Abstract:
A system and method for storing data in a content-addressable system is provided. The system includes a content-addressable storage system and a persistent cache. The persistent cache includes a temporary address generator that is configured to generate a temporary address which is associated with data to be stored in the persistent cache, and a non-content-addressable storage system configured to store and retrieve data in the persistent cache using the temporary address. The persistent cache further comprises an address translator configured to map a temporary address associated with the data in the non-content addressable storage system with a content address associated with the data in the content-addressable storage system.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for conveying wireless transmission allocation information are disclosed. In accordance with one method, an index indicating selected data stream parameters is received. In addition, an indication of a number of transmit antennas at a transmitter from which the data stream is transmitted is also received. Further, the selected parameters are determined from the index based on the number of transmit antennas at the transmitter. Moreover, data signals are received and processed with a processor in accordance with the selected data stream parameters.
Abstract:
ROADM node systems and methods of operation are disclosed. ROADM node systems may include transponder aggregators including transponders to add signals for switching through the ROADM node. The transponder aggregators may be constrained from adding signals on adjacent channels for simultaneous use. Further, the transponder aggregators may include an optical coupler in lieu of an optical multiplexer. The ROADM system may include a set of wavelength selective switches associated with output ports that can provide an additional filtering function for the added signals prior to transmission on a WDM network.
Abstract:
A method and system for coordinating energy management in a virtualized data center including a plurality of physical servers and a plurality of virtual machines (VMs), includes analyzing status information about the virtualized data center; determining server utilization target settings for server consolidation from the analyzed status information; and executing the server consolidation according to the determined server utilization target settings. Server consolidation can be executed by determining an effective size of each of the VMs and placing the VMs on the servers in a selective manner using an independent workload VM placement process, a correlation-aware VM placement process, or a migration-cost and correlation-aware VM placement process.
Abstract:
A method for transponder optical channel selection of optical signals from a transponder aggregator includes choosing wavelength division multiplexing channels to be dropped from a transponder aggregator receiving optical input signals, splitting all dropped wavelength division multiplexing channels into at least one transponder having a coherent receiver and transmitter, and tuning a local oscillator laser of the coherent receiver to a wavelength of one of the all dropped wavelength division multiplexing channels for selecting one of the all dropped wavelength division multiplexed channels.
Abstract:
A method system for diagnosing a detected failure in a computer system, compares a failure signature of the detected failure to an archived failure signature contained in a database to determine if the archived failure signature matches the failure signature of the detected failure. If the archived failure signature matches the failure signature of the detected failure, an archived solution is applied to the computer system that resolves the detected failure, the archived solution corresponding to a solution used to resolve a previously detected computer system failure corresponding to the archived failure signature in the database that matches the detected failure.
Abstract:
A system and method for prioritizing alerts includes extracting invariants to determine a stable set of models for determining relationships among monitored system data. Equivalent thresholds for a plurality of rules are computed using an invariant network developed by extracting the invariants. For a given time window, a set of alerts are received from a system being monitored. A measurement value of the alerts is compared with a vector of equivalent thresholds, and the set of alerts is ranked.
Abstract:
A method includes determining for each access point and each associated client that has traffic to exchange with the access point in either directions of a link a pattern of slots of times that causes minimum interference to clients of other access points in a wireless local area network; deriving a conflict graph of pair wise patterns of different access points representing which patterns conflict on a particular client, the conflict graph representing which patterns of the slots cannot be scheduled simultaneously in a slot so as to avoid interference; and generating a schedule for each access points in the slots such that no two conflicting patterns for two different access points are scheduled in the same slot.
Abstract:
Date is transmitted between a central office and customer premises by a wavelength division multiplex passive optical network. Two laser beams with separate wavelengths are transmitted from the central office to an optical network unit in the customer premises. Both laser beams carry downstream data. One laser beam is intensity modulated by on/off keying. The other laser beam is phase modulated by differential phase shift keying, which maintains a constant optical intensity. The first laser beam is received by a first optical receiver, which demodulates the first downstream data. The second laser beam is split in two. One laser beam is sent to a second optical receiver, which demodulates the second downstream data. The other laser beam is sent to a reflective semiconductor amplifier, which modulates the beam with upstream data and transmits the beam back to a receiver in the central optical system.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed that performs active feature probing using data augmentation. Active feature probing is a means of actively gathering information when the existing information is inadequate for decision making. The data augmentation technique generates factitious data which complete the existing information. Using the factitious data, the system is able to estimate the reliability of classification, and determine the most informative feature to probe, then gathers the additional information. The features are sequentially probed until the system has adequate information to make the decision.
