Patent number: 9984039Abstract: Efficient prediction of trajectories of pollutants in a fluid is accomplished by automatic activation and deactivation of sub-domains within the mesh representing the body of fluid in question. Activation and deactivation are triggered by the transport characteristics of the pollutant, that is, the sub-domains are activated as the pollutant enters a sub-domain and deactivated as the pollutant exits a sub-domain.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2014Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Emanuele Ragnoli, Sergiy Zhuk

Publication number: 20180137222Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for minimizing uncertainty envelopes in trajectories of evolving ensemble members. The mechanism generates a trajectory forecast of each member object of an ensemble based on an initial state-space and a model for predicting trajectories of the member objects to generate a plurality of trajectory forecasts. Each of the plurality of trajectory forecasts has an individual uncertainty envelope. The mechanism applies a classification algorithm on the plurality of trajectory forecasts to identify at least one group of member objects having similar trajectory forecasts, generates a reduced ensemble of member objects including the identified group of member objects, and reconfigures the state-space and the model for predicting trajectories. The mechanism generates an updated trajectory forecast of each member object of the reduced ensemble based on the reconfigured state-space and the reconfigured model for predicting trajectories of the member objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2017Publication date: May 17, 2018Inventors: Fearghal O'Donncha, Emanuele Ragnoli, Frank Suits, Sergiy Zhuk

Patent number: 9886195Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for analyzing data from a monitored system. During operation, the system identifies a difference between a performance of an application and a service-level agreement (SLA) of the application. Next, the system determines a correlation between the performance of the application and a disk input/output (I/O) performance of a data storage device used by the application. When the correlation exceeds a threshold, the system outputs a recommendation to migrate the application between the data storage device and a different type of data storage device.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2016Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Zhenyun Zhuang, Sergiy Zhuk, Haricharan K.

Patent number: 9823875Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus are provided for performing a transparent hybrid data storage scheme in which data are stored as blocks distributed among one or more flash-based storage devices (e.g., solid state drives) and one or more magnetic storage devices (e.g., magnetic disk drives). Files larger than a given size (e.g., 1 MB) are segmented into blocks of that size and stored on one or more devices; blocks of one file may be stored on devices of different types. Periodically, a utility function calculates utility values for each of some or all stored blocks based on frequency of access to the block, frequency of access of a particular type (e.g., random, sequential), a preference regarding where to store the block or the corresponding file, and/or other factors. Blocks having the highest utility values are subject to migration between devices of different types and/or the same type (e.g., for load-balancing).Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2015Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: LinkedIn CoporationInventors: Zhenyun Zhuang, Sergiy Zhuk, Haricharan K.

Publication number: 20170147778Abstract: A system for estimating fractional flow reserve (FFR) includes a front end application to receive image frames from an imaging system to develop a model of a vasculature system based on an observed concentration time profile at locations within the model using contrast dye in the vasculature system and movement of the vasculature system. A graphics processing unit is configured to represent a computed concentration time profile in the vasculature system using a Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) to generate a representation of the vasculature system. A dynamic controller tunes a velocity field based on a mismatch between the observed concentration time profile and the computed concentration time profile at the locations within the model to obtain a best estimate of the velocity field to perform a FFR measurement.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2015Publication date: May 25, 2017Inventors: Darcy Beurle, Colin Compas, Stephen Moore, Christine Schieber, Sergiy Zhuk
