Abstract: A system may include multiple software components of a software application running on multiple nodes in a distributed computing system, a patch execution server including a patch build server including a structured patch execution module connected to the distributed computing system via a network. The patch execution module receives an uploaded patch, a patch definition file, and a workflow template from a global patch repository. Further, the patch execution module creates a patch definition file for the patch using an associated patch master file, an associated build definition file, and an associated product definition file. Furthermore, the patch execution module creates a workflow template using the patch definition file and the patch. Also, the patch execution module creates a workflow file using node information associated with the multiple nodes and the workflow template.

Abstract: User equipment includes one or more antennas, a receiver coupled to the one or more antennas, and processing circuitry coupled to the receiver and configured to cause the user equipment to receive downlink signals at each communication cycle using a predetermined beam in a beam time slot. Based on processed downlink signals and other relevant information the user equipment may determine a desired beam for the next communication cycle. If the desired beam is the same as the predetermined beam, the user equipment may continue using the predetermined beam at the next communication cycle. If the desired beam is different from the predetermined beam, the user equipment may switch to the desired beam at the next communication cycle. In this way, the user equipment may continue tracking a desired beam to maintain reliable data communications with a communication node.

Abstract: A method of reducing latency in communication of data packets comprising the steps of: receiving a data packet from a first device; determining whether the addition of the data packet results in the current number of data packets stored in all data queues exceeds a global threshold limit, where if the addition of the data packet results in the number of data packets stored not exceeding the global threshold limit then (i) allocate the data packet to a queueing group based on a predetermined factor; (ii) determine whether the addition of the data packets results in the number of data packets stored in the data queues of the allocated queueing group exceeds a local threshold limit. However, if the addition of the data packet results in the number of data packets stored not exceeding the local threshold limit then allocate the data packet to a data queue in the allocated queueing group based on the predetermined factor.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, are described for performing asymmetric data communication at a host-device interface of a system. The methods include identifying devices coupled to a host of the system and generating a system topology that identifies a connectivity of the devices and identifies bus lanes that enable data transfers at the system. The host determines that a first connection between the host and a first device of the multiple devices has an asymmetric bandwidth requirement. The host configures a set of bus lanes of a data bus connecting the first device and the host to allocate a different number of the bus lanes to data egress from the host than to data ingress to the host. The bus lanes are configured to allocate the differing number of bus lanes based on the asymmetric bandwidth requirement of the first connection.

Abstract: Described are systems, methods, and techniques for collecting, analyzing, processing, and storing time series data and for evaluating and dynamically estimating a resolution of one or more streams of data points and updating an output resolution. Responsive to receiving a stream of data points, a data resolution can be derived and an output resolution can be set to a first value. When a change to the data resolution is detected, the output resolution can be changed, modifying a frequency at which output data points are generated and/or transmitted. In some instances, a detector can be implemented to trigger an alert responsive to ingested data points corresponding with triggering parameters. An output resolution for the detector can be dynamically modified based on dynamically detecting a change to the data resolution of the stream of data.
