A system and method for resource allocation includes, in a network having nodes and links, injecting units of flow for at least one commodity at a source corresponding to the at least one commodity. At each node, queue heights, associated with the at least one commodity, are balanced for queues associated with each of one or more outgoing paths associated with that node. An amount of commodity flow is pushed across a link toward a sink, where the amount of commodity flow is constrained by a capacity constraint. Flow that reached the sink is absorbed by draining the queues.

The present invention is based on the main ideas that different sub-intervals of a resource utilization time series are to be summarized with different granularity in the time axis, depending on the values of the series over that interval. Therefore, periods of high resource utilization are represented with higher time granularity, while periods of low resource utilization are represented with lower time granularity, the value stored can represent a function of the summarized values, such as the average or maximum value of the low resource utilization period. The captured resource utilization data is used to generate profiles, wherein the profiles summarize the historical utilization data. The profiles further capture pseudo-periodic behavior over different time scales.

A method, computer program product, and data processing system for estimating and correcting the amount of clock skew in end-to-end network timing measurements is disclosed. Measured delays are combined with their time of measurement to create ordered pairs. These ordered pairs represent points within a Cartesian plane. The convex hull of these points is determined, and an optimal line segment from the resulting polygon is selected and extrapolated to create an affine function estimating clock skew over time. The optimal line segment of the polygon is one that optimizes a selected objective function. The objective function is selected so as to be an appropriate measurement of the accuracy of the resulting linear function as an estimate of the actual clock skew.

Identifying traffic patterns to web sites based on templates that characterize the arrival of traffic to the web sites is provided. Based on these templates, determinations are made as to which web sites should be co-located so as to optimize resource allocation. Web sites whose templates are complimentary, i.e. a first web site having a peak in arrival traffic at time t1 and a second web site that has a trough in arrival traffic at time t1, are designated as being candidates for co-location. In addition, the templates identified for the traffic patterns of web sites are used to determine thresholds for offloading traffic to other servers. These thresholds include a first threshold at which offloading should be performed, a second threshold that takes into consideration the lead time needed to begin offloading, and a third threshold that takes into consideration a lag time needed to stop offloading of traffic.

The present invention is a method and an apparatus for predicting future travel times over a transportation network. In one embodiment, a method for predicting future travel times over a transportation network includes receiving a data point indicating a real-time volume of traffic on the link at a given time and updating a template representative of an observed traffic pattern on the link in accordance with the received data point. A future travel time over the link can then be estimated in accordance with the updated template. Thus, the template is able to adapt to dynamically changing traffic patterns, taking these changing traffic patterns into account when making predictions of future traffic patterns.

A system and method for performance modeling for an information technology (IT) system having a server(s) for performing a number of types of transactions includes receiving data for system topology and transaction flows and receiving performance measurement data for the IT system. The measurement data is clustered into multiple regimes based on similarities. Service demand and network delay parameters may be inferred based on clustered data.
摘要:
Several algorithms are provided to estimate and remove relative clock skews from delay measurements based on the computation of convex hulls. The algorithms are linear in the number of measurement points for the case with no clock resets. For the more challenging case with clock resets, i.e., the clocks are reset to some reference times during the measurement period, linear algorithms are provided to identify the clock resets and derive the best clock skew lines. The algorithms are also extended to environments in which at least one of the clocks is controlled by Network Time Protocol. These algorithms can also be extended for active clock synchronization to replace or further improve Network Time Protocol.

Provided are a BZ glaze enamel painting material composition and a painting method. The composition is a painting material composition composed of natural mineral pigment powder, synthetic resin, and vinyl acetate-acrylate added with a color glaze, a white toning glaze, and a colorless toning glaze at different percentages. The painting method that uses the composition includes the steps of preparing painting canvas, forming bottom, and making picture. In the step of making picture, a suitable amount of BZ glaze enamel painting material composition is prepared according to the size of the painting canvas and, and after being sufficiently stirred, added with temperature-resistant minerals and water according to predetermined weight ratios to respectively form red glaze, yellow glaze, blue glaze, green glaze, purple glaze, orange glaze, and cyan glaze, followed by mixing to product a BZ painting artwork exhibiting, in the entirety thereof, an irregular pattern.
