Abstract: Certain example embodiments herein relate to techniques for automatically correcting and completing data in sparse datasets. Records in the dataset are divided into groups with properties having similar values. For each group, one or more properties of the records therein that is/are to be ignored is/are identified, based on record distances relative to the records in the group, and distances among values for each of the properties of the records in the respective group. The records in the groups are further divided into sub-groups without regard to the one or more properties that is/are to be ignored. The sub-groups include a smaller and more cohesive set of records. For each sub-group: based on the records therein, predicted values to be applied to values identified as being empty but needing to be filled in are determined; and those predicted values are applied. The corrected/completed dataset is provided as output.

Abstract: A scheme for measuring AC and DC load-line (LL) using voltage and current monitoring apparatus. During calibration for LL measurement, a tested or known workload is executed on a processor or system-on-chip (SoC). The calibration can be done when the processor is first used in a real-time system (customer) scenario, or repeated whenever necessary to compensate silicon aging or other effects that affect the LL values. LL is estimated, determined, and/or calculated for each power supply rail in the processor or SoC. The measured LL is used in calculations that determine the operating voltage of an input voltage regulator (VR) at run time, thereby optimizing the power/performance characteristics of that specific system.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for restoring application services following a service disruption to a computer network. A faster service restoration (FSR) engine identifies one or more services hosting at least one of the services. The FSR engine identifies dependencies between the service and other application services. The FSR engine generates a run list comprising one or more healing scripts for restoring the services in one or more successive phases. Each successive phase is determined based on the dependencies. Each healing script is associated with one of the services and includes instructions for starting, stopping, and restarting the service. The run list is invoked on each of the servers to restore the application.
