Abstract: Partitions of a hosted computing service may be maintained on a computing node. Processing of requests to access the partition may be limited to constrain capacity utilization to a provisioned amount of capacity reserved for the partition. A second, additional amount of capacity may be associated with the partition and may reflect potential future changes to the provisioned amount of capacity. A sum of provisioned and additional capacities associated with partitions on a computing node may be calculated. The computing node may be ranked, relative to other computing nodes, for maintaining new or relocated partitions based on the sum.

Abstract: A system that implements a scaleable data storage service may maintain tables in a non-relational data store on behalf of clients. Each table may include multiple items. Each item may include one or more attributes, each containing a name-value pair. Attribute values may be scalars or sets of numbers or strings. The system may provide an API usable to request that values of one or more of an item's attributes be updated. An update request may be conditional on expected values of one or more item attributes (e.g., the same or different item attributes). In response to a request to update the values of one or more item attributes, the previous values and/or updated values may be optionally returned for the updated item attributes or for all attributes of an item targeted by an update request. Items stored in tables may be indexed using a simple or composite primary key.

Abstract: Capacity utilization may be controlled by a token-based allocation of input/output capacity. Operations on nested objects may utilize capacity based on factors other than input/output capacity. A capacity utilization model may be used to scale input/output utilization associated with an operation on a nested object so that the scaled input/output utilization correlates to the computing capacity used performing the operation on the nested object. The correlation may be determined to be valid for a range of attributes associated with the operation.

Abstract: A database may store an object comprising a hierarchy of sub-objects. Numeric identifiers may be assigned to names of the sub-objects and used in place of the names when writing the object to storage. Scalar values may be prefixed with length indicators. Collections may be prefixed with counts indicative of the number of elements in the corresponding collection. A portion of the object may be retrieved from storage by traversing a path from the root of the hierarchy to the desired portion. Length and count information may be used to skip over portions of the object during the traversal.

The output interface provides the processed streaming data to be visually presented in one or more data graphs on a display device.

Abstract: A voice quality evaluation method, apparatus, and system comprises an obtained voice data packet is parsed, and a frame content characteristic of the data packet is determined according to a parse result, for example, the frame content characteristic is a silence frame and a voice frame. Then, a voice sequence is divided into statements according to the determined frame content characteristic, and the statements are divided into multiple frame loss events; after non-voice parameters are extracted according to the frame loss events, voice quality of each statement is evaluated according to a preset voice quality evaluation model and according to the non-voice parameters. Finally, voice quality of the entire voice sequence is evaluated according to the voice quality of each statement. By using this solution, prediction precision can be improved significantly, and accuracy of an evaluation result can be improved.

Abstract: A system that provides services to clients may receive and service requests, various ones of which may require different amounts of work. The system may determine whether it is operating in an overloaded or underloaded state based on a current work throughput rate, a target work throughput rate, a maximum request rate, or an actual request rate, and may dynamically adjust the maximum request rate in response. For example, if the maximum request rate is being exceeded, the maximum request rate may be raised or lowered, dependent on the current work throughput rate. If the target or committed work throughput rate is being exceeded, but the maximum request rate is not being exceeded, a lower maximum request rate may be proposed. Adjustments to the maximum request rate may be made using multiple incremental adjustments. Service request tokens may be added to a leaky token bucket at the maximum request rate.

Abstract: A data centre cabinet includes a cabinet body, an oil distributor and a plurality of liquid distributors. The cabinet body is sequentially mounted with a plurality of server housings from high to low. A liquid distributor is provided above each of the plurality of server housings. The present invention also relates to a gravity spray system. On the one hand, as cooling liquid oil is concentrated in an oil distributor tank disposed above, the oil automatically flows along an oil passage under gravity, and there is no need to provide pressure in the oil passage, thus reducing the power consumption of an oil pump, improving the coefficient of performance (COP) of a heat dissipation system and reducing the overall PUE of a data centre. An oil quantity regulator in an oil distribution unit is used to ensure consistent flow rate distributed to each layer of server.

Abstract: A data storage system that implements identifying data store requests for asynchronous processing. A request may be received at a frontend task engine that processes requests for a network-based data store. The frontend task engine may evaluate the request to determine whether the request should be processed asynchronously. For a request identified for asynchronous processing, the task engine may initiate processing of the request at backend task engines for the network-based data store. Resources for processing the request at the frontend task engine may be reclaimed for processing other requests. A task sweeper that collects data for the network-based data store may detect that processing of the request has completed. The task sweeper may also provide an indication of the completion of the request.
