摘要： A system method and computer program product for managing readiness states of a plurality of computing devices. A programmed processor unit operates, upon receipt of a request, to either: provide one or more computing devices from an inactive pool to an active pool, or accept one or more active computing devices into the inactive pool. An Inactive Pool Manager proactively manages the inactive states of each computing device by: determining the desired number (and identities) of computing devices to be placed in each inactive state of readiness by solving a constraint optimization problem that describes a user-specified trade-off between expected readiness (estimated time to be able to activate computing devices when they are needed next) and conserving energy; generating a plan for changing the current set of inactive states to the desired set; and, executing the plan. Multiple alternative ways of quantifying the desired responsiveness to surges in demand are provided, and, in each case, the tradeoff between responsiveness and power savings is formulated as an objective function with constraints, and the desired number of devices in each inactive state emerges as the solution to a constraint optimization problem.

摘要： A system, method and computer program product for managing power consumption in a system comprising at least two computing devices. The at least two computing devices are organized as part of active computing device group or a ready computing device group, the ready computing devices configured into various modes of readiness including a standby mode, a hibernating mode, and a power-off mode. A control device receives obtained sensed parameters indicative of the processing load at the group of active computing devices and determines a “Readiness” index value representing a state of system readiness which is a function of a transition time parameter representing a time for moving one or more computing devices from the second group of ready computing devices to the first group of active devices in response to a service level violation. To achieve maximum power saving and yet meet various performance targets, the ready computing devices are dynamically allocated from amongst three states: standby, hibernating or power-off, based on the current readiness index value.

摘要： An apparatus, system and method for automatically making operation selling decisions are provided. The apparatus, system and method make use of selling policy rules established by human operators associated with a firm to guide the making of decisions to sell products and/or services. The actual decisions to sell are made automatically by the system without requiring human intervention. The decisions to sell are made by negotiating terms of sale with a customer using history information, exogenous preference information, information obtained from third parties, and the like. An initial offer of sale is provided to a customer who may then elect to modify the terms of sale of the product or service. If the customer elects to modify the terms of sale of the product or service, a negotiation engine of the present invention may automatically provide counteroffers to offers made by the customer until acceptable terms of sale are agreed upon. The negotiation with the customer occurs within the framework established by the selling policy rules established by the human operators. Because the actual decisions are performed automatically without human intervention, the decisions may be made much more quickly than would have been done by a human being.

摘要： A mechanism is provided for automatically detecting and locating equipment within an intelligent equipment rack. The intelligent equipment rack comprises a rack controller that determines whether a signal has been received indicating that a rack space in a plurality of rack spaces in the intelligent equipment rack has been occupied by a piece of electronic equipment. Responsive to receiving the signal indicating that the rack space has been occupied by the piece of electronic equipment, the rack controller updates a rack information table in the memory with occupation information related to the rack space occupied by the piece of electronic equipment.

摘要： A method for detecting undesirable emails combines input from two or more spam classifiers to provide improved classification effectiveness and robustness. The method includes obtaining a score from each of a plurality of constituent spam classifiers by applying them to a given input email. The method further includes obtaining a combined spam score from a combined spam classifier that takes as input the plurality of constituent spam classifier scores, the combined spam classifier being computed automatically in accordance with a specified false-positive vs. false-negative tradeoff. The method further includes identifying the given input email as an undesirable email if the combined spam score indicates that the input e-mail is undesirable.
