Patent number: 11212341Abstract: A source IT-infrastructure hosts a composite application including multiple functional modules connected to each other via communication links. An abstract pattern includes first nodes and first links representing the functional modules and communication links and lacks resource-related data enabling a deployment engine to instantiate a resource for providing a runtime environment. A target IT-infrastructure has assigned a resource catalog including, for each resource available in the target IT-infrastructure, a specification of the resource's capabilities, and includes second nodes and links, each second node being a representation of one or more of the resources of the target IT-infrastructure and including an indication of the capabilities of one or more resources represented by the second node. The first nodes and links of the abstract pattern are iteratively supplemented by the second nodes and second links.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2020Date of Patent: December 28, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Utz Bacher, Einar Lueck, Stefan Raspl, Thomas Spatzier

Patent number: 9418234Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to providing isolated entropy elements for a virtual machine to increase entropy in a computing environment. At least one virtual machine is deployed on a hypervisor. The hypervisor generates entropy elements based on triggers related to a virtual machine. Identifiers are assigned to the entropy elements based on the triggers and the virtual machine. Use of the entropy elements is restricted for the virtual machine based on the assigned identifiers. The increase in entropy through providing isolated entropy elements for a virtual machine deployed on a hypervisor reduces the success of external attacks on data residing within the computing environment.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2014Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: GLOBALFOUNDRIES INC.Inventors: Utz Bacher, Einar Lueck, Stefan Raspl, Thomas Spatzier

Patent number: 9231816Abstract: A method and computer system are provided for distributing a plurality of data portions from a server system to one or more client systems. The method includes receiving one or more first requests at the server, each first request being submitted by a client system and including a portion identifier, wherein a portion identifier is assigned to each data portion; in response to receiving the first request(s), transmitting a list of chunk identifiers to the requesting client systems, wherein the list of chunk identifiers specifies the data chunks whose meta-data includes the portion identifier contained in the first request; and transmitting some or all data chunks of a data chunk library to each of the requesting client systems. At the requesting client system, the client specifically selects the data chunks of the transmitted data chunks which are specified by the received list of chunk identifiers.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2013Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Utz Bacher, Einar Lueck, Stefan Raspl, Thomas Spatzier

Patent number: 9053053Abstract: Efficiently determining identical pieces of memory within a computer memory area, which is occupied by a virtual machine manager hosting multiple guests and the computer memory area being logically separated into memory pages of a unique size. Each guest is inspected for its structural characteristics by the virtual machine manager. The structural characteristics of each guest are compared by the virtual machine manager, wherein memory regions of guests having a similar structure are identified; and the identical memory pages are identified by the virtual machine manager by comparing hash values of memory pages located within memory regions of guests having a similar structure, wherein identical memory pages are determined by comparing hash values calculated over the contents of the memory pages.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2011Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Utz Bacher, Einar Lueck, Stefan Raspl, Thomas Spatzier

Patent number: 8566390Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for improving the client-Servlet communication in the World-Wide-Web (Web) without changing the existing communication protocol, and without changing the client. The Servlet identifies missing information not included in the initial client's web-browser request for retrieving the information desired, where the Servlet automatically opens another communication path for providing the missing information to the Servlet by making use of the HTTP-response functionality of the initial HTTP-request. The other communication path is supported by a further Servlet functionality component.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2006Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yannick Saillet, Stefan Raspl

Patent number: 8495650Abstract: A method for determining a number of threads to maximize system utilization. The method begins with determining a first value which corresponds to the current system utilization. Next the method determines a second value which corresponds to the current number of threads in the system. Next the method determines a third value which corresponds to the number of processor cores in the system. Next the method receives a fourth value from an end user which corresponds to the optimal system utilization the end user wishes to achieve. Next the method determines a fifth value which corresponds to the number of threads necessary to achieve the optimal system utilization value received from the end user. Finally, the method sends the fifth value to all running applications.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2012Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Stefan Raspl, Dirk Seider

Patent number: 8269789Abstract: A method and system of the present invention determines the performance values of components of a flow by taking the interactions between the components into account, and visualizes the performance values on a graphical user interface during a flow design phase. Thus, interactions between the components of the flow become transparent to the user and bottlenecks can be identified immediately.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2006Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Stefan Raspl, Yannick Saillet
