Techniques for multi-core resource utilization planning are provided. An agent is deployed on each core of a multi-core machine. The agents cooperate to perform one or more tests. The tests result in measurements for performance and thermal characteristics of each core and each communication fabric between the cores. The measurements are organized in a resource utilization map and the map is used to make decisions regarding core assignments for resources.

Techniques for environment single sign on are provided. Multiple identifiers for devices are associated as a single environment. A principal can be authenticated via any of the devices once to access protected resources and once authenticated the principal can access the protected resources from the other devices without re-authenticating.

Techniques for measuring the relevancy of content contributions are provided. Relevancy measurements for components of a collection of content are obtained. The relevancy measurements, the components to which they relate, and the collection of content as a whole are organized into a graphical presentation for subsequent analysis of the components vis-à-vis the collect of content as a whole.

Methods, systems, and data structures map credentials. A master credential is established for a user or an application. The master credential is mapped to one or more service credentials associated with one or more services. When a request for a service is received from a requestor, the request is authenticated using the master credential. If the master credential is authenticated, then an appropriate service credential associated with the appropriate requested service is acquired and sent directly (via proxy) to the service on behalf of the requestor.

A proxy partition cache (PPC) architecture and a technique for address-partitioning a proxy cache consisting of a grouping of discrete, cooperating caches (servers) is provided. Client requests for objects (files) of a given size are redirected or reassigned to a single cache in the grouping, notwithstanding the cache to which the request is made by the load-balancing mechanism (such as a Layer 4 switch) based upon load-balancing considerations. The file is then returned to the switch via the switch-designated cache for vending to the requesting client. The redirection/reassignment occurs according to a function within the cache to which the request is directed so that the switch remains freed from additional tasks that can compromise speed.

A system and method used to characterize query results and retrieve the query results based on the characterization. An informational resource is queried and query results are received. The filter arguments, filter values, data set names and data item labels of the query are determined. The query results are stored locally, such as in cache, and registered based on the determined filter arguments, filter values, data set names and data item labels. Using the registration, all or a portion of the stored query results can be retrieved. Information and notification may be automatically sent to senders when responsive query data is modified in one or more external or local data stores. Moreover, senders may customize how long queries remain within the cache or data store, and when the responsive data associated with the queries are to be updated within the cache or the data store.

Methods, systems, and devices are provided for securely updating private keys, key pairs, passwords, and other confidential information in a distributed environment. A transaction is created including appropriate encrypted soft-token content, and then transmitted to a new location. Comparisons are made to determine whether the new soft-token content should be recognized as authentic and entered at the new location. Updates are accomplished without ever sending the plain text form of a key or a password across the wire between the distributed locations.

Techniques for trusted platform module (TPM) assisted data center management are provided. A data center registers TPM remote attestations for physical processing environments of physical devices within a data center. Each time a physical processing environment is established; a new TPM remote attestation is generated and validated against the registered TPM remote attestation. Additionally, during registration other identifying information is supplied to the physical processing environments that permit each physical processing environment to be authenticated, validated, and controlled via unique identities. Inter-data center communication is established for sharing virtual processing environments and administrative operations are authenticated within each of the data centers perform any administrative operation is permitted to process within a particular data center.

Techniques for automated service platform prospecting are provided. A prospector process is sent out in advance to scout for potential network sites that provide computing infrastructure and computing services (platforms) to self-contained computing environments. The prospector process validates the potential network sites for use and gathers site characteristics that are used to configure the self-contained computing environments when they are to be installed and executed on those network sites.

Techniques for spontaneous resource management are provided. Information about resources is indexed and housed in a repository. The information is dynamically updated. Search queries are performed against the indexed information in the repository for purposes of forming dynamic groupings of the resources that are then managed as custom-defined and dynamic groups.
