Abstract: Described herein are IC devices include vias deposited in a regular array, e.g., a hexagonal array, and processes for depositing vias in a regular array. The process includes depositing a guiding pattern over a metal grating, depositing a diblock copolymer over the guiding pattern, and causing the diblock copolymer to self-assemble such one polymer forms an array of cylinders over metal portions of the metal grating. The polymer layer can be converted into a hard mask layer, with one hard mask material forming the cylinders, and a different hard mask material surrounding the cylinders. A cylinder can be selectively etched, and a via material deposited in the cylindrical hole to form a via.

Abstract: One or more computer processors identify one or more similar, historical regression tests and historical builds utilizing a computed similarity measure between a regressed build and one or more historical builds conducted on a same release cycle, wherein the identified one or more similar historical regression tests and historical builds are K closest neighbors to the regressed build; predict an elapsed time of the one or more profiled regression tests utilizing a KNN algorithm comprising the K closest neighbors each weighted by a corresponding average distance from a test point and the elapsed time as a target variable; responsive to the predicted elapsed time exceeding an actual elapsed time associated with the regressed build, determine that the regressed build is an actual regression; responsive to determining that the regressed build is not due to variability, apply one or more mitigation actions to the regressed build.

Abstract: Privilege escalation in a cloud platform comprises provisioning to a client access privileges to the database entities that are covered by a license. A base escalation matrix is provisioned to the client with additional access privileges not covered by the license. An API request is received and the requested CRUD operation is attempted on a first database entity. Responsive to the requested CRUD operation initially failing because the client does not have required access privileges activation of an exception signaling failure of the requested CRUD operation is detected and used as a trigger to fetch the base escalation matrix. The access privileges of the client are escalated by applying the additional access privileges from the base escalation matrix to a user context of the current API query request, and repeating the requested CRUD operation. The escalated access privileges are then removed.

Abstract: A branded fleet server system includes a pre-assembled third-party computer system integrated into a chassis of the branded fleet server system. The pre-assembled third-party computer system is configured to execute proprietary software that is only licensed for use on branded hardware. A virtualization offloading component is included in the server chassis of the branded fleet server along with the pre-assembled third-party computer system. The virtualization offloading component acts as a bridge between the pre-assembled third-party computer system and a virtualized computing service. As such, the virtualization offloading component manages communications, security, metadata, etc. to allow the pre-assembled computer system to function as one of a fleet of virtualization hosts of the virtualized computing service.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a methods and systems for establishing a long-range quantum link in a quantum communication network and for improving connection rate of the quantum link. The quantum link is established across multiple quantum repeaters relying on quantum entanglement swap operations in the multiple quantum repeaters. The methods and systems use nested connection loops that are started as soon as quantum repeater resources become available.

Abstract: An apparatus including a plurality of page circuits and a common request circuit. The page circuits may each be implemented within a respective memory bank controller of a memory bank set and store an address and determine a page hit status. The common request circuit may be implemented within the memory bank set and store client requests and issue a command corresponding to the client requests in response to the page hit status and an order of storage of the client requests. The page circuits may comprise half a storage depth of the common request circuit. The common request circuit may be shared between each of the memory bank controllers of the memory bank set. The memory bank controllers may control access to a random access memory. The address, the client requests and the page hit status may enable buffering to provide a preview of upcoming client requests.

Abstract: Techniques for failover management using availability groups are described. According to some embodiments, customers can define one or more availability groups within their infrastructure. Each availability group may be associated with one or more rules which describe how the availability group should fail over. The availability group definition may define the resources included in the availability group, a target region to fail over to, and capacity reservations for the availability group in the target region. In some embodiments, the definition may also include a replication frequency for storage resources which defines how often data is backed up. Once a customer as created an availability group the customer is then able to either create resources in that availability group or associate already existing resources with the availability group. An availability group management service can ensure that data, capacity reservations and network infrastructure are defined and/or replicated to the target location.
