Abstract: Systems and methods are directed toward collecting, aggregating, arbitrating, and transmitting data streams from one or more different source locations. An intermediary system may be positioned between a central controller and a variety of source locations to receive data streams from the different source locations along independent data connections. The intermediary system may identify information for transport to a central controller along a separate connection while delaying or otherwise managing the remaining incoming data streams. Upon determining transmission is complete, the intermediary system may then select another data stream for processing while continuing to delay or manage the remaining incoming data streams.

Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described for resource allocation in a hybrid distributed computational environment. An example system segments a received task into multiple sub-tasks. Upon partitioning the task, each sub-task is assigned to the appropriate computational resource (e.g., CPU, GPU, or QPU), enabling parallel execution of multiple sub-tasks. Both task partitioning and computational resource determination is determined using a machine learning model. Additionally, the machine learning model may continuously monitor the execution of each sub-task by receiving resource utilization information and performance metrics associated with the execution of each sub-task. The resource utilization information and performance metrics may then be used to update the machine learning model.

Abstract: Approaches presented herein provide for the management of power supplied to server trays, such as allowing for power cycling of individual server trays in a server rack powered by a DC busbar. In at least one embodiment, a timer circuit may be triggered by a power cycling command to prevent power from a power source, such as a busbar, to be provided to processing circuitry within a server tray of a server rack, except the timer circuit. The power can be caused be no longer available to the processing circuitry, ending operation of logical operations of the processing circuitry. After a period of time, the timer circuit can generate a signal to cause the power from the power source to be made available to the processing circuitry, allowing for resumed operation. At least a minimum amount of capacitance may be discharged from the processing circuitry during the period of time.
