摘要： Embodiments herein present a method, system, computer program product, etc. for automated management using a hybrid of prediction models and feedback-based systems. The method begins by calculating confidence values of models. Next, the method selects a first model based on the confidence values and processes the first model through a constraint solver to produce first workload throttling values. Following this, workloads are repeatedly processed through a feedback-based execution engine, wherein the feedback-based execution engine is controlled by the first workload throttling values. The first workload throttling values are applied incrementally to the feedback-based execution engine, during repetitions of the processing of the workloads, with a step-size that is proportional to the confidence values. The processing of the workloads is repeated until an objective function is maximized, wherein the objective function specifies performance goals of the workloads.

摘要： A technique of allocating shared resources in a computer network-based storage system comprises taking periodic performance samples on a running storage system; evaluating an objective function that takes as input the performance samples to quantify how aligned a current state of the storage system is with organizational objectives; building and maintaining models of behavior and capabilities of the storage system by using the performance samples as input; determining how resources of the storage system should be allocated among client computers in the storage system by selecting one among many possible allocations based on predictions generated by the models in order to maximize a value of the objective function; calculating a confidence statistic value for a chosen resource allocation based on an accuracy of the models; and enforcing the chosen resource allocation on the running storage system when the confidence statistic value is at or above a predetermined threshold value.

摘要： When an alarm condition relating to a performance goal of a storage system is detected, a storage management system invokes an N-step lookahead engine for simulating operation of the storage system when there are multiple actions that could be taken by the storage system for eliminating the alarm condition. The N-step lookahead engine generates N possible system states based on a current state of the storage system. The N possible states are based on a cost model of each of the multiple actions. Each cost model is based on an action, a behavior implication of the action, a resource implication of the action and a transient cost of the action. An action is selected that generates a system state that optimizes the stability, a prerequisite and a transient cost of invoking the selected action.

摘要： An RFID system and method for communicating between a host computer, one or more interrogators connected to the host computer, and a large body of transponders distributed within an area covered by the interrogators. Each transponder originally has a common identification code, and upon initialization by the host computer internally generates a unique identification code based upon an internally generated random number. The host, through the interrogators, reads each of the identification codes associated with each transponder by iteratively transmitting a read identification code command along with a controlled variable. Each transponder compares the received controlled variable to an internally generated random number, and selectively transmits its identification code based upon the outcome of this comparison. After the completion of each read identification code iteration, the host adjusts the controlled variable based upon the responses received in the previous iteration. Preferably, communications between the interrogators and the transponders are DSSS signals in TDMA format, and the transponders use the random number generator to assign a time slot for transmission of their response. Each interrogator includes an antenna system utilizing a switch matrix to connect multiple antennas having different polarizations, which ensures that all transponders within the range of the interrogator receive the signals from the interrogator. In a further aspect, the interrogators are arranged in groups, each group in nearest neighbor format, to reduce the time for reading the transponders and the emissions generated when more than one interrogator is active at the same time.

摘要： A method for reducing data loss and unavailability by integrating multiple levels of a storage hierarchy is provided. The method includes receiving a read request. In addition, the method includes recognizing a data failure in response to the read request. The method further includes locating an alternate source of the data to be read in response to recognizing the data failure. The alternate source includes data cached at devices in the storage hierarchy, data in a backup system, and cumulative changes to the data since the last backup. Moreover, the method includes responding to the read request with data from the alternate source.

摘要： A sacrificial circuit connector for interposition between male and female connector terminals for applications in which the expected connect and disconnect cycles may exceed the rated cycle limits of at least one of the connector terminals. The structure of sacrificial connector is largely determined by the need for connection compatibility between the sacrificial connector and the connector terminals. By making repeated disconnections at the sacrificial connector rather. than between the connector terminals, the usable life of at least one connector terminal can be significantly increased, thereby adding efficiency and reliability while decreasing costs.
