Abstract: Operational data in a distributed processing system is managed by monitoring a workload of the system to establish a current assessment of operational data movement between data sources and data targets, receiving historical information on previous data movement including previous instances of movement resulting in a compromise of one or more quality-of-service criteria, determining from the current assessment and historical information that upcoming operational data actions will not meet a particular quality-of-service criterion, and responsively applying a data management optimization infrastructure (data backplane services) adapted to advance the particular quality-of-service criterion according to definitions for the data sources and data targets. The operational outcome is predicted using a cognitive system trained with historical information including historical operational factors correlated with historical operational outcomes relative to the quality-of-service criteria.

Abstract: Techniques to identify segments of information space through active adaption of environment context are provided. A first user request is received by an artificial intelligence (AI) system, and a first segment of information is retrieved from a heterogeneous storage medium, where the first segment of information is located in an upper layer of the heterogeneous storage medium. Upon determining that the first segment of information does not resolve the first user request, the first segment of information is sunk to a relatively lower layer of the heterogeneous storage medium, a second segment of information is retrieved from the relatively lower layer of the heterogeneous storage medium, and upon determining that the second segment of information resolves the first user request, the second segment of information is surfaced to the upper layer of the heterogeneous storage medium.

Abstract: A method for automatic verification of optimization of high level constructs includes generating a first executable code by compiling a computer program that includes a high level construct. The compiling includes generating a first set of machine instructions for the high level construct and storing compile-time information for the high level construct. The method further includes optimizing the first executable code which includes converting the first executable code into an intermediate language representation. The optimization further includes generating a second executable code. For this, the method includes generating a second set of machine instructions for the high level construct from the intermediate language representation. If the behavior of the first set of machine instructions and the second set of machine instructions matches, the second set of machine instructions is included in the second executable code, otherwise the first set of machine instructions is included.

Abstract: A method of depositing a sub-stoichiometric metal-oxide, the method comprising: selecting a first precursor comprising a metal and a first ligand; selecting a second precursor comprising the metal and a second ligand; exposing a substrate(102) to the first precursor during a first pulse of an atomic layer deposition cycle; exposing the substrate(102) to the second precursor during a second pulse of the atomic layer deposition cycle, the second pulse occurring directly after the first pulse; and exposing the substrate(102) to an oxidant during a third pulse of the atomic layer deposition cycle.

Abstract: Methods, systems and software products for configuring a virtual port for a physical server to support packets transfer between the physical server and other network nodes over a virtual network, comprising transmitting one or more configuration Protocol Data Units (PDU) of an extended Link Layer Data Protocol (LLDP) to a Network Interface Card (NIC) of a physical server connected to a network, the configuration PDU(s) comprising one or more extension Type Length Values (TLV) defining one or more virtual network settings for a virtual network port mapping the physical server in a virtual network. The NIC is configured to deploy the virtual network port to support exchange of packets between the physical server and one or more of a plurality of nodes of the virtual network by processing outgoing and incoming packets according to one or more virtual network virtualization protocols using one or more of the virtual network settings.
