  • Quality of service classes
    Patent number: 9582326
    Abstract: In one embodiment, tasks executing on a data processing system can be associated with a Quality of Service (QoS) classification that is used to determine the priority values for multiple subsystems of the data processing system. The QoS classifications are propagated when tasks interact and the QoS classes are interpreted a multiple levels of the system to determine the priority values to set for the tasks. In one embodiment, one or more sensors coupled with the data processing system monitor a set of system conditions that are used in part to determine the priority values to set for a QoS class.

  • DYNAMIC SERVICE DISCOVERY
    Publication number: 20160125194
    Abstract: When an application is launched, a framework scanning module scans a plurality of frameworks linked against by the application to generate a list of available services. When the application makes a request of a particular service, a service verification module compares the requested service to the list of available services and if the requested service is found in the list of available services, sends a signal to the application, the signal allowing access to the requested service for the application. Otherwise, access to the requested service is denied.
