  • Publication number: 20170249560
    Abstract: After first installation of an application program on a computing device, the computing devices monitors a behavior of the application program for a period of time and then builds a behavior profile of the application program from the behavior. After the period of time has elapsed, such as specified period of time, the computing device may prevent the application program from deviating from the behavior profile. After the period of time has elapsed, such as when an update or patch to the application program has been applied or installed, the computing device may continue to monitor the behavior of the application program, and in response to determining that the behavior of the application program after the period of time deviates from the behavior profile, perform an action with respect to the application program.

  • Publication number: 20170220366
    Abstract: An amount of a hardware resource is assigned to a virtual machine (VM) to be run on a computing device including the hardware resource. The VM is caused to run on the computing device, and usage of the hardware resource by the VM is monitor. In response to determining that the usage of the hardware resource by the VM is less than a threshold, the amount of the hardware resource assigned to the VM is decreased.

  • Publication number: 20170090988
    Abstract: For providing granular quality of service (QoS) for computing resources in a computing system, systems, apparatus, and methods are disclosed. The apparatus includes a processor having a plurality of processor cores and a memory that stores code executable by the processor to identify a thread belonging to a computing process, to identify one or more thread-level tags associated with the thread, to determine a computational requirement of the thread based on the one or more thread-level tags, and to assign the thread to one of the processor cores based on the computational requirement. In certain embodiments, the may include code executable by the processor to allocate hardware resources to the thread based on an intra-process priority, the hardware resources being allocated from a set of hardware resources assigned to the computing process.
