    摘要: Methods, signals, devices, and systems are provided for matching tasks with processing units. A region within a multi-faceted task space is allocated to a processing unit. A point in the multi-faceted task space is assigned to a task. The task is then associated with the processing unit if the region allocated to the processing unit is close to the point assigned to the task. The region allocated to a processing unit may be changed. If no assigned point for a task is sufficiently close to any allocated processing unit region, the task is suspended. Overlapping regions may be assigned to different processing units. In some implementations, the union of the allocated regions covers the task space, while in others it does not. Regions may also be allocated to wait conditions and one or more dimensions of a region may be allocated to conventional processor allocators.

    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for locating objects within a content stream, by transforming prospective objects and evaluating the results to identify meaningful semantic values. Transformation is accomplished using various contour transformations, possibly in combination with other tools and techniques. The semantic values produced by contour transformation can be efficiently searched and classified against a dictionary of archetypes to identify objects and object features in the content stream. Contour transformations may be scale-invariant and/or rotationally invariant or otherwise symmetric, so that distinctions between content objects based on their scale or orientation are avoided.

    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for identifying and characterizing boundaries in digital images and other digital data sets. At least two points within a digital image are selected. Clusters of sample points around the points are chosen. A pixel value histogram is generated for each sample point cluster. These histograms define frequency functions. The distance between the frequency functions, called a “density distance” is calculated and analyzed. The nature of the density distance is then used to determine if the two areas are relatively uniform, or if they indicate a presence of a boundary. To further refine the procedure, the method may be applied iteratively by modifying cluster variances, sizes, and distributions, and then reanalyzing the frequency functions generated.

    摘要: A Request for content is validated for a specific level of service that is to be provided over a network when making the request for the content and when delivering the content to satisfy the request over the network. A network transaction is tagged representing the request and the delivery of the content. Resources that comport with the specific level of service are designated to handle the network transaction and the transaction is injected into the network. Usage of the resources is monitored as the network transaction is processed.

    摘要: Network evaluation grid techniques are presented. Local specifications for traffic patterns are evaluated for local traffic on local grids of a grid computing environment and reported out. The local traffic reported out is then evaluated in response to global traffic pattern specifications and a global traffic policy in order to identify one or more remedial actions to take or to recommend in response to that evaluation.
