Abstract: A disclosed computer-implemented method may include partitioning, based on a social graph representative of social connections among a plurality of users of a social networking system, the plurality of users into a plurality of user buckets. Each user bucket may include at least one user of the social networking system. The method may further include selecting a set of user buckets from the plurality of user buckets, assigning the set of user buckets to a data center included in a networking infrastructure, and routing data sent from a user device associated with a user included in the set of user buckets to the data center. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A disclosed computer-implemented method may include receiving, via a monitoring infrastructure that monitors an operational state of a networking infrastructure, data representative of the operational state of the networking infrastructure during a period of time. The networking infrastructure may include (1) a plurality of data centers, and (2) at least one point-of-presence (POP) edge node. The method may also include (1) accessing data representative of a set of predefined policies associated with the networking infrastructure, and (2) based on the data representative of the operational state (a) determining a set of edge load factors associated with the edge node, and (b) generating, via a linear solver and further based the set of edge load factors associated with the edge node and the set of predefined policies associated with the networking infrastructure, a routing table for the POP edge node. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A technique includes using a cache controller of an integrated circuit to control a cache including cached data content and associated cache metadata. The technique includes storing the metadata and the cached data content off of the integrated circuit and organizing the storage of the metadata relative to the cached data content such that a bus operation initiated by the cache controller to target the cached data content also targets the associated metadata.

Abstract: Example computer racks to improve environmental sustainability in data centers are disclosed. An example computer rack includes a spine (125); a first set of support structures (500) and a second set of support structures (500) extending from the spine (125). Each of the support structures (500) is positioned to receive a respective blade. A first communication port is carried by the spine (125) and associated with the first set of support structures (500). A second communication port is carried by the spine (125) and associated with the second set of support structures (500).

Abstract: Migrating data may include determining to copy a first data block in a first memory location to a second memory location and determining to copy a second data block in the first memory location to the second memory location based on a migration policy.

Abstract: In a method for managing an infrastructure housing a plurality of disaggregated heat sources, in which a first disaggregated heat source has different heat dissipation characteristics as compared with a second disaggregated heat source, cooling requirements for the disaggregated heat sources are determined, in which the first disaggregated heat source and the second disaggregated heat source are to be positioned in separate homogeneous zones of the infrastructure. In addition, a respective available cooling resource is associated with the disaggregated heat sources based upon the determined cooling requirements of the disaggregated heat sources.
