Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for controlling cache allocations in a configurable combined private and shared cache in a processor-based system. The processor-based system is configured to receive a cache allocation request to allocate a line in a share cache structure, which may further include a client identification (ID). The cache allocation request and the client ID can be compared to a sub-non-uniform memory access (NUMA) (sub-NUMA) bit mask and a client allocation bit mask to generate a cache allocation vector. The sub-NUMA bit mask may have been programmed to indicate that processing cores associated with a sub-NUMA region are available, whereas processing cores associated with other sub-NUMA regions are not available, and the client allocation bit mask may have been programmed to indicate that processing cores are available.

Abstract: A method of generating customizable goal representation is disclosed. A request from a user to view a goal representation is received. A flexible goal ontology is accessed that comprises one or more goal entities, one or more goal relationships between the goal entities, or one or more goal properties, the one or more goal properties including one or more metadata attributes relating to the one or more goal entities. A set of mapping rules is obtained that defines mappings between one or more goals. The set of mapping rules is evaluated to assemble a customized goal representation tailored to the user. The customized goal representation is updated based on a revaluation of the mapping rules affected by changes to the one or more goal entities, the one or more goal relationships, or the one or more properties.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.

Abstract: Techniques for providing an embedded container-based control plane for clustered environments. A clustered storage system includes one to many storage appliances, in which one storage appliance is designated as a “primary appliance” and any other storage appliance(s) is/are designated as a “peer appliance(s).” The primary appliance includes a central database, one peer appliance includes a synchronously replicated database, and any other peer appliances each include an asynchronously replicated database. The primary appliance further includes a global management IP for managing access to the central database. The primary and peer appliances each further include a control plane container for implementing command processing services. The control plane container of the primary appliance further implements command orchestration services.

Abstract: Aspects include a water-leak-detection and -monitoring system for a building including a first area, comprising a memory, a communication interface configured to be communicatively coupled to a water-flow sensor coupled to a pipe in the first area, at least one of a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor, or a liquid-water sensor configured to sense information indicative of a presence of water in the first area, and an analytical engine in communication with a base unit, the memory, the communication interface, and the at least one of the humidity sensor, the temperature sensor, or the liquid-water sensor, the analytical engine being configured to determine whether a leak is present in the building based on data from the water-flow sensor, and determine, responsive to determining that the leak is present, if the leak is in the first area based on the information indicative of the presence of water in the first area.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include a method of analyzing compliance risk at a construction site, the method comprising receiving applicable compliance requirements via a controller, receiving information describing the construction site via the controller, receiving monitoring data from one or more base units gathering data at the construction site, the one or more base units including sensors, each of the sensors configured to detect one or more parameters, at least one controller communicatively coupled to one or more of the sensors, at least one communications module coupled to one or more of the controllers and configured to communicate with one or more devices, and one or more sensor ports configured to communicatively couple the one or more of the sensors to the at least one controller, and calculating one or more compliance thresholds based on the applicable compliance requirements, information describing the construction site being monitored, and the monitoring data.

Abstract: Techniques are presented for clustering data storage including (a) announcing, using zeroconf, to a local network, a service provided by a DSA and an unreserved state of the DSA, the service being of a clusterable data storage type, (b) receiving a cluster command from a configuration management device connected to the local network, the cluster command directing the DSA to join a storage cluster to present combined storage of the DSA and at least one other DSA, and (c) in response to receiving the cluster command: (1) announcing to the local network via L2 multicasting that the DSA has entered a reserved state using zeroconf, (2) afterwards, performing configuration operations including updating system parameters, resulting in the DSA becoming part of the storage cluster, and (3) while in the reserved state, receiving another cluster command directing the DSA to join another storage cluster, and, in response, refusing the other cluster command.

Abstract: A primary copy and one or more shadow copies of a logical volume are created and discovered by a host rescan performed when the logical volume is initially created. Data storage resources are allocated to the primary copy, but not to the shadow copy. The initial path state of the logical volume describes the path to the primary copy as active, and the path to the shadow copy as unavailable for accessing the logical volume. Movement of the logical volume to the storage appliance providing the shadow copy can be performed without an additional host rescan, by making the shadow copy the new primary copy, making the primary copy a new shadow copy, and updating the path state of the logical volume to indicate i) that the path to the new primary copy is active, and ii) that the path to the new shadow copy is unavailable.
