Abstract: A computer-implemented method for executing a hot upgrade process is provided. The computer-implemented method includes receiving a process upgrade request during executions of first and second tasks by an old container, determining that the process upgrade request affects the first task but not the second task, labeling the first task but not the second task and acting on the process upgrade request. The computer-implemented method further includes, based on the labeling, storing the first task by the old container and executing the second task by the old container, deleting the old container and instantiating a new container for transformation and execution of the first task.

Abstract: Layering of initially mixed granular dissimilar material components deposited by surface flow is realized by varying the relative angle of the flowing layer periodically with respect to the bulk of the pile formed. Layer thickness and extent can be controlled by varying the timing and extent of the surface variations. Variation in surface flow rates may be realized by varying the feed rate from an inlet to a collection base at a fixed feed location, varying the feed location relative to the collection base, tilting the collection base that is supporting the material, and reducing the pile repose angle using vibration or fluid flow through the base.

Abstract: Intelligent process management is provided. A start time is determined for an additional process to be run on a worker node within a duration of a sleep state of a task of a process already running on the worker node by adding a first defined buffer time to a determined start time of the sleep state of the task. A backfill time is determined for the additional process by subtracting a second defined buffer time from a determined end time of the sleep state of the task. A scheduling plan is generated for the additional process based on the start time and the backfill time corresponding to the additional process. The scheduling plan is executed to run the additional process on the worker node according to the start time and the backfill time corresponding to the additional process.
