Abstract: A distributed data storage system comprises features for integration with application orchestrators such as Kubernetes, and includes a proprietary Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver. Features include setting snapshot scheduling and retention policies, and a “container data mover” that replicates data from a source to a distinct destination distributed data storage system. The migration may be configured one-to-one, one-to-many, unidirectional, and/or bi-directional. Metadata-based snapshots and metadata-based changed block tracking identify payload data to move from source to destination within application orchestrator frameworks at both ends. Payload data is migrated from source to destination using different techniques than those used for migrating metadata, e.g., kernel-to-kernel for copying payload data versus ordinary metadata writes. An illustrative barrier logic ensures that the migration follows a controlled progression of operations.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for avoiding redundant data transfers using delta coding techniques when reliably and opportunistically communicating data to multiple user systems. According to embodiments, user systems track received block sequences for locally stored content blocks. An intermediate server intercepts content requests between user systems and target hosts, and deterministically chucks and fingerprints content data received in response to those requests. A fingerprint of a received content block is communicated to the requesting user system, and the user system determines based on the fingerprint whether the corresponding content block matches a content block that is already locally stored. If so, the user system returns a set of fingerprints representing a sequence of next content blocks that were previously stored after the matching content block.

Abstract: Embodiments solve a problem of minimizing routing costs by jointly optimizing caching and routing decisions over an arbitrary network topology. Embodiments solve an equivalent caching gain maximization problem, and consider both source routing and hop-by-hop routing settings.

Embodiments herein include distributed, adaptive networks, computer methods, systems, and computer program products that provide guarantees of routing cost reduction. Simulation is performed over a broad array of different topologies.

Abstract: Advances in computing and communication performance are commonly followed by applications that utilize such advances. Electronic conferences comprising audio and video may tax even the most advanced network and computing platforms when sufficient demand is placed on the conference. Accordingly, utilizing conference resources effectively and efficiently remains a concern. By allocating participating devices to either a push-to-talk group or a non-push to talk group, conference participants may selectively be enabled to contribute freely or limited to observe the conference. As a result, resources required to receive conference content from the participating devices may be allocated only to those that warrant such an allocation and not waste allocated resources that are not, or not currently, contributing to the conference content.

Abstract: In various example embodiments, multiple workspaces have access to modify values in a graph database. The graph database can comprise a collection of entity nodes, where each entity node is connected to an identifier node and one or more state nodes. An update to an entity node can be recorded by generating a new state node to store the update and connecting the new state node to the entity node. How each workspace views the database is based, at least in part, on which state nodes are associated with each workspace. The workspaces are independent of one another, and changes made to an entity node in one workspace do not affect how another workspace views the same entity node. By managing database data for each of the workspaces using the same graph database and recording changes in state nodes in an additive manner, the computational overhead is greatly reduced and simplified.

Abstract: The embodiments provide systems and methods for efficiently and accurately differentiating requests directed to uncacheable content from requests directed to cacheable content based on identifiers from the requests. The differentiation occurs without analysis or retrieval of the content being requested. Some embodiments hash identifiers of prior requests that resulted in uncacheable content being served in order to set indices within a bloom filter. The bloom filter then tracks prior uncacheable requests without storing each of the identifiers so that subsequent requests for uncacheable requests can be easily identified based on a hash of the request identifier and set indices of the bloom filter. Some embodiments produce a predictive model identifying uncacheable content requests by tracking various characteristics found in identifiers of prior requests that resulted in uncacheable content being served.
