Abstract: In an approach for balancing mainframe and distributed workloads, a processor receives a request to allocate an application workload to a mainframe platform and a distributed computing platform. The application workload includes a plurality of work units. A processor collects performance and cost data associated with the application workload, the mainframe platform, and the distributed computing platform. A processor determines the mainframe platform and the distributed computing platform for the plurality of work units of the application workload, based on the analysis of the performance and cost data. A processor allocates the plurality of work units of the application workload to run on the mainframe platform and the distributed computing platform respectively to balance performance and cost in real time.

Abstract: Deduplication of encrypted data using multiple keys includes responding to a request to store a predetermined set of data in an electronic data store by receiving a hash corresponding to the predetermined set of data, receiving encrypted data generated by encrypting the predetermined set of data using an encryption key, and receiving a key index corresponding to the encryption key. The hash may be determined to match a previously stored hash, the previously stored hash indicating that a previously encrypted version of the predetermined set of data is stored at a physical location in the electronic data store. Based on determining that the hash matches a previously stored hash, the hash, encrypted data, and key index are discarded.

Abstract: In an approach for pouring control, a processor recognizes that a user requests material from a dispenser with a container. A processor evaluates the container via one or more sensors. A processor determines that the user is allowed to receive the material. A processor, in response to determining that the user is allowed to receive the material, triggers the dispenser to pour the material into the container. A processor monitors the dispenser pouring the material. A processor determines that an anomaly is detected during pouring the material. A processor, in response to determining that the anomaly is detected during pouring the material, signals the dispenser to stop the pouring.
