Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally directed to assigning virtual machine (VM) workloads to groupings/partitions of accelerator resources. In an example, a processing resource of a host system maintains: (i) a resource data structure containing resource utilization information for each of one or more accelerators associated with the host system; and (ii) a group data structure containing information regarding each group of multiple groups of one or more virtual functions (VFs) of the one or more accelerators that has been assigned for use by a respective VM of multiple VMs running on a virtual machine monitor (VMM) of the processing resource. A request to deploy a workload associated with a first VM is received. Responsive to the request, the workload is assigned to a VF of a group of the multiple groups determined to have resource capacity available to satisfy expected resource utilization of the workload.

Abstract: Zero trust and micro-segmentation techniques may be collectively used to enhance network security. To establish, refine, and enforce a zero-trust least-privileged policy, the network may be segmented to put each device of the network into a respective network of one, which forces all network traffic to pass through a zero-trust gatekeeper. The gatekeeper may then monitor and analyze the traffic to establish, refine, and enforce the zero-trust least-privileged policy, which reduces network access to only a limited set of network actions and/or paths. Using the gatekeeper, network traffic may be monitored to progressively establish the policy as well as to continually refine the policy. Recommended actions may be determined based on the analysis of the monitored network traffic and provided to the user to allow user feedback on the communication rules of zero-trust policy.

Abstract: A novel method of treating diseases characterized by high PAI-1 is presented. Administering a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of genistein was found to inhibit PAI-1 promotor activity and decrease PAI-1 levels to treat diseases such as asthma, which exhibit increased PAI-1 levels. Genotyping the patient can be performed prior to administration to detect a 4G/5G polymorphism as patients having a 4G genotype have better response to the genistein treatment. The composition may be comprised of a therapeutically effective amount of genistein derived naturally from soybeans or synthetically produced and optionally present in nanoparticle form.
