Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for dynamically managing access to cross-cloud services. Provided are access control mechanisms for controlling and/or managing access to cross-cloud services offered by and between one or more cloud service providers. The techniques include detecting that a request for a cloud service has been received by a first component of a first cloud environment of a first cloud service provider and receiving an indication that deployment of the cloud service is permitted. In response to receiving the indication, a second component of the first cloud environment generates an instruction for implementing the cloud service within a second cloud environment and causes deployment of the cloud service within the second cloud environment based on the instruction.

Abstract: Facilitating access to a PCIe configuration space of a PCIe function associated with a computer comprises receiving by a PCIe controller EP in the computer over a PCIe link a configuration request from a remote computer to access a PCIe configuration space. The PCIe controller then communicates over a communication fabric the configuration request to a dispatcher of the computer. The dispatcher determines from the configuration request, a PCIe function and operation indicated in the configuration request which is used to identify a respective subsystem to execute the configuration request and the configuration request is communicated to the respective subsystem based on the identification. The subsystem then executes the configuration request to facilitate access to the PCIe configuration space of the PCIe function by the remote computer and sharing of the PCIe function with the remote computer.

Abstract: Execution of client code in a shared infrastructure comprises instantiating a container manager to manage containers and routers configured to receive calls requesting execution of the client code. The container manager pre-initializes a plurality of containers and registered the containers in a database to indicate that the plurality of containers are available. A router receives a call to execute the client code and selects an available first container identified in the database. The call is routed to the selected container and the status of the container is updated to in-use to prevent another router from selecting the container. Responsive to the selected container processing the call, the router receives a response from the container and returns the response to the caller. The containers then marked for deletion in the database. The container manager then deletes any of the containers marked for deletion to prevent the containers from processing subsequent calls.

Abstract: Database systems and methods are provided for automatically generating records at a database system in a configurable and customizable manner. One method involves using a key value associated with a configuration to identify related records at a database system associated with the key value and identify configuration metadata associated with the configuration at the database system. The method continues by providing a graphical user interface (GUI) display at a client device coupled to the database system over a network, where the GUI display includes a first region including a first subset of the records grouped into a first group based on the configuration metadata and a first common field value and a second region including a second subset of the records grouped into a second group based on the configuration metadata and a second common field value.

Abstract: Database systems and methods are provided for managing related records using a tiered hierarchical arrangement that supports asynchronous and independent events with respect to related records. A method involves automatically generating a child record having a field value based on configuration data associated with a parent record, automatically updating a second field value for a summarization field associated with the parent record in response to automatically generating the child record, and after automatically updating the second field value, identifying a group record that is a parent of the parent record based on a second field of the parent record, automatically updating a third value for a second summarization field associated with the group record based at least in part on the second field value, and providing a graphical representation of the group record including a graphical representation of the third value for the second summarization field.

Abstract: Technologies are provided for a cloud computing platform (CCP) to request a transaction via a third-party vendor and receive a transaction response result of that transaction from another cloud computing platform having a serverless capability such that at least part of the transaction occurs at the other cloud computing platform. A transaction request having a specific transaction type (TT) is sent to an adapter, which sends another call with the transaction request to the public cloud. The specific TT corresponds to a particular serverless function (SF) of the third-party vendor. A particular template t corresponds to the specific TT. The particular template is a code statement that follows a standard code definition written in the proprietary programming language of the CCP. The other cloud computing platform invokes the particular SF to generate a transaction response that is consumable by the CCP.

Abstract: A grease gun comprising a body having first and second chambers, first and second pistons within those first and second chambers, primary and secondary grease channels, a grease outlet and an actuator, is provided. Actuation of the actuator by a user causes first and second pistons to move within first and second chambers. The body may further comprise a pressure sensitive spool which allows the grease gun to move from a high flow/low pressure operation to a high pressure/low flow operation when there is a grease blockage that causes an increase in the pressure in the body.

Abstract: A request for a transaction between a client system and a server system may be processed. The transaction may be associated with transmission of data between the client system and the server system. The data may be encrypted using a transient encryption key to form encrypted data. The transient encryption key may be a synced-clock random number configured to automatically change when a designated time interval elapses. The encrypted data may be transmitted between the client system and the server system.

Abstract: Performing a Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) with increased resolution by applying an adaptive left shift to signed binary integers of an input of a radix kernel and adaptive right shift to signed binary integers of an output of a butterfly of the radix kernel which is based on a leading bit count of the input. The adaptive left shift increases a resolution of the radix kernel computation and the adaptive right shift determines a number of bits of the increased resolution preserved in an output of the radix kernel.

Abstract: A self-healing build pipeline architecture for a software application build job across a distributed computer platform comprises a public API that receives configuration data describing the build job, stores the configuration data in a decentralized database, serves requests to/from a pipeline tracker API, and stores states of build pipelines during the build job. The decentralized database stores the configuration data and a project identifier for the build, and metadata regarding states of the build pipelines collected across the distributed computer platform. The pipeline tracker API runs local to the build environment in the distributed computer platform and sends a build status to public API for updating the decentralized database. For any failures in any of the build pipelines, the state is retrieved from the decentralize database and a new build pipeline is triggered locally that resumes from the failed state to provide a self-healing build pipeline architecture.
