  • Patent number: 12373139
    Abstract: Decoupled computing systems include layers of same-type computing resources, and include a dispatch layer to assign tasks from one layer to another, such as input and output (I/O) flows. The I/O flows can be assigned to particular computing resources of a layer based on a weighted moving average of performance data for the layer. When traffic is high, the assignment can include random assignment to some or all of the computing resources in the layer. The I/O flows can be split between read-intensive and write-intensive flows, with more read-intensive flows being assigned based on a pick ratio.

  • Patent number: 12235817
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improved point querying of a database. The index values are separated from data and retained in cache memory to allow access without requiring a disk input/output (I/O) operation and thereby having less latency resulting from such disk I/O operations. The index values can be compressed using an algorithm such as Crit-Bit-Trie to allow storage of the index values in limited cache memory space. The index values can be selected for storage according to a least recently used approach when cache memory is insufficient to store all index values to maintain a hit rate for the cached portion and reduce the disk I/O operations.

  • Publication number: 20240403285
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for providing interpretability for multivariate time-series data anomaly detection. The multivariate time-series data anomaly detection is performed, through a multivariate time-series data anomaly detection model, for a multivariate time-series data formed by multiple time-series data. An anomaly detection result indicating at least an anomaly period is obtained from the model. An anomaly period correlation metric of the multiple time-series data in the anomaly period is determined. A trace-back period correlation metric of the multiple time-series data in a trace-back period before the anomaly period is determined. At least one time-series data pair having abnormal correlation in the anomaly period is identified from the multiple time-series data, based on a difference between the anomaly period correlation metric and the trace-back period correlation metric.
