Abstract: An information handling system includes a repository that stores a pre-production validation suite and a production validation suite. The pre-production validation suite includes first validation factors, and the production validation suite includes second validation factors. A processor may deploy an application in a pre-production environment, and validate the application in the pre-production environment using the pre-production validation suite. If the application passes the pre-production validation suite, then the processor may deploy the application in a production environment. The processor also may validate the application in the production environment using the production validation suite, assign a score associated with each one of the first validation factors and each one of the second validation factors, and generate a report based on the score associated with each one of the first validation factors and each one of the second validation factors.

Abstract: The described embodiments employ aspects of distributed ledger technologies to facilitate electronic verification and sharing of profile information. Nodes maintaining a distributed ledger include—a first node that generates profile data, and second nodes that generate certificates verifying the generated profile data. The first node can be employed by a client device to generate profile data associated with a first identifier and referencing a second identifier for inclusion on a personal profile, such as a social media webpage. The client device can send the first node a request to have the profile data verified by the referenced second identifier. The profile data can be stored on a distributed ledger so that a second node associated with the second identifier can generate, on behalf of the second identifier, a certificate that verifies the stored profile data.

Abstract: A method is disclosed including: obtaining one or more values of a system metric, the system metric being associated with a hardware resource of a computing device; detecting whether the system metric is approaching a threshold, the threshold being associated with a key performance indicator (KPI) of the computing device, the detecting being performed based on the obtained values of the system metric; calculating a predicted value of the system metric in response to detecting that the system metric is approaching the threshold, the predicted value of the system metric being calculated by using a linear predictor that is trained using unevenly-sampled training data; detecting whether the predicted value of the system metric exceeds the threshold; and reconfiguring the computing device to prevent the system metric from reaching the predicted value in response to detecting that the predicted value exceeds the threshold.

Abstract: A system and method for computing design parameters for a thermally comfortable environment is disclosed. In one embodiment, a surface heat transfer coefficient (hcal) is obtained for each body part of one or more thermal manikins in a uniform thermal environment by performing a 1D numerical analysis on the uniform thermal environment based on a given set of boundary conditions for the uniform thermal environment. Further, equivalent temperature (teq) limits for each body part corresponding to the thermal comfort limits are obtained from known design standards. Furthermore, heat flux limits (q_t limits) are obtained for each body part using associated teq limits and the hcal. In addition, the design parameters are computed by performing 1D numerical analysis on a non-uniform thermal environment, including one or more thermal manikins, based on a given set of boundary conditions for the non-uniform thermal environment and the obtained q_t limits.

Abstract: A system and method for bi-directional coupling of commercially available finite analysis solvers is disclosed. The method involves configuring a solver specific service for each of the finite analysis solvers and further configuring a task scheduling service (TSS) to facilitate the transfer of solver dependent boundary conditions or file loads between the two finite analysis solvers. Transient coupling is performed between the two finite analysis solvers while mapping data back and forth between them.

Furthermore, the method includes evaluating thermal comfort in the enclosure based on each computed teq.
