  • Resource conservation for containerized systems
    Patent number: 11907762
    Abstract: A method for conserving resources in a distributed system includes receiving an event-criteria list from a resource controller. The event-criteria list includes one or more events watched by the resource controller and the resource controller controls at least one target resource and is configured to respond to events from the event-criteria list that occur. The method also includes determining whether the resource controller is idle. When the resource controller is idle, the method includes terminating the resource controller, determining whether any event from the event-criteria list occurs after terminating the resource controller, and, when at least one event from the event-criteria list occurs after terminating the resource controller, recreating the resource controller.

  • Concurrent in-memory data publication and storage system
    Patent number: 9477516
    Abstract: A method includes allocating a first memory location in a non-transitory data store in communication with a computing device and writing data to the first memory location when a first write transaction executes on the non-transitory data store. The method further includes executing one or more read transactions on the first memory location after completion of the first write transaction and incrementing a first pointer counter upon completion of the first write transaction and for each read transaction executing on the first memory location. The method allocates a second memory location in the non-transitory data store and writes updated data to the second memory location when a second write transaction executes on the non-transitory data store to update the data. The first pointer counter decrements and the second pointer counter increments upon completion of the second write transaction. The first memory location de-allocates when the first pointer counter is zero.
