Abstract: Some techniques described herein relate to determining how to optimally store datasets in a multi-tiered storage device with compression. In one example, a method includes assigning, to a data partition of a dataset, a priority based on access patterns of the data partition. Compression data is accessed describing results of compressing a data sample associated with the data partition using multiple compression schemes. Based both on the priority of the data partition and the compression data, a storage tier is determined for storing the data partition in the multi-tiered storage device. Further, based both on the priority of the data partition and the compression data, a compression scheme is determined for compressing the data partition for storage in the multi-tiered storage device. The data partition is compressed using the compression scheme to produce a compressed data partition, and the compressed data partition is stored in the storage tier.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments illustrate methods and systems for recommending one or more vehicles, commuting on a predefined route, for one or more requestors. The method includes determining a first additional distance traversable by each vehicle apart from the predefined route to accommodate each requestor. Further, a graph comprising a first set of nodes representing the one or more requestors, and a second set of nodes representing the one or more vehicles, is generated. Thereafter, a mapping between the first set of nodes and the second set of nodes is determined based on the first additional distance. The mapping corresponds to an allocation of a requestor to a vehicle such that an additional distance traversable by the vehicle is less than an additional distance traversable by remaining vehicles apart from the predefined route. Thereafter, the one or more vehicles are recommended for the one or more requestors based on the mapping.
