  • Patent number: 11983117
    Abstract: The embodiments herein describe a multi-tenant cache that implements fine-grained allocation of the entries within the cache. Each entry in the cache can be allocated to a particular tenant—i.e., fine-grained allocation—rather than having to assign all the entries in a way to a particular tenant. If the tenant does not currently need those entries (which can be tracked using counters), the entries can be invalidated (i.e., deallocated) and assigned to another tenant. Thus, fine-grained allocation provides a flexible allocation of entries in a hardware cache that permits an administrator to reserve any number of entries for a particular tenant, but also permit other tenants to use this bandwidth when the reserved entries are not currently needed by the tenant.

  • Patent number: 11983143
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a plurality of files where each file represents an object. The method further combines selected files of the plurality of files into an aggregation file and stores the aggregation file on low-latency storage media, such as disk storage media. The method represents the aggregation file with a single inode that is stored on the low-latency storage media. The method migrates the aggregate file to high-latency storage media, such as tape storage media, while leaving the single inode representing the aggregation file on the low-latency storage media. By collecting files into larger aggregation files, the number of files archived is significantly reduced and the files archived are of larger size. The reduced number of files and increased size of the files improves archival and retrieval performance due to reduced metadata operation overhead. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11983146
    Abstract: A copy-on-write union filesystem. A computer system identifies a first filesystem namespace as a mutable layer, and a second filesystem namespace as an immutable layer. The computer system exposes a merged filesystem namespace as a union filesystem that merges the mutable layer and the immutable layer, and that overlays the first filesystem namespace over the second filesystem namespace. The computer system identifies an operation on the merged filesystem namespace that requests to read from a file within the merged filesystem namespace, the file being stored in the second filesystem namespace and not being stored in the first filesystem namespace. The computer system returns a handle referencing a proxy object stored in a system memory. The proxy object includes a mapping to a file object corresponding to the file as stored in the second filesystem namespace.

  • Patent number: 11983151
    Abstract: Herein are resource-constrained techniques that plan ahead for resiliently moving pluggable databases between container databases after a failure in a high-availability database cluster. In an embodiment, a computer identifies many alternative placements that respectively assign each pluggable database to a respective container database. For each alternative placement, a respective resilience score is calculated for each pluggable database that is based on the container database of the pluggable database. Based on the resilience scores of the pluggable databases for the alternative placements, a particular placement is selected as an optimal placement that would maximize utilization of computer resources, minimize database latencies, maximize system throughput, and maximize the ability of the database cluster to avoid a service outage.

  • Patent number: 11983154
    Abstract: A recipe management system includes a versioning system that tracks the revision history of templates and their child instances. Modifications to templates and instances create new records with new primary key identifiers and version identifiers. However, each new version of a template or instance has the same root identifier as the prior versions. When a template is modified, a flag is set in its child instances, but they are not modified automatically. When an instance is modified, it has no effect on the parent template. At runtime, a recipe model is loaded to an equipment model to execute a recipe on a piece of equipment. Only approved versions of equipment models are used during execution, even if newer versions exist. During execution, new equipment models can be created. The recipe management system includes an execution engine that can be hosted as a standalone executable or in a system platform.

  • Patent number: 11983157
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods of managing the lifecycle of a digital token are described. In an example, while the digital token is being generated, the digital token or the underlying digital asset can be compared to other digital tokens and/or digital assets to determine similarity thereto. Based on the similarity, a program code interface (e.g., smart contract, an application programming interface—API, RPC, etc.) can be determined and an API call can be made to execute a program code. The execution can indicate whether the digital token creation process can be completed. If so, the digital token is recorded. Thereafter, its use or the use of the underlying digital asset can be monitored, whereby this monitoring can apply similarity processing. If a use thereof is determined or if a use of a similar digital token or similar digital asset is determined, notifications can be generated and sent.
