The paths to which each flow is assigned may be dynamically updated, and in some embodiments the path assignment for a particular flow may time out after a predetermined time. Accordingly, the flow traffic of each path may be balanced based on real-time traffic information.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2016Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Junlan Zhou, Min Zhu, Amin Vahdat

Patent number: 9934279Abstract: A method for detecting patterns across multiple input data streams related to one or more applications is disclosed. The method includes receiving multiple input data streams and generating one or more dynamic data types for one or more attributes of the input data streams. In some embodiments, the method may include combining the input data streams to generate a combined input data stream based on the dynamic data types and processing a continuous query over the combined data stream to detect a pattern.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2014Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Prathab Kali, Anand Srinivasan, Sandeep Bishnoi

Patent number: 9934473Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for selecting a synchronous or asynchronous process to determine a forecast. These mechanisms and methods for such synchronous/asynchronous process selection can enable embodiments to determine forecasts for multiple users (e.g. with hierarchical relationships, etc.) over an arbitrary time interval. The ability of embodiments to provide forecasts that involve such a large amount of data in an effective way can enable forecasting that was otherwise infeasible due to resource limitations.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2014Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Kedar Doshi, Mark Fischer, Evan Chou

Patent number: 9921715Abstract: Systems and methods to generate and provide a user interface to display a shape-based icon that visually represents a server in a user interface. An example method may include identifying a media access control (MAC) address associated with a server, the MAC address including a vendor identifier and a server identifier; determining a first color in view of the vendor identifier and a second color in view of the server identifier; determining a first shape in view of the vendor identifier and a second shape in view of the server identifier; generating a shape-based icon comprising the first shape having the first color and the second shape having the second color; and providing the user interface to display the shape-based icon that visually represents the server.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2015Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventor: Lukas Zapletal

Patent number: 9910472Abstract: A power monitoring system monitors the actual configurations of power distribution systems which supply power to computer systems, based on data signals received at the computer systems via the power lines from the power distribution systems. The system determines if an actual power system configuration of a computer system is distinct from a target power system configuration of the computer system. A target configuration can be associated with particular computing operations performed on the computer system and can specify particular power system configurations of computer systems which execute such computing operations. The system can, in response to a determined distinction, adjustably control computing operation execution on the computer system, including adjustably routing data traffic. The system can, in response to a determined distinction, command power distribution system adjustments which mitigate the distinction.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2015Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Max Jesse Wishman, Christopher Nathan Watson

Patent number: 9871703Abstract: Techniques of executing commands in forwarding nodes are discussed. Control messages are recursively included within each other and distributed in a data plane formed by a network of the forwarding nodes. A given control message can include a command which is executed by a respective forwarding node. The given control message further includes a further control message to be sent to a further forwarding node by the respective forwarding node. The control messages are created by a control node which is configured for controlling operation of the network of forwarding nodes.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2013Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L M ERCISSON (PUBL)Inventors: Francisco Cortes Gomez, Jan Scheurich

Patent number: 9819575Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods for optimizing data flow in a network. The system for distributing data flow in a network includes a controller that receives, from a set of nodes coupled through the network, information of errors at the ports of each node through an input-output (IO) port. The controller compiles the information of errors to assign credits to links coupled to the ports; determines, based on the credits, how to distribute data flow in the network; generates a control signal for controlling the ports; and sends the control signal to the set of nodes through the IO port. The set of nodes controls the ports according to the control signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2015Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: DELL PRODUCTS LPInventors: Sudharsan Dhamal Gopalarathnam, Premnath Sundarababu, Mahesh Manivasagam
