Abstract: Systems and methods of determining physical capacity of logical space units are disclosed. The method populates a first smart filter to track a physical capacity of a first logical space unit (LSU). The method adds fingerprints from the first LSU to register(s) of the first smart filter. The method populates a second smart filter to track fingerprints deleted by garbage collection (GC). The method adds the deleted fingerprints to register(s) of the second smart filter. Using the first and second smart filters, the method determines an intersection cardinality of the first LSU and the deleted fingerprints. The method determines a cardinality of unique fingerprints in the first LSU based on the intersection cardinality of the first LSU and the deleted fingerprints. The method determines the physical capacity of the first LSU based at least on the cardinality of unique fingerprints in the first LSU.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Some user equipments (UEs) and base stations may communicate in a set of transmission time intervals (TTIs) according to a configured subcarrier spacing (SCS). Each TTI may include, in accordance with the SCS, a quantity of symbols, a corresponding quantity of cyclic prefixes, and a padding duration that may be longer than a symbol duration. The base station may transmit a control signal to the UE to indicate a configuration for the padding duration. The configuration may allocate the padding duration for reference signal repetition or one or more other operations. In some examples, the padding duration may be allocated for beam switching, and the one or more other operations may be different than beam switching. The UE and the base station may perform the reference signal repetition or the other operations during the padding duration based on the configuration.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may generate a migration assessment for resources of a computer system. In particular, the apparatus may logically divide topological information to facilitate identification of a resource, components used by the resource, and dependencies. The system further enables users to specify user-defined migration parameters that specify the migration. For instance, the parameters may specify a cost associated with the migration of the component, a license model of the component, a security requirement of the component, a performance of the component, a customization of the component, or requirement of the component. Migration assessments and decisions may be stored to train machine-learned models. For instance, the model may assess whether a parameter will be satisfied by using a certain cloud service and whether substitutes have sufficiently satisfied dependencies based on observed migration assessments and actual migrations.
