Abstract: An estimated time to migrate a VM from a source hypervisor to a target hypervisor is calculated. The estimated time is compared to a threshold time and based on the estimated time meeting the threshold time, a migration of the VM from the source hypervisor to the target hypervisor via the network is initiated. Based on the estimated time not meeting the threshold time, it is determined whether an additional path can be added to the network between the source hypervisor and the target hypervisor. If an additional path cannot be added to the network, a migration of the VM from the source hypervisor to the target hypervisor via the network is initiated. If an additional path can be added to the network, the additional path is added and the migration via the network is initiated.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for scheduler penalty for swapping activity. Exemplary embodiments include a memory management method, including identifying a first process from an active queue, identifying a second process from the active queue, tracking attributes associated with the first and second processes, determining whether at least one of the first and second processes are constraining system memory and penalizing at least one of the first and second processes in response to at least one of the first and second processes constraining the system memory.

Abstract: A computing system is provided and includes recording media relative to which input/output (I/O) operations are executable, and a processor, disposed in signal communication with the recording media, which is configured to execute the I/O operations and to evaluate power requirements associated with executions of the I/O operations relative to each individual recording medium. The processor includes a computer-readable medium having a set of instructions stored thereon, which, when executed, cause the processor to schedule the executions of the I/O operations relative to each individual recording medium or to refuse the executions of the I/O operations in accordance with the evaluated power requirements.

Abstract: A computer readable medium is provided and has instructions stored thereon, which, when executed cause a processor of a computing system to execute a method of controlling the computing system. The method includes iteratively running a workload over a period of time, the workload being defined by software components of a software repository of the computing system, measuring power consumption associated with the running of the workload with each iteration and storing data indicative of the power consumption, analyzing the data and identifying, from a result of the analysis, power consumption changes over the period of time, generating a regression profile based on the power consumption changes, and managing the software components in accordance with the regression profile.

Abstract: A dynamically reconfigurable touch screen system includes a first display having a first touch screen, a second display having a second touch screen, the second display being operatively connected to the first display, at least one sensor operatively associated with one of the first and second displays. The at least one sensor detects a physical orientation of the one of the first and second touch screens. The dynamically reconfigurable touch screen system further includes a controller linked to the at least one sensor. The controller sets a display of the other of the first and second touch screens based on the physical orientation of the one of the first and second touch screens.

Abstract: Using an authentication server to discover one or more additional authentication servers and to dynamically establish a trust relationship with the one or more additional authentication servers. The authentication server searches for the one or more additional authentication servers to discover one or more sources of authentication tokens, and inspects an incoming authentication request from the one or more additional authentication servers to determine if the request is carrying one or more authentication tokens from a newly discovered realm. Once the authentication server determines a newly discovered realm to be trustworthy, the authentication server receives a directory schema from the newly discovered realm and compares the received directory schema with a known directory schema retrieved by the authentication server to identify an intersection of the received directory schema and the known directory schema.
