Abstract: Intelligent memory brokering for multiple process instances, such as relational databases (e.g., SQL servers), reclaims memory based on value, thereby minimizing cost across instances. An exemplary solution includes: based at least on a trigger event, determining a memory profile for each of a plurality of process instances at a computing node; determining an aggregate memory profile, the aggregate memory profile indicating a memory unit cost for each of a plurality of memory units; determining a count of memory units to be reclaimed; identifying, based at least on the aggregate memory profile and the count of memory units to be reclaimed, a count of memory units to be reclaimed within each process instance so that a total cost is minimized to reclaim the determined count; and communicating, to each process instance having identified memory units to be reclaimed, a count of memory units to be reclaimed within the process instance.

Abstract: Techniques for differential overbooking on a cloud database. These techniques may include determining a reservation amount of a multi-tenant resource for a first service of a based upon an overbooking characteristic of the first service, and determining that a total usage value of the multi-tenant resource by a plurality of services is greater than a threshold value. In addition, the techniques may include determining a service usage value of the multi-tenant resource by the first service, determining a first overage value of the first service based on the service usage value and the reservation amount, and performing a resource reclamation process over the multi-tenant resource based on the first overage value of the first service.

Abstract: A solution is disclosed for memory management of serverless databases that includes: based at least on detecting a trigger event, determining whether memory is to be reclaimed; based at least on determining that memory is to be reclaimed, determining an amount of memory to be reclaimed; identifying memory to be reclaimed; and reclaiming the identified memory. Disclosed solutions are flexible, enabling customization of the aggressiveness and manner of memory reclamation. This permits users to specify a tailored balance point between performance and cost, for arrangements that bill users based on resource usage (e.g., memory consumed by a serverless database). In some examples, users specify a ramp-down parameter that is used to determine how much memory can be evicted in a particular reclamation event, time intervals (or another criteria) for triggering a reclamation event, and a definition for whether a cache is active.

Abstract: Described herein are technologies relating to computing resource allocation among multiple tenants. Each tenant may have a respective absolute reservation for rate-based computing resources, which is independent of computing resource reservations of other tenants. The multiple tenants vie for the rate-based computing resources, and tasks are scheduled based upon which tenants submit the tasks and the resource reservations of such tenants.

Abstract: Architecture that enables a Database-as-a-Service (DaaS) to auto-scale container sizes on behalf of tenants. An abstraction is provided that enables tenants to reason about monetary budget and query latency, rather than resource provisioning. An auto-scaling module automatically determines a container size for a subsequent billing interval based on telemetry that comprises latencies (e.g., waits), resource utilizations, and available budget, for example. A set of robust signals are derived from database engine telemetry and combined to significantly improve accuracy of resource demand estimation for database workloads. In a more specific implementation, resource demands can be estimated for arbitrary SQL (structured query language) workloads in a relational database management system (RDBMS).

Abstract: Various technologies that facilitate performance of a data finding data (DFD) search are described herein. A user specifies entities, for example, by entering the entities into a query field, selecting the entities from a computer-executable application, or the like. The user further specifies an attribute of the entities that is of interest. A query is constructed based upon the entities and the attribute, and a search for tables is performed based upon the entities and the attribute. Values of the attribute for the selected entities are identified in a table, and the values of the attribute are returned.

Abstract: A set expansion system is described herein that improves precision, recall, and performance of prior set expansion methods for large sets of data. The system maintains high precision and recall by 1) identifying the quality of particular lists and applying that quality through a weight, 2) allowing for the specification or negative examples in a set of seeds to reduce the introduction of bad entities into the set, and 3) applying a cutoff to eliminate lists that include a low number of positive matches. The system may perform multiple passes to first generate a good candidate result set and then refine the set to find a set with highest quality. The system may also apply Map Reduce or other distributed processing techniques to allow calculation in parallel. Thus, the system efficiently expands large concept sets from a potentially small set of initial seeds from readily available web data.
