. The exchange message types indicate a number of variables, and a type of the variables, of the messages. The method also includes selecting schemas from a schema database. The message type schemas indicates a precision representation of variables of messages associated with the schema. The selected schemas correspond to the determined exchange message types. Further, the method includes configuring a serial interface of the hardware accelerator in accordance with the selected schemas, to enable a message exchange including the messages.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2020Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Dionysios Diamantopoulos, Mitra Purandare, Burkhard Ringlein, Christoph Hagleitner

Patent number: 11360789Abstract: Methods are provided for configuring a reconfigurable hardware device to execute a user application. Such a method includes providing static shell logic on the device. The static shell logic is controlled by a primary management core for managing operation of the device, and has a predetermined hardware interface. The method includes configuring on the device, via the primary management core, dynamic shell logic for implementing dynamically-selected shell functionality. The dynamic shell logic includes a secondary management core, adapted to communicate with the primary management core via the hardware interface, for managing operation of the dynamic shell logic. The method further comprises configuring on the device, via the primary management core, application logic, having an interface with the dynamic shell logic, for executing the user application. The secondary management core uploads to the primary management core dynamic code to adapt the primary management core for use with the dynamic shell logic.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Burkhard Ringlein, Francois Abel, Beat Eugen Weiss

Security incident disposition predictions based on cognitive evaluation of security knowledge graphs
Patent number: 11308211Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to perform security incident disposition operations. A security incident is received that includes a security incident data structure comprising metadata describing properties of the security incident, and a corresponding security knowledge graph which includes nodes representing elements associated with the security incident and edges representing relationships between the nodes. The security incident data structure and security knowledge graph are processed to extract a set of security incident features corresponding to the security incident and input the extracted set of security incident features into a trained security incident machine learning model. The model generates a disposition classification output based on results of processing the extracted set of security incident features. The disposition classification output is output to the source of the security incident data structure.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2019Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Burkhard Ringlein, Preeti Ravindra, Bradley E.
