  • Patent number: 10834226
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, systems, and computer program products for container communication. In an embodiment, it is determined whether a message is going to a container on a same machine or to a container on a machine at a geographically different location. If it is determined that the message is going to a container on a machine at a geographically different location, then it is determined whether a predetermined threshold has been reached. If it is determined that the predetermined threshold has been reached, then the container from a first machine is migrated to the container on the container on the machine at the geographically different location. A data tracking structure is used to visually represent the migration of containers to other machines.

  • Patent number: 10678617
    Abstract: The method includes identifying, by one or more computer processors, a first container with first software stack and a valid multipath configuration, wherein the first software stack is a first path of the valid multipath configuration. The method further includes creating, by one or more computer processors, a second container, wherein the second container has the same rules as the first container. The method further includes creating, by one or more computer processes, a second software stack in the second container, wherein the software stack is a redundant software stack of the first software stack. The method further includes creating, by one or more computer processors, a second path from the first container to the second software stack, wherein the second path bypasses the first software stack.

  • Patent number: 10169104
    Abstract: As disclosed herein, a method, executed by a computer, includes comparing a current power consumption profile for a computing task with an historical power consumption profile, receiving a request for a computing resource, granting the request if the historical power consumption profile does not suggest a pending peak in the current power consumption profile or the historical power consumption profile indicates persistent consumption at a higher power level, and denying the request for the computing resource if the historical power consumption profile suggests a pending peak in the current power consumption profile and the historical power consumption profile indicates temporary consumption at the higher power level. Denying the request may include initiating an allocation timeout and subsequently ending the allocation timeout in response to a drop in a power consumption below a selected level. A computer system and computer program product corresponding to the method are also disclosed herein.

  • Patent number: 9891964
    Abstract: As disclosed herein a method, executed by a computer, for providing improved multi-protocol traffic processing includes receiving a data packet, determining if a big processor is activated, deactivating a little processor and activating the big processor if the big processor is not activated and an overflow queue is full, and deactivating the big processor and activating the little processor if the big processor is activated and a current throughput for the big processor is below a first threshold or a sustained throughput for the big processor remains below a second threshold. The big and little processors may be co-located on a single integrated circuit. An overflow queue, managed with a token bucket algorithm, may be used to enable the little processor to handle short burst of data packet traffic. A computer program product and an apparatus corresponding to the described method are also disclosed herein.
