Patent number: 11403525Abstract: Reinforcement learning is used to dynamically tune cache policy parameters. The current state of a workload on a cache is provided to a reinforcement learning process. The reinforcement learning process uses the cache workload characterization to select an action to be taken to adjust a value of one of multiple parameterized cache policies used to control operation of a cache. The adjusted value is applied to the cache for an upcoming time interval. At the end of the time interval, a reward associated with the action is determined, which may be computed by comparing the cache hit rate during the interval with a baseline hit rate. The process iterates until the end of an episode, at which point the parameters of the cache control policies are reset. The episode is used to train the reinforcement learning policy so that the reinforcement learning process converges to a trained state.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Dell Products, L.P.Inventors: Vinicius Michel Gottin, Tiago Salviano Calmon, Jonas Furtado Dias, Alex Laier Bordignon, Daniel Sadoc Menasché

Patent number: 11379717Abstract: Traditional systems and methods have implemented hand-crafted feature extraction from varying length time series that results in complexity and requires domain knowledge. Building classification models requires large labeled data and is computationally expensive. Embodiments of the present disclosure implement learning models for classification tasks in multi-dimensional time series by performing feature extraction from entity's parameters via unsupervised encoder and build a non-temporal linear classifier model.

Extracted features are concatenated to learn a non-temporal linear classification model and weight is assigned to each extracted feature during learning which helps to determine relevant parameters for each class. Mapping from parameters to target class is considered while constraining the linear model to use only subset of large number of features.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2019Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Tata Consultancy Services LimitedInventors: Pankaj Malhotra, Priyanka Gupta, Lovekesh Vig, Gautam Shroff
