  • Compression-based detection of inefficiency in local storage
    Patent number: 9952772
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for detecting and managing inefficiency in local storage. During operation, the system obtains a first snapshot of data in local storage of a computer system, wherein the first snapshot comprises a first set of data elements in the local storage at a first time. Next, the system applies a compression technique to the first snapshot to obtain a first set of inefficiency metrics for the first set of data elements. The system then outputs the first set of inefficiency metrics with additional attributes of the data to improve management of inefficiency in the data.
    Type: Grant

  • Compression-based detection of inefficiency in external services
    Patent number: 9952787
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for detecting and managing inefficiency in external services. During operation, the system obtains a snapshot of a data stream transmitted over an external service from a computer system at a first time. Next, the system applies a compression technique to the snapshot to obtain a set of inefficiency metrics for a set of data elements in the snapshot. The system then outputs the set of inefficiency metrics with additional attributes of the data stream to improve identification of inefficiency in the data stream.
