In some implementations, when an identifier is obtained for a network resource, the identifier may be stored in a cache with resolution parameters that were used in obtaining the identifier. When a new name resolution request is received, the cache may be examined to determine whether a corresponding second identifier is in the cache, and whether resolution parameters used to retrieve the second identifier in the cache match the resolution parameters for the new resolution request. If so, the second identifier may be returned from the cache. | 2013-08-01 |
20130198317 | SECURELY AND RELIABLY STORING DATA IN A DISPERSED STORAGE NETWORK - A method begins by ingesting distributed storage (DS) units of a set of DS units storing respective portions of data. The method continues with each of the ingesting DS units generating first respective partial redundancy data and second respective partial redundancy data, sending the first respective partial redundancy data to a first redundancy DS unit of the set of DS units, and sending the second respective partial redundancy data to a second redundancy DS unit. The method continues with the first redundancy DS unit generating first respective redundancy data based on the first respective partial redundancy data of each of the ingesting DS units and storing the first respective redundancy data. The method continues with the second redundancy DS unit generating second respective redundancy data based on the second respective partial redundancy data of each of the ingesting DS units and storing the second respective redundancy data. | 2013-08-01 |
20130198318 | PROCESSING ELEMENT MANAGEMENT IN A STREAMING DATA SYSTEM - Stream applications may inefficiently use the hardware resources that execute the processing elements of the data stream. For example, a compute node may host four processing elements and execute each using a CPU. However, other CPUs on the compute node may sit idle. To take advantage of these available hardware resources, a stream programmer may identify one or more processing elements that may be cloned. The cloned processing elements may be used to generate a different execution path that is parallel to the execution path that includes the original processing elements. Because the cloned processing elements contain the same operators as the original processing elements, the data stream that was previously flowing through only the original processing element may be split and sent through both the original and cloned processing elements. In this manner, the parallel execution path may use underutilized hardware resources to increase the throughput of the data stream. | 2013-08-01 |
20130198319 | ELASTIC ALLOCATION OF COMPUTING RESOURCES TO SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS - Embodiments monitor application performance metrics representing the performance of a software application executed by one or more host computing devices.

Based on the first amount of resources allocated by the different environments, execution of the first application by the first environment or by the second environment is halted. | 2013-08-01 |
20130198368 | LATENCY-BASED ROUTING AND LOAD BALANCING IN A NETWORK - Aspects of the disclosure relate to routing queries to a network repository and load balancing in a network. For a network repository having a plurality of content storage sites, relative replication latency of data among a pair of content storages sites can be monitored. Data indicative of such replication latency can be distributed among the content storage sites and can be provided, for example, to a network node in a system layer. A traffic and control manager can determine routing pathways for queries based at least in part on the relative replication latency data and performance conditions of network nodes. | 2013-08-01 |

20130198370 | METHOD FOR VISUALIZING SERVER RELIABILITY, COMPUTER SYSTEM, AND MANAGEMENT SERVER - The disclosed method quantifies the reliability of hardware and software installed in a physical server, and calculates an indication of the reliability of each of a plurality of physical servers. Configuration information, failure information, and running information of the hardware and software installed in the physical servers are collected while taking into account lifecycle information of the physical servers, and an indicator for the reliability of the hardware and software is quantified and calculated. Furthermore, an indicator of the reliability of a physical server as a whole is determined based on the indicators for the reliability of the hardware and the software. | 2013-08-01 |
