  • Patent number: 12132624
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms are disclosed that enable collection of various types of data from cloud computing services and the generation of various dashboards and visualizations to view information about collections of cloud computing resources. A user can configure collection of data from one or more cloud computing services and view visualizations using an application platform referred to herein as a cloud computing management application. A cloud computing management application further may be configured to generate and cause display of interactive topology map representations of cloud computing resources based on the collected data, where an interactive topology map enables users to view an intuitive visualization of a collection of computing resources, efficiently cause performance of actions with respect to various resources displayed in the topology map, and analyze the collection of resources in ways that are not possible using conventional cloud computing service management consoles.

  • Patent number: 12001881
    Abstract: Event prioritization for an ordered event stream (OES) is disclosed. Unlike conventional prioritization techniques, the disclosed subject matter can be performed by an OES data storage system to provide direct, rather than indirect, control of prioritization. In an embodiment, a prioritized hashed key (PHK) can be determined from an event characteristic and an indicated event priority value based on a selectable priority-sensitive hashing function. As such, events with a same key characteristic but different indicated priorities can have different PHKs, events with different key characteristics but the same indicated priority can have different PHKs, and events with the same key characteristic and the same priority can have a same PHK. An event priority can be inherently comprised in the PHK without needing to explicitly store the priority value with a written event in the OES. Moreover, the disclosed prioritization for the OES can be compatible with OES scaling techniques.

  • Patent number: 11023444
    Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards matching subscriber services to publisher services based on any number of arbitrary subscriber-specified attributes. In general, each publisher services register its capabilities as a set of attributes in a repository data store, e.g., a database. When a subscriber service wants a matching publisher service, the subscriber service specifies which attributes the subscriber service wants matched, and the repository's affiliated matching process uses the registered attributes of the publisher services to seek a match.

  • Patent number: 10977231
    Abstract: This application discloses a system for presenting data to a user based on requests to move data from primary storage to secondary storage. The system receives a request to move data that satisfies at least one criterion, from primary to secondary data storage. The system then identifies an initial database query from the request, and further builds a nested database query from the initial database query according to a database schema. Next, the system estimates a size of a result of executing the nested database query. Finally, the system provides for display to the user the estimated size.

  • Patent number: 10945285
    Abstract: A communication system comprising one or more wireless stations programmed to await for an authorizing signal to initiate wireless communications with a network controller or access point. The network controller maintains identification information in different queues, and polls stations from those queues. The wireless station identification information may be moved between the different queues in response to wireless station activity. Between polling, each mobile station aggregates data for the next opportunity to transmit. Multi-polling may be employed such that more than a single station is polled at a time. Polling is accomplished by polling one of the more stations from each queue having the effect that stations in one queue are polled more often than those in another queue. If a lesser active station becomes active, it may be moved into the shorter queue and consequently will be polled more often.

  • Patent number: 10911366
    Abstract: Technologies for balancing throughput across input ports include a network switch. The network switch is to generate, for an arbiter unit in a first stage of a hierarchy of stages of arbiter units, turn data indicative of a set of turns in which to transfer packet data from devices connected to input ports of the arbiter unit. The network switch is also to transfer, with the arbiter unit, the packet data from the devices in the set of turns. Additionally, the network switch is to determine weight data indicative of the number of turns represented in the set and provide the weight data from the arbiter unit in the first stage to another arbiter unit in a subsequent stage to cause the arbiter unit in the subsequent stage to allocate a number of turns for the transfer of the packet data from the arbiter unit in the first stage.

  • Patent number: 10863531
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to telecommunication networks, and more particularly to a method and system for delay aware uplink scheduling in a communication network. The telecommunication network performs data uplink and data downlink associated with data communication between multiple transmitter-receiver pairs connected to the network, by using specific scheduling schema as part of the data processing. Disclosed are method and system for performing a delay-aware uplink scheduling in the communication network. For an uplink request received from a transmitter, the system estimates downlink delay at the corresponding receiver side. The system further estimates a processing delay for the received uplink request. Based on the estimated downlink delay and the processing delay, the system determines an uplink delay budget for the transmitter. Further, based on the uplink delay budget and an achievable data rate computed for the transmitter, the system schedules uplink for the transmitter.
