    摘要: A method for adaptively allocating resources to a plurality of jobs. The method comprises selecting a first policy from a plurality of policies for a first job in the plurality of jobs by using a policy selection mechanism, allocating at least one resource to the first job in accordance with the first policy, and in response to completion of the first job, updating the policy selection mechanism to obtain an updated policy selection mechanism by using at least one processor. Updating the policy selection mechanism comprises evaluating the performance of the first policy with respect to the first job by calculating a value of a metric of utility for the first policy based on conditions associated with execution of the first job and updating the policy selection mechanism based on the calculated value and a delay of execution of the first job.

    摘要: A system for managing allocation of resources based on service level agreements between application owners and cloud operators. Under some service level agreements, the cloud operator may have responsibility for managing allocation of resources to the software application and may manage the allocation such that the software application executes within an agreed performance level. Operating a cloud computing platform according to such a service level agreement may alleviate for the application owners the complexities of managing allocation of resources and may provide greater flexibility to cloud operators in managing their cloud computing platforms.

    摘要: The discussion relates to middlebox reliability. One example can apply event filters to a dataset of middlebox error reports to separate redundant middlebox error reports from a remainder of the middlebox error reports of the dataset. The example can categorize the remainder of the middlebox error reports of the dataset by middlebox device type. The example can also generate a graphical user interface that conveys past reliability and predicted future reliability for an individual model of an individual middlebox device type.

    摘要: Methods and systems for load balancing in a cluster storage system are disclosed herein. The method includes identifying a source node within the cluster storage system from which to move a number of data objects, wherein the source node includes a node with a total load exceeding a threshold value. The method also includes selecting the data objects to move from the source node, wherein the data objects are chosen such that the total load of the source node no longer exceeds the threshold value. The method further includes determining a target node within the cluster storage system based on a proximity to the source node and the total load of the target node and moving the data objects from the source node to the target node.

    摘要: Described are performance-based pricing models for pricing execution of a client job in a cloud service. Client-provided performance-related parameters are used to determine a price. The price may be a minimum bid price that is evaluated against a bid received from client bidder to accept or reject the bid. Alternatively, the price may be returned as a quote. For batch application-type jobs, performance parameters include a work volume parameter and a deadline or the like. For an interactive-type application job, example performance-related parameters may include an average load parameter, a peak load parameter, an acceptance rate parameter, a minimum capacity parameter, a maximum capacity parameter, and/or a time window parameter over which load is specified.

    摘要: There is provided a method and system for determining an impact of failures in a data center network. The method includes identifying failures for the data center network based on data about the data center network and grouping the failures into failure event groups, wherein each failure event group includes related failures for a network element. The method also includes estimating the impact of the failures for each of the failure event groups by correlating the failures with traffic for the data center network.

    摘要: One or more computers manage power consumption in a plurality of computers by repeatedly evaluating power consumption of pluralities of computers such that any given plurality of computers is evaluated by aggregating indicia of power consumption of the individual computers in the given plurality. The evaluation identifies or predicts pluralities of computers that are over-consuming power and identifies pluralities of computers that are under-consuming power. A first plurality of computers identified as over-consuming power are sent messages to instruct some of its comprising computers or virtual machines (VMs) to lower their computational workload. A second plurality of computers identified as under-consuming power are sent messages instructing the other computers to increase their computation workload.
