Abstract:
A system and method of dynamically controlling a reservation of compute resources within a compute environment is disclosed. The method aspect of the invention comprises receiving a request from a requestor for a reservation of resources within the compute environment, reserving a first group of resources, evaluating resources within the compute environment to determine if a more efficient use of the compute environment is available and if a more efficient use of the compute environment is available, then canceling the reservation for the first group of resources and reserving a second group of resources of the compute environment according to the evaluation.
Abstract:
Disclosed are systems, methods, computer readable media, and compute environments for establishing a schedule for processing a job in a distributed compute environment. The method embodiment comprises converting a topology of a compute environment to a plurality of endpoint-to-endpoint paths, based on the plurality of endpoint-to-endpoint paths, mapping each replica resource of a plurality of resources to one or more endpoints where each respective resource is available, iteratively identifying schedule costs associated with a relationship between endpoints and resources, and committing a selected schedule cost from the identified schedule costs for processing a job in the compute environment.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer readable-media for dynamically managing data-centric searches. The method includes receiving information associated with an event related to domain-specific searches to a database, identifying data at a first memory location in the database, the data being data identified in response to the domain-specific searches, duplicating the data at least once to at least one new memory location, and distributing processing more domain-specific searches amongst the at least one of the new memory location and the first memory location. The system can distribute the processing for more or additional domain-specific searches randomly, serially or using any other approach. The method optionally includes an expanded search space made up of the first memory location and at least one memory location and can identify a reduction event related to the domain-specific searches, and collapse the expanded search space by removing duplicate data from one or more memory location and adjusting the distribution of processing amongst at least one remaining memory location. The method can optionally include organizing multiple events by network segment, identifying a network segment associated with domain-specific searches, and duplicating the data to at least one new memory location in close proximity to the identified network segment. The method can measure proximity by one or more of geographic distance, network latency, number of intermediate network hops, temperature, and cost.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a system, method and computer-readable medium relating to managing resources within a compute environment having a group of nodes or computing devices. The method comprises, for each node in the compute environment: traversing a list jobs having a fixed time relationship, wherein for each job in the list, the following steps occur: obtaining a range list of available timeframes for each job, converting each availability timeframe to a start range, shifting the resulting start range in time by a job offset, for a first job, copying the resulting start range into a node range, and for all subsequent jobs, logically AND'ing the start range with the node range. Next, the method comprises logically OR'ing the node range with a global range, generating a list of acceptable resources on which to start and the timeframe at which to start and creating reservations according to the list of acceptable resources for the resources in the group of computing devices and associated job offsets.
Abstract:
A system and method for reserving resources within a compute environment such as a cluster or grid are disclosed. The method aspect of the disclosure includes receiving a request for resource availability in a compute environment from a requestor, associating a transaction identification with the request and resources within the compute environment that can meet the request and presenting the transaction identification to the requestor. The transaction ID can also be associated with a time frame in which resources are available and can also be associated with modifications to the resources and supersets of resources that could be drawn upon to meet the request. The transaction ID can also be associated with metrics that identify how well the resource fit with the request and modifications that can make the resources better match the workload which would be submitted under the request.
Abstract:
System, method, and tangible computer-readable storage media are disclosed for providing a brokering service for compute resources. The method includes, at a brokering service, polling a group of separately administered compute environments to identify resource capabilities and information, each compute resource environment including the group of managed nodes for processing workload, receiving a request for compute resources at the brokering service system, the request for compute resources being associated with a service level agreement (SLA) and based on the resource capabilities across the group of compute resource environments, selecting compute resources in one or more of the group of compute resource environments. The brokering service system receives workload associated with the request and communicates the workload to the selected resources for processing. The brokering services system can aggregate resources for multiple cloud service providers and act as an advocate for or a guarantor of the SLA associated with the workload.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for determining muscle force are presented. Proportional, integral, and derivative control is used to simulate muscle forces for multiple muscles contributing to a kinematic profile. The simulated muscle forces arc modified by dynamic gains that are calculated in order to achieve a muscle recruitment objective such as minimizing collective muscle effort while still achieving the kinematic motion.

A system and method are disclosed for dynamically reserving resources within a cluster environment. The method embodiment of the invention comprises receiving a request for resources in the cluster environment, monitoring events after receiving the request for resources and based on the monitored events, dynamically modifying at least one of the request for resources and the cluster environment.

In the hybrid compute environment, each node communicates with a first resource manager associated with the first operating system and a second resource manager associated with a second operating system. The method includes receiving an instruction to provision at least one node in the hybrid compute environment from the first operating system to the second operating system, after provisioning the second operating system, pooling at least one signal from the resource manager associated with the at least one node, processing at least one signal from the second resource manager associated with the at least one node and consuming resources associated with the at least one node having the second operating system provisioned thereon.
Abstract:
A system and method of reserving resources in a compute environment are disclosed. The method embodiment comprises receiving a request for resources within a computer environment, determining at least one completion time associated with at least one resource type required by the request, and reserving resources within the computer environment based on the determine of at least the completion time. A scaled wall clock time on a per resource basis may also be used to determine what resources to reserve. The system may determine whether to perform a start time analysis or a completion time analysis or a hybrid analysis in the process of generating a co-allocation map between a first type of resource and a second type of resource in preparation for reserving resources according to the generated co-allocation map.
