  • Providing resources using predicted size values
    Patent number: 11372679
    Abstract: The subject technology requests information related to usage history metadata from a metadata database. The subject technology receives the requested information from the metadata database, the requested information comprising information related to user demand. The subject technology predicts a size value indicating an amount of computing resources to request for executing a set of queries based on the usage history metadata. The subject technology determines, during a prefetch window of time within a first period of time, a current size of freepool of computing resources. The subject technology, in response to the current size of the freepool of computing resources being smaller than the predicted size value, sends a request for additional computing resources to include in the freepool of computing resources.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 28, 2022
    Assignee: Snowflake Inc.
    Inventors: Qiming Jiang, Orestis Kostakis, Abdul Munir, Prayag Chandran Nirmala, Jeffrey Rosen

  • Adaptive freepool size prediction
    Patent number: 11138038
    Abstract: The subject technology determines usage history metadata. The subject technology predicts a size value indicating an amount of computing resources to request for executing a set of queries based at least in part on the usage history metadata. The subject technology determines, during a prefetch window of time within a first period of time, a current size of a freepool of computing resources. The subject technology, in response to the current size of the freepool of computing resources being smaller than the predicted size value, sends a request for additional computing resources to include in the freepool of computing resources. The subject technology receives an indication that the request for additional computing resources was granted. The subject technology performs an operation to include the additional computing resources in the freepool of computing resources.
