Publication number: 20230297366Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for two-way synchronization of infrastructure-as-code templates and instances, including a method comprising detecting changes to a run-time state of a system and, in response to detecting a change, triggering an update of a current run-time state model. The method may further comprise, in response to updating the run-time state model, comparing the updated model to a current model using a template in a local repository instantiated as the current model. The method may further comprise, in response to the comparison determining a structural difference between the updated model and the current model, merging the updated model and the current model into a new model; and updating a local clone of a repository of the template with the new model.

Patent number: 11132226Abstract: Computer-implemented methods, systems and computer program products that leverage infrastructure code (IaC) to provision applications in a computing environment as virtual resources. A plurality of containers operating parallel to one another process resource provisioning requests. A central application provisioner orchestrates the containerized provisioning of resources using IaC. Application provisioner introspects IaC templates defining the provisioning request and creates a graph of the templates, mapping requested resources to containers based on the specification of the containers available. Application provisioner spins up idle containers and distributes resource provisioning tasks amongst the idle containers. An idle container provisions an assigned resource and outputs individual state information describing the provisioned resource.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2020Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Sagar Jadhav, Hugh Edward Hockett

Publication number: 20210071239Abstract: Disclosed are methods for polynucleotide sequencing that detect the location of selected nucleobases with greater precision. The methods can be used to determine the location and nature of modified bases in a polynucleotide, that is, non-canonical bases, or to improve accuracy of sequencing of “problem” regions of DNA sequencing such as homopolymers, GC rich areas, etc. The sequencing method exemplified is nanopore sequencing. Nanopore sequencing is used to generate a unique signal at a point in a polynucleotide sequence where an abasic site (AP site, or apurinic or apyrimidinic site) exists. As part of the method, an abasic site is specifically created enzymatically using a DNA glycosylase that recognizes a pre-determined nucleobase species and cleaves the N-glycosidic bond to release only that base, leaving an AP site in its place.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2020Publication date: March 11, 2021Inventors: Miten Jain, Hugh Edward Olsen, Mark A.

Patent number: 10749773Abstract: Embodiments provide optimized deployment of workloads. A first workload to be deployed in at least one data center of a plurality of data centers is received. A first plurality of candidate data centers is selected from the plurality of data centers, and the first workload is deployed to each of the first plurality of candidate data centers. A first performance metric is collected from each respective data center of the first plurality of candidate data centers based on execution of the first workload deployed at the respective data centers, and a first optimal data center from the first plurality of candidate data centers is identified based on the first performance metrics. The first workload is removed from each of the first plurality of candidate data centers, other than the identified first optimal data center.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2018Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hugh Edward Hockett, Lin Sun, Aaron James Quirk
