ADAPTIVE IDLE DETECTION IN A SOFTWARE-DEFINED DATA CENTER IN A HYPER-CONVERGED INFRASTRUCTURE
Granted: February 9, 2023
Application Number:
20230039875
An adaptive idle detection method determines whether software defined data centers (SDDCs) in a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) environment are idle. Idleness may be quantified via a coefficient of variation (CV) against resource usage, so as to adapt the idle detection method to SDDCs with different hardware specifications and workloads. Management overhead may also be filtered out by the idle detection method, and the idle detection method may use idleness scores to further reduce…

SYSTEMS THAT DEPLOY AND MANAGE APPLICATIONS WITH HARDWARE DEPENDENCIES IN DISTRIBUTED COMPUTER SYSTEMS AND METHODS INCORPORATED IN THE SYSTEMS
Granted: February 2, 2023
Application Number:
20230035310
The current document is directed to methods and systems that automatically deploy and manage applications that are associated with hardware dependencies. As one example, many machine-learning-based applications use specialized hardware accelerators during training phases since, in many cases, training of machine-learning-based applications and systems would be computationally intractable without the increased computational bandwidth provided by hardware accelerators. However, such…
