  • Patent number: 9582328
    Abstract: A specification of resource requirements is received. One or more resource configurations for a computing environment that satisfy the specification of resource requirements are generated utilizing a description of available resources in the computing environment. A model is utilized to estimate a level of service for each of the resource configurations, wherein the model predicts behavioral dependencies between attributes of the resources in the computing environment. A given one of the resource configurations is selected based at least in part on the estimated levels of service, and resources in the computing environment are assigned according to the selected configuration of resources.

  • Patent number: 9031994
    Abstract: Techniques for improved partitioning of a database for distribution in a data processing system. In one example, a method comprises the following steps. A database and a workload set associated with the database are analyzed. A hyper-graph is generated based on the analysis of the database and the workload set. The hyper-graph is partitioned into a partitioned hyper-graph. The partitioned hyper-graph is evaluated based on one or more partitioning constraints and/or one or more partitioning effect metrics. The partitioned hyper-graph is repartitioned when warranted by the evaluation step. A mapping is generated based on the partitioned hyper-graph that assigns at least one or more portions of the database to one or more nodes of a data processing system. The analyzing, hyper-graph generating, partitioning, evaluating, repartitioning and mapping generation steps are executed via at least one processor device.

  • Publication number: 20120174829
    Abstract: A lightweight and energy saving mortar consisting of: 30-40% of Ordinary Portland cement; 2-4% of Hydrated lime; 10-20% of lightweight aggregate; 40-50% of heavyweight aggregate; and 1.0% of additive. The lightweight aggregate is a porous inorganic hollow glass material of fineness is smaller than 100 mesh. The heavyweight aggregate is Aeolian sand. During application, the mortar is diluted with water to have a viscosity suitable for mechanical spraying or manual application. The present invention employs a specific lightweight aggregate of porous inorganic hollow glass material to reduce the weight percentage of sand stone so as to decrease the weight of the mortar such that an elastic modulus of the mortar is matched with the lightweight wall object, the heat transmission coefficient is decreased, and the thermal bridge effect is minimized. Hollowing, cracking, and falling off problems are prevented. Heat and sound insulation are improved. Mechanical operation is facilitated.
