Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for accurate evaluation of a financial portfolio. Techniques described herein may include an apparatus comprising: a processing circuit; and an approximate computing engine, executed on the processing circuit, operative to process data items corresponding to prices of funds, compute a Net Asset Value (NAV) based on the data items, determine a precision associated with the Net Asset Value (NAV), and based upon a precision metric, determine whether to use the Net Asset Value (NAV) in a business decision. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for guaranteed quality of service (QoS) in cloud computing environments. A workload related to an immutable log describing a transaction may be received. A determination is made based on the immutable log that a first compute node stores at least one data element to process the transaction. Utilization levels of computing resources of the first compute node may be determined. Utilization levels of links connecting the first compute node to the fabric may be determined. A determination may be made, based on the utilization levels, that processing the workload on the first compute node satisfies one or more QoS parameters specified in a service level agreement (SLA). The workload may be scheduled for processing on the first compute node based on the determination that processing the workload on the first compute node satisfies the one or more QoS parameters specified in the SLA.
