Abstract: A system gives application developers and other users access to the real-time power consumption data of the hardware they are running on. In some embodiments, the system can provide an application programming interface (API). The system also provides a way for users to declare what is their maximum power limit they want to stay under. This could be combined as an OS setting that users, or cloud hardware managers, can enable, which will tell the application it is running in this power-capped mode. The application will then use the real-time power consumption data to see how close it is consuming to the specified cap. When the real-time power consumption data meets one or more criteria with respect to a specified cap, the application can dynamically adjust one or more operations to keep the power consumption of itself under the specified cap.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices, methods, and computer-readable medium for saving and restoring physical hardware states and virtual machine (VM) states for an application actively being executed on a virtual machine by a user on a computer device. The devices, methods, and computer-readable medium may allow a user to suspend a current state of an application session and save the VM and memory state to persistent storage, and later resume the execution of the saved application session by reading the state back into memory and restoring the VM state.

Abstract: A storage stack exposes an API for use by user mode applications. An application calls a function exposed by the API to enqueue requests to read a file on a file submission queue (“FSQ”). Read requests in the FSQ are dequeued in batches, and file offsets in the batches of dequeued read requests are translated to disk offsets. The translated batches of read requests are stored in a storage submission queue (“SSQ”). A storage subsystem retrieves batches of the translated read requests from the SSQ and performs the specified read operations. Completion notifications for the read requests are stored in a storage completion queue (“SCQ”). Batches of completion notifications are dequeued from the SCQ and translated to file completions. Batches of file completions are stored in a file completion queue (“FCQ”). The user mode application that submitted the read requests can dequeue batches of completion notifications from the FCQ.
