Abstract: Embodiments relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for path management in a processing system. In a method, in response to receiving a request for adding a target controlling unit into a processing system, a plurality of network nodes in the processing system are divided into a group of subnets based on a topology of the plurality of network nodes, the plurality of network nodes being connected to at least one controlling unit in the processing system. A workload estimation is determined, the workload estimation representing a workload to be caused by the target controlling unit to the processing system. A target subnet is selected from the group of subnets for connecting the target controlling unit into the processing system based on the workload estimation. With these embodiments, the target subnet may be selected in an automatic way such that the performance of the processing system may be increased.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for dynamic data collection. The dynamic data collection includes determining a data generation temporal pattern. Based on the data generation temporal pattern, a data collection strategy is created. The data collection strategy can be based on one or more data collection goals. The data collection strategy can contain specific details on how data is to be collected. A data infrastructure evaluation is performed, which provides pricing models for resources such as electricity and/or network bandwidth. A data collection policy is created based on the data collection strategy and the data infrastructure evaluation. The data collection policy can contain specific details on when data is to be collected and what strategy to use for the collection. A data transfer schedule is created based on the data collection policy. The data transfer schedule determines when to collect data from one or more data source devices.

Abstract: A system may include a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The processor may be configured to perform operations. The operations may include receiving a task request from a user and determining a preferred executor type for the task request. The operations may include selecting an executor of the preferred executor type for the task request. The operations may include performing the task request with the executor and returning a response to the task request to the user.

Abstract: A method of managing an active-active database system storing a first copy of data records at a first node a second copy of the data records at a second node includes receiving a first set of operations stored at the first node as a first set of local operations, a copy of the first set of operations transmitted to the second node and stored as a first set of remote operations, and receiving a second set of operations stored at the second node as a second set of local operations, a copy of the second set of operations transmitted to the first node and stored as a second set of remote operations. The method includes determining a comparison point by selecting an operation from each of the first set of operations and the second set of operations, and comparing the first copy of the data records to the second copy.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a processing unit, from a first tenant, a query to retrieve data from a nonrelational database system. The method further includes determining, by the processing unit, that an index associated with the query is cached in a shared index cache, wherein the shared index cache stores indexes for a plurality of tenants. The method further includes retrieving, by the processing unit, a result of the query based on the index in the shared index cache. The method further includes outputting, by the processing unit, the result of the query.

Abstract: A method for transmitting web-conference content over a network connection is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method conducts a web conference over a network connection. The method monitors characteristics of the network connection in order to determine bandwidth of the network connection during the web conference. The method implements, on the network connection, a “raw” mode wherein audio data of the web conference is transmitted over the network connection in an original format. Upon detecting a low bandwidth condition on the network connection, the method toggles from the “raw” mode to a “saving” mode where audio data of the web conference is converted to text at a first end of the network connection, transmitted over the network connection as text, and converted from text back to audio data at a second end of the network connection. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one implementation, includes: monitoring requests received for an AI interface prompt in real-time, and determining whether one or more of the requests violate compliance metrics. Risk scores are calculated for requests determined as violating the compliance metrics. The requests determined as violating the compliance metrics are updated by implementing protective measures correlated with the calculated risk scores. Moreover, the updated requests are sent to the AI interface prompt.
