    Abstract: Disclosed are aspects of memory-aware placement in systems that include graphics processing units (GPUs) that are virtual GPU (vGPU) enabled. In some embodiments, a computing environment is monitored to identify graphics processing unit (GPU) data for a plurality of virtual GPU (vGPU) enabled GPUs of the computing environment, a plurality of vGPU requests are received. A respective vGPU request includes a GPU memory requirement. GPU configurations are determined in order to accommodate vGPU requests. The GPU configurations are determined based on an integer linear programming (ILP) vGPU request placement model. Configured vGPU profiles are applied for vGPU enabled GPUs, and vGPUs are created based on the configured vGPU profiles. The vGPU requests are assigned to the vGPUs.

    Abstract: The current document is directed to methods and systems that employ image-recognition and machine learning to directly measure application-program response time from changes in a user interface displayed by the application program in much the same way that application-program users perceive response times when manually issuing commands through the user interface. The currently disclosed methods and systems involve building recognition models, training the recognition models to recognize application-program states from changes in the user interface displayed by the application program, and using the recognition models to monitor the user interface displayed by an application program to detect and assign timestamps to application-program state changes, from which the elapsed time for various different operations is computed. This approach mirrors the methods by which users perceive application-program response time when users initiate operations through the application-program-provided user interface and visually monitor progress of the operations as reflected in changes to the displayed application-program user interface.
