Abstract: A method and associated systems for a workload-aware thin-provisioning system that allocates physical storage to virtual resources from pools of physical storage volumes. The system receives constraints that limit the amount of storage that can be allocated from each pool and the total workload that can be directed to each pool. It also receives lists of previous workloads and allocations associated with each volume at specific times in the past. The system then predicts future workloads and allocation requirements for each volume by regressing linear equations derived from the received data. If the predicted values indicate that a pool will at a future time violate a received constraint, the system computes the minimum costs to move each volume of the offending pool to a less-burdened pool. It then selects the lowest-cost combination of volume and destination pool and then moves the selected volume to the selected pool.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes receiving a data object from a first application running on a computing device, a unique identifier (ID) of the data object assigned by the first application, and an access permission for the data object from the first application. The computer-implemented method also includes storing the data object, the unique ID, and the access permission in a data repository in a data distributor layer on the computing device. The computer-implemented method also includes receiving, at an access controller layer of the computing device, a request for the data object from a second application, the request including the unique ID, and retrieving, by the access controller layer, the data object from the data distributor layer using the unique ID in response to the request. The computer-implemented method includes providing, by the access controller layer, the data object to the second application.

Abstract: Semiconductor structures formed with annealing for use in the fabrication of optoelectronic devices. The semiconductor structures can include a substrate, a nucleation layer and a buffer layer. The nucleation layer and the buffer layer can be epitaxially grown and then annealed. The temperature of the annealing of the nucleation layer and the buffer layer is greater than the temperature of the epitaxial growth of the layers. The annealing reduces the dislocation density in any subsequent layers that are added to the semiconductor structures. A desorption minimizing layer epitaxially grown on the buffer layer can be used to minimize desorption during the annealing of the layer which also aids in curtailing dislocation density and cracks in the semiconductor structures.
