  • Genetic programming based compression determination
    Patent number: 11038528
    Abstract: Techniques for genetic programming based compression determination are described herein. An aspect includes adding a first plurality of randomly generated compression algorithms to a first set of compression algorithms. Another aspect includes determining a respective mutated version of each of the first plurality of randomly generated compression algorithms. Another aspect includes adding the determined mutated versions to the first set of compression algorithms. Another aspect includes evaluating and ranking the first set of compression algorithms based on respective achieved degrees of compression.

  • Automated nondisruptive merge of management systems
    Patent number: 10652093
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes generating a new management application based on a first management application, where the first management application operates a first management system. A first set of resources of the first management system are assigned to the new management application, where the first set of resources support a first request server and a first worker server. A new worker server of the new management system is started, where the new worker server utilizes the first set of resources. The first request server is instructed to send a first set of future requests of the first request server to the new worker server. The first request server is further instructed to redirect a remainder of the future requests of the first request server to a new request server of the new management application. The new management application operates a new management system based on the first management system.
