Abstract: A system can provide a visual representation of an inventory of data entities for a distributed computing system. Inventory data including cost and operational data for data entities such as data centers, servers, and virtual machines, can be converted into a format file. The format file can be used to create a tree of nodes and node summaries corresponding to the data entities. A user interface can display hierarchical and isolated views of the tree revealing parent child relationships between data entities within a computing system infrastructure. Node summaries including cost and utilization data can be displayed to reveal how specific sub-costs such as labor and licensing, are driven by data entities in one level of the infrastructure and pushed to respective parent or child data entities in other levels. Views of the tree can be used to determine areas of inefficiency or reduced value within the computing system.

Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for optimizing licensing costs for a server. In one example, at least two licenses (a first license and a second license) are available for the server. The first license can cost more than the second license but allow for a greater number of VMs to run on the server. The example method can include determining whether the server is running the first license and the number of VMs running on the server. If the server is using the first license but the number of VMs running on the server is less than or equal to the number potentially allowed by the second license, an action can be taken for changing the server's license subscription. For example, the method can include displaying a GUI element or sending a message that indicates the cost savings associated with changing the licenses.

Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for processing image data using one or more neural networks. For example, a patch of raw image data can be obtained. The patch can include a subset of pixels of a frame of raw image data, and the frame can be captured using one or more image sensors. The patch of raw image data includes a single color component for each pixel of the subset of pixels. At least one neural network can be applied to the patch of raw image data to determine a plurality of color component values for one or more pixels of the subset of pixels. A patch of output image data can then be generated based on application of the at least one neural network to the patch of raw image data. The patch of output image data includes a subset of pixels of a frame of output image data, and also includes the plurality of color component values for one or more pixels of the subset of pixels of the frame of output image data.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to updating at least one attributeof contact information retrieved from multiplecrowd-sourced/shared/private contact directories, and broadcasting the updated at least one attribute to the multiplecrowd-sourced/shared/private contact directories.

Abstract: Systems and methods for group-sourced contacts directories are presented. A first member of a shared contacts directory can add contact information of a second user to the directory. Upon addition of the contact information of the second user, the contacts directory discovery system automatically sends a notification to the second user and provides the second user editing rights to the contact information of the directory. Changes made in the directory is automatically synchronized to the across the user devices associated with the members of the directory.
