  • Patent number: 11914988
    Abstract: A phase classification model of a cloud application deployment device calculates a feature vector for each time period from resource usage data for each time period when an application is executed, clusters the feature vectors for each time period, and validates a result of the clustering to determine which phase the feature vector belongs to. Validation between a feature vector of a new application and a feature vector belonging to a cluster of a known phase is performed, and it is determined whether each time period belongs to the known phase or an unknown phase on the basis of a degree of the validation. The resource usage of a computer node for each phase is inferred, and application deployment is performed on the basis of an inference result.

  • Patent number: 11194723
    Abstract: The prefetch control is optimized according to a data pattern. The model selection unit selects inference units from outside of the device driver and replace each of the inference units according to the type of data analysis. The inference units, each of which is a neural network, predict an address region of the SSD based on I/O trace data collected by the device driver and instruct the device driver to prefetch from the outside based on the prediction result. The prefetch execution unit performs prefetch for the storage cache allocated to the SCM based on the prediction by a neural network associated with the query and the database.

  • Publication number: 20110161644
    Abstract: When a plurality of OSs are mounted, it is desirable to efficiently use memory resources without affecting other OSs. Also, even if the OSs are different from each other, they are mounted on one system, and therefore, inter-OS communication is required. In this case, data communication without affecting other OSs is required. Accordingly, an information processor includes: a firmware for assigning a first central processing unit, a first operating system, and a first region being a partial region of a memory as a first domain, assigning a second central processing unit, a second operating system, and a second region being a partial region of the memory as a second domain, and controlling to disable an access of one domain to a region assigned for the other domain; and a middleware for controlling a communication when the data communication is required between the first domain and the second domain.
