Abstract: Systems and methods include determining whether a CRPS value has been breached in a number of requests for access by an IP address, and dropping the requests for access when the CRPS value has been breached and a UTF value is below a minimum UTF value. The request number matching a RC value when the CRPS value has not been breached is determined. A Turing test is implemented when a) the request number matches the RC value, b) the request number does not match the RC value but the UTF value is below the minimum UTF value, or c) the CRPS value has been breached but the UTF value is not below the minimum UTF value. An investigator computing device implements a rate limit control to the cloud services based on the CRPS value, the RC value, and the UTF value.

Abstract: High performance computing (HPC) and grid computing processing for seismic and reservoir simulation are performed without impacting or losing processing time in case of failures. A Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard is implemented in High Performance Computing (HPC) and grid computing platforms, to avoid the shortcomings of current Message Passing Interface (MPI) communication between computing modules, and provide quality of service (QoS) for such applications. QoS properties of the processing can be controlled.

Abstract: A content-aware congestion control scheme for software MPLS routers enables the MPLS routers to discard packets with less important content when there is congestion in the network. By employing such content-aware congestion control, the overall quality of multimedia content is not significantly affected, enabling graceful degradation of quality using a Wavelet based compression technique. The MPLS router marks wavelet-based compressed multimedia packets as those containing important or less important contents of compressed and encoded frames. Such markings enable the MPLS router to make decisions according to the packet's priority. At times of congestion, this router restricts the rate of outgoing low priority traffic to allow high priority streams to maintain a gracefully degraded QoS for compressed multimedia content.
