Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for implementing self-bias detection based on performance and importance. A disclosed computer implemented method aggregates continuous input data through a K-means clustering algorithm to reduce the number of aggregated sub-group data pairs, enabling a reduced calculation time for computing bias and enhanced performance. The self-bias detection identifies a scale factor and a balance factor of aggregated sub-group data pairs, which indicate the importance of the detected bias.

Abstract: Methods and systems for provisioning resources includes classifying a request for a virtual server instance (VSI) according to resources specified in the request.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for dynamically allocating shared memory among multiple execution threads via use of a dynamically changing memory threshold. A trained machine learning model (MLM) is executed to calculate the memory threshold (MTH) using values of one or more input parameters as input to the MLM. After executing the MLM, a request is received from a requesting execution thread for a requested amount (MR) of the shared memory. In response to the request, the shared memory is distributed among one or more current execution threads currently using the shared memory and the requesting execution thread. The redistributing is performed as a function MTH, MR, MU, and MC, wherein MU is a total amount of the shared memory currently being used by the one or more current execution threads, and wherein MC is a memory capacity of the shared memory.

The calculating is repeated for a plurality of pairs of nodes to obtain a plurality of shutdown intervals. The plurality of shutdown intervals is used in a shutdown of the system components. At least one system component represented by at least one node on a higher node level of the dependency tree is to be shut down prior to at least one other system component represented by at least one other node on a lower node level of the dependency tree.

Arrays of host devices are built, respectively, within a plurality of cloud environments. Data transmission from the data source is received by a first array of host devices of a first cloud environment, and the first array of host devices of the first cloud environment transmits the received data to a second array of host devices of a second cloud environment, and the first array of host devices and the second array of host devices transmit the data to a third array of host devices of a third cloud environment.

Abstract: Computer technology for use in a computer system including a database system including a database management sub-system, a primary database and a secondary database, with the secondary database being maintained at least approximately in synchronization with the primary database over time as changes are made to data of the primary database (for example, a database system that includes disaster recovery (DR) features). A statistics update is performed first on a standby database to determine whether query efficiency and/or query optimization really will be substantially improved by performance of the statistics update. If not, then statistics update on the primary database is postponed until a future time.

Abstract: A method and system for registering images as non-fungible token images include a non-fungible token verifier verifying that an image has not been registered as a registered non-fungible token. Once the image is verified, an object recognizer recognizes objects of the image that are classified into a object queue. A characteristic extractor then extracts one or more characteristics of the queued objects. A non-fungible token denormalizer then denormalizes the image into one or more denormalized images each having denormalization attributes. A uniqueness purifier then inspects objects of each of the denormalized images for characteristics extracted from objects in the queue, where matching characteristics between the objects of the denormalized images and objects of the image define unique parameters. Non-fungible token register then registers the image as a unique non-fungible token image.
