Abstract:
A method for utilizing computing resources in a vRAN is described. A predicted resource load is determined for data traffic processing of wireless communication channels served by the vRAN using a trained neural network model. The data traffic processing comprises at least one of PHY data processing or MAC processing for a 5G RAN. Computing resources are allocated for the data traffic processing based on the predicted resource load. Wireless parameter limits are determined for the wireless communication channels that constrain utilization of the allocated computing resources using the trained neural network model, including setting one or more of a maximum number of radio resource units per timeslot or a maximum MCS index for the wireless parameter limits. The data traffic processing is performed using the wireless parameter limits to reduce load spikes that cause a violation of real-time deadlines for the data traffic processing.
Abstract:
A cloud-connected baseboard management controller (BMC) enables remote management of all management layers of edge-based host machines from the cloud without imposition of costs associated with firewalls and private data connections. A remote management agent incorporated into the BMC enables creation of a remote management-enabled bare-metal server paradigm in which remote management from the cloud is supported at the lowest hardware levels which provides for cost-effective utilization of network resources down to even a single isolated node.
Abstract:
Described are examples for deploying workloads in a cloud-computing environment. In an aspect, based on a desired number of workloads of a process to be executed in a cloud-computing environment and based on one or more failure probabilities, an actual number of workloads of the process to execute in the cloud-computing environment to provide a level of service can be determined and deployed. In another aspect, a standby workload can be executed as a second instance of the process without at least a portion of the separate configuration used by the multiple workloads, and based on detecting termination of one of multiple workloads, the standby workload can be configured to execute based on the separate configuration of the separate instance of the process corresponding to the one of the multiple workloads.
Abstract:
Technologies are described for performing hybrid rate control that switches between a delay-based mode and a passive loss-based mode for a flow of network traffic. The switching can be performed based on the presence of loss-based TCP network flows. For example, rate control can be performed for a flow of network traffic in a delay-based mode. When the presence of a loss-based TCP network flow is detected, the flow of network traffic can be switched from the delay-based mode to a passive loss-based mode and rate control can be performed in the passive loss-based mode. When the loss-based TCP flow is no longer detected, the flow of network traffic can be switched back to the delay-based mode.
Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to controlling bandwidth usage using a token-based crediting and debiting scheme and to allowing connections to temporarily exceed bandwidth allocations using token credits. In one scenario, a bandwidth managing service receives a request to establish a connection with a network. The connection is associated with various subscribers that are part of a subscription. The bandwidth managing service assigns tokens to the connection, which are distributed from a pool of tokens that represents a total available bandwidth for the network. The bandwidth managing service receives a data transfer request from a logical user to transfer data over the network connection, where the data transfer request includes at least some of the assigned tokens. The bandwidth managing service also allocates to the connection a specified amount of bandwidth commensurate with the number of assigned tokens provided in the data transfer request.
Abstract:
An audio decoder provides a combination of decoding components including components implementing base band decoding, spectral peak decoding, frequency extension decoding and channel extension decoding techniques. The audio decoder decodes a compressed bitstream structured by a bitstream syntax scheme to permit the various decoding components to extract the appropriate parameters for their respective decoding technique.
Abstract:
Described are examples for monitoring performance metrics of one or more workloads in a cloud-computing environment and reallocating compute resources based on the monitoring. Reallocating compute resources can include migrating workloads among nodes or other resources in the cloud-computing environment, reallocating hardware accelerator resources, adjusting transmit power for virtual radio access network (vRAN) workloads, and/or the like.
Abstract:
Technologies are described for performing equation-based rate control using delay. For example, an observed network data rate and a network delay can be obtained for a network communication. A target network data rate can be calculated using the observed network data rate and the network delay. The target network data rate is calculated using an equation-based approach. For example, the equation-based rate control can set the target network data rate to a value that is directly proportional to the observed network data rate and inversely related to the network delay. The target network data rate is used to set the bitrate for the network communication.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, methods and systems are disclosed for a hybrid rate plus window based congestion protocol that controls the rate of packet transmission into the network and provides low queuing delay, practically zero packet loss, fair allocation of network resources amongst multiple flows, and full link utilization. In one embodiment, a congestion window may be used to control the maximum number of outstanding bits, a transmission rate may be used to control the rate of packets entering the network (packet pacing), a queuing delay based rate update may be used to control queuing delay within tolerated bounds and minimize packet loss, and aggressive ramp-up/graceful back-off may be used to fully utilize the link capacity and additive-increase, multiplicative-decrease (AIMD) rate control may be used to provide fairness amongst multiple flows.

A distributed computing system receives a program that expresses computation upon one or more sets of distributed key-value pairs (DKVs) and one or more global variables (GVs). The system distributes an assembly that includes at least a compiled binary of the program to the nodes of a computing cluster, with different portions of the DKVs being stored across the plurality of nodes of the computing cluster. The system causes execution of the assembly by each of the plurality of nodes of the computing cluster, the ones of the plurality of nodes executing the assembly using the different portions of the one or more DKVs stored thereon.
