Abstract: The present invention discloses a fabrication method and use of a ?40 mm large-size and high-contrast fiber optic image inverter, belonging to the field of manufacturing of fiber optic imaging elements. The light-absorbing glass for preparing the ?40 mm large-size and high-contrast fiber optic image inverter consists of the following components in molar percentage: SiO2 60-69.9, Al2O3 1.0-10.0, B2O3 10.1-15.0, Na2O 1.0-8.0, K2O 3.0-10.0, MgO 0.1-1.0, CaO 0.5-5.0, ZnO 0-0.1, TiO2 0-0.1, ZrO2 0.1-1.0, Fe2O3 3.0-6.5, Co2O3 0.1-0.5, V2O5 0.51-1.5 and MoO3 0.1-1.0. The fiber optic image inverter has the advantages of low crosstalk of stray light, high resolution and high contrast.

Abstract: An apparatus and associated method are provided for application deployment assessment. In use, a plurality of deployment parameters associated with one or more applications, and a workload profile are received. Further, an application deployment specification is generated, based on the workload profile and the deployment parameters. Still yet, a type of one or more orchestrators on one or more systems is identified. The application deployment specification is processed, based on the identified type of the one or more orchestrators on the one or more systems. Further, the one or more processors execute the instructions to deploy, via an application program interface (API), the one or more applications to the one or more orchestrators on at least one of the one or more systems, and at least one workload generator to at least one of the one or more systems, utilizing the processed application deployment specification. Operational data is collected from one or more monitoring agents on the one or more systems.
