Abstract:
Inter-microservice communications are managed through in-memory connection routing. A sending microservice writes a message over a port associated with the connection. The message is routed directly to one or more receiving microservices associated with the connection over their ports associated with the connection. The message may be converted to a different format or multiple different formats through plugins processed when the message is received over the sending microservice's port and before the converting messages are routed over the receiving microservices' ports. The inter-microservice communications are hardware and platform independent or agnostic, such that the microservices associated with the connection can be processed on different hardware and different platforms from one another.
Abstract:
The invention presents a solution in which blockchain Transactions are created to implement the functionality of a logic gate. The invention may be implemented on the Bitcoin platform or an alternative blockchain platform. The transaction includes a locking script which comprises instructions selected so as to implement the functionality of a logic gate such as OR, AND, XOR, NOT and so on. In some examples, the instructions may be provided in a hashed form. When the script is executed (because a second transaction is attempting to spend the output associated with the locking script) the inputs will be processed by the conditional instructions to provide an output of TRUE or FALSE. The second transaction is transmitted to the blockchain network for validation and, if determined to be valid, it will be written to the blockchain. Validation of the second transaction can be interpreted as a TRUE output. Thus, the locking script of the first transaction provides the functionality of the desired logic gate. The invention provides numerous advantages and can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as for the implementation of control systems and processes.

The invention may be implemented on the Bitcoin platform or an alternative blockchain platform. The transaction includes a locking script which comprises instructions to process Boolean inputs and implement the functionality of a logic gate, such as the XOR gate. When the script is executed, the inputs will be evaluated, using computing agents, to provide an output of TRUE or FALSE, and the output will be subsequently provided to an unlocking script associated with a second transaction attempting to spend the output associated with the locking script. The second transaction is transmitted to the blockchain network for validation and, if determined to be valid (evaluated to a TRUE output), it will be written to the blockchain. Thus, the locking script of the first transaction provides the functionality.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to availability level-based service management. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method is disclosed. According to the method, it is detected initiation of a request from a first microservice to a second microservice. The first and second microservices are comprised in a plurality of microservices of an application. The request comprises an expected availability level for the application. In response to a current availability level of the application being higher than or equal to the expected availability level and in response to determining that the execution of the second microservice is unavailable, the request is caused to be routed to a simulated microservice of the second microservice. The simulated microservice is configured to return to the first microservice a dummy response to the request. In other embodiments, a system and a computer program product are disclosed.
Abstract:
Performing container scaling and migration for container-based microservices is provided. A first set of features is extracted from each respective microservice of a plurality of different microservices. A number of containers required at a future point in time for each respective microservice of the plurality of different microservices is predicted using a trained forecasting model and the first set of features extracted from each respective microservice. A scaling label and a scaling value are assigned to each respective microservice of the plurality of different microservices based on a predicted change in a current number of containers corresponding to each respective microservice according to the number of containers required at the future point in time for each respective microservice. The current number of containers corresponding to each respective microservice of the plurality of different microservices is adjusted based on the scaling label and the scaling value assigned to each respective microservice.

Abstract:
A microcontroller has a CPU with at least one interrupt input coupled with an interrupt controller, a plurality of peripherals, and a mode register comprising at least one bit controlling an operating mode of the microcontroller. The microcontroller is configured to operate in a first operating mode wherein upon assertion of an interrupt by a peripheral of the microcontroller, the interrupt controller forwards an interrupt signal to the CPU and the peripheral sets an associated interrupt flag, wherein the interrupt causes the CPU to branch to a predefined interrupt address associated with the interrupt input. In a second operating mode, upon assertion of an interrupt by a peripheral of the microcontroller, the interrupt controller forwards an interrupt signal to the CPU and the CPU receives additional interrupt information from the peripheral that generated the interrupt, wherein the additional interrupt information is used to generate a vector address.
