Task switching and inter-task communications for multi-core processors

A multi core data processing fabric has an array of processing cores and a fabric memory. The fabric memory is divided into task specific segments. Memory is exchanged between the memories using multiplexers. Each multiplexer in a first set is specific to a particular memory segments. Each multiplexer in a second set is specific to a particular core. Data processing tasks are repeatedly assigned to cores in the array. Based on this assignment, the multiplexers are configured to connect the elements of the fabric. A memory segment specific multiplexer may be configured to connect to the core assigned to process the task, with which the memory segment is associated. Alternatively, a core specific multiplexer may be configured to connect to the memory segment, which is associated with the task, which has been assigned to the core. Memory images may be transferred between the cores and the memory segments.

SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROVIDING RESERVATION MASKS WITHIN A COMPUTE ENVIRONMENT

RESOURCE SHARING WITH SLIDING CONSTRAINTS

The resource sharing system according to the present invention dynamically adjusts the priorities at which requests from applications in different request classes (or classes of service) for a shared resource, are processed.

Processor resource capacity management in an information handling system

An operating system or virtual machine of an information handling system (IHS) initializes a resource manager to provide processor resource utilization management during workload or application execution. The resource manager captures short term interval (STI) and long term interval (LTI) processor resource utilization data and stores that utilization data within an information store of the virtual machine. If a capacity on demand mechanism is enabled, the resource manager modifies a reserved capacity value. The resource manager selects previous STI and LTI values for comparison with current resource utilization and may apply a safety margin to generate a reserved capacity or target resource utilization value for the next short term interval (STI). The hypervisor may modify existing virtual processor allocation to match the target resource utilization.

Hybrid Cloud Workload Management

A method, apparatus, and computer program product for managing a workload in a hybrid cloud. It is determined whether first data processing resources processing a portion of a workload are overloaded. Responsive to a determination that the first data processing resources are overloaded, second data processing resources are automatically provisioned and the portion of the workload is automatically moved to the second data processing resources for processing. The second data processing resources are data processing resources that are provided as a service on the hybrid cloud. Processing of a first portion of a workload being processed on first data processing resources of a hybrid cloud are monitored simultaneously with monitoring processing of a second portion of the workload being processed on second data processing resources of the hybrid cloud. The workload may be allocated automatically between the first portion and the second portion responsive to the simultaneous monitoring.

Migrating active i/o connections with migrating servers and clients

A technique for modifying an input/output (I/O) connection type between a client and a server includes determining, by the client, when at least partial storage access control for the client is to be migrated from a first virtualized I/O server to a second virtualized I/O server. An I/O connection type, from among multiple available I/O connection types available between the client and the second virtualized I/O server, is then selected by the client when the at least partial storage access control for the client is to be migrated. The selected I/O connection type is then communicated, by the client, to the second virtualized I/O server, which is configured to facilitate storage access for the client using the selected I/O connection type.

The VMM supports processing of a virtual link manager (VLM) that deploys and configures a plurality of Layer 2 virtual links sharing bandwidth of a Layer 2 physical link between the physical host and an access switch. The VMM communicates parameters of the plurality of virtual links with the access switch.

Dormant Background Applications on Mobile Devices

The subject disclosure is directed towards a technology in which a mobile device maintains an application in a dormant state in which the application's process is not terminated and remains in memory, but the application cannot execute code. Further, state and execution context are maintained for the application, allowing the application to be quickly and efficiently resumed into the running state. To prevent the application from executing code while dormant, thread activity is suspended, requests canceled, completed or paused, resources detached, and so forth. Resource usage may be monitored for dormant applications, to remove a misbehaving dormant application process from memory if improperly using resources.

Constrained Execution of Background Application Code on Mobile Devices

The subject disclosure is directed towards a technology by which background application code (e.g., provided by third-party developers) runs on a mobile device in a way that is constrained with respect to resource usage. A resource manager processes a resource reservation request for background code, to determine whether the requested resources meet constraint criteria for that type of background code. If the criteria are met and the resources are available, the resources are reserved, whereby the background code is ensured priority access to its reserved resources. As a result, a properly coded background application that executes within its constraints will not experience glitches or other problems (e.g., unexpected termination) and thereby provide a good user experience.

Tier-based Dynamic Incentive Arbitration in an On-Demand Computing Environment

A system for allocating resources which are anticipated to be available in an on-demand computing at some time in the future, wherein a producer trending agent (PTA) lists resources according to a trend prediction of resource availability in the past, a consumer trending agent (CTA) places bids for listed resources according to previous resource usage trends, and an arbitration system (REAS) matches the bids with the listings to determine if a match exists. If so, a binding contract for consumption of the matched listed resources is established. The PTA also produce tier-based dynamic incentive (TDI) schema which divides potential bidders into tiers, and offers additional resource incentives according to the tiers. Both PTA and CTA dynamically update their available/usage trends, listings and bids, over time.

Server Resource Allocation

A method, programmed medium and system are disclosed which provide for end-to-end QoS for a set of processes that comprise a workload over nfs. A set of processes that comprise a workload such as the processes of a WPAR, or an entire LPAR are given a class designation and assigned priority/limits. The data are then passed to the server which allocates resources based on the sum total of all the current classes and their priorities and/or limits. This requires re-engineering the nfs client code to be workload-aware and the nfs server code to accommodate the resource allocation and prioritization needs of the nfs clients.
