  • Publication number: 20250130850
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for scheduling workloads on computing resources using a high priority queue and a low priority queue. The high priority queue maintains pending high priority workloads to be scheduled for execution, and the low priority queue maintains pending low priority workloads to be scheduled for execution. The computing system as described in this specification schedules the pending low priority workloads for execution by utilizing computing resources provided by the system only when the high priority queue is empty.

  • Patent number: 12267234
    Abstract: Transmitting sampled flows in datagrams to a collector includes adding entropy to the headers of the UDP packets that encapsulate the datagrams. The entropy, for example, can be a timestamp associated with a sampled data packet contained in the datagram. Each UDP packet is transmitted on a data patch selected from among a plurality of data paths using at least the UDP header. The entropy in each UDP header serves to spread the transmission of UDP packets across the plurality of data paths.
