Abstract: In several aspects, a computing device analyzes data to determine its characteristics. The computing device selects at least one compression process based on the characteristics. A compression switch and a compression level are dynamically adjusted based on multiple factors including available system resources, desired storage savings and performance requirement. The compression level dynamically varies depending on the data being processed and a workload on a system. Performance of compression and decompression operations are continuously monitored for dynamically adjusting compression parameters to optimize performance.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for adapting scripts from a source platform to be utilized in a target platform when porting. Traces of system calls from the commands in the source and target platforms are analyzed to identify building blocks. A tree structure for each command of the source and target platforms is constructed with one or more building blocks from the identified building blocks. Commands of the target platform with a functionality within a threshold degree of similarity to the commands of the source platform are identified by analyzing the building blocks of the commands' tree structures. Alternative commands for the commands of the source platform, such as those commands that are not supported by the target platform, may be generated using such identified commands. The script from the source platform may then be adapted to be utilized in the target platform using such alternative commands.

Abstract: A system and method for improving the performance and reducing costs of a program by automatically provisioning and managing proper memory pool cell size adaptive to each executing application. By collecting time series of historical data on the memory pool usage of applications over a period of time, respective time-series prediction models are used to process the data to predict the allocation size for applications and in particular, a predicted number of allocations and a respective predicted allocation cell size. A clustering-based method is further applied to predict the allocation size for applications, using real time execution to do scaling, complement and interpolation. A method runs a further time-series prediction model trained to predict, based on the predicted memory cell size and one or more application profile features associated with the requesting application, a tuning parameter to refine the memory pool storage area size used for handling memory allocation requests.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an implementation for a trusted computing system. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, a master controller in an SSD, which is necessarily configured in the system, is used to provide all necessary security functionality of the system's RoT. The system does not need to contain any special RoT chip or module, does not need any modifications in the system design, is easy to adopt, and can be implemented by any system comprising a hard drive. All necessary security functions are completed by the master controller of the system's hard drive. Thus, not only can the cost of the security module be reduced, but more importantly, the mechanism directly protects information and resources (e.g., operating system, user programs, user data, etc.) that actually need to be protected in the system, and once the mechanism is enabled, the protection function cannot be bypassed.
