Immunodeficiency virus vaccine inserts of the present invention express non-infectious HIV virus-like particles (VLP) bearing multiple viral epitopes. VLPs allow presentation of the epitopes to multiple histocompatability types. Also described are methods for immunizing a patient by delivery of a novel plasmid of the present invention to a patient. Optionally, the immunization protocol may include a booster vaccination that may be a live vector vaccine such as a recombinant pox virus or modified vaccinia Arbora vector having a transcription cassette expressing the same vaccine insert as the primary immunizing vector. | 08-20-2015 |

20150378753 | ROLLING RESOURCE CREDITS FOR SCHEDULING OF VIRTUAL COMPUTER RESOURCES - A network-based virtual computing resource provider may offer virtual compute instances that implement rolling resource credits for scheduling virtual computing resources. Work requests for a virtual compute instance may be received at a virtualization manager. A resource credit balance may be determined for the virtual compute instance. The resource credit balance may accumulate resource credits in rolling fashion, carrying over unused credits from previous time periods. Resource credits may then be applied when generating scheduling instructions to provide to a physical resource to perform the work requests, such as a physical CPU in order to increase the utilization of the resource according to the number of credits applied. Applied resource credits may then be deducted from the credit balance. | 12-31-2015 |
20160077845 | VARIABLE TIMESLICES FOR PROCESSING LATENCY-DEPENDENT WORKLOADS - A virtualization host may implement variable timeslices for processing latency dependent workloads. Multiple virtual compute instances on a virtualization host may utilize virtual central processing units (vCPUs) to obtain physical processing resources, such as one or more central processing units (CPUs). A vCPU currently utilizing a CPU to performing processing work according to a scheduled timeslice may be preempted by a latency dependent vCPU before completion of the scheduled timeslice. The latency-dependent vCPU may complete processing work, and utilization of the CPU may be returned to the vCPU. A preemption compensation may be determined for the scheduled timeslice to increase the scheduled timeslice for the vCPU such that utilization for the vCPU is performed according to the increased scheduled timeslice. | 03-17-2016 |
20160077846 | RESOURCE CREDIT POOLS FOR REPLENISHING INSTANCE RESOURCE CREDIT BALANCES OF VIRTUAL COMPUTE INSTANCES - A provider network may implement resource credit pools to replenish resource credit balances for virtual compute instances. A resource credit pool may be maintained that makes resource credits available to virtual compute instances authorized to obtain resource credits from the resource credit pool. Resource credits from the resource credit pool may be applicable to increase utilization of physical computer resource for a virtual compute instance. In response to a resource credit request for an authorized virtual compute instance, a number of resource credits to add to an individual resource credit balance for the authorized virtual compute instance may be determined. A response may be sent indicating the number of resource credits to add to the individual resource credit balance and the resource credit pool may be updated to remove the number of resource credits from the resource credit pool. | 03-17-2016 |
20160080484 | DYNAMIC VIRTUAL RESOURCE REQUEST RATE CONTROL FOR UTILIZING PHYSICAL RESOURCES - A virtualization host may implement dynamic virtual resource request rate controls for physical resources. Individual virtual resource request queues may be maintained for different virtual compute instances implemented at a virtualization host for a particular physical computer resource. After placing a work request from one of the individual virtual resource request queues into a physical resource request queue to be performed at the physical computer resource, a delay may be dynamically determined based, at least in part, on the workload of the physical resource request queue. After imposing the delay, a next work request from the individual virtual resource request queue may be placed into the physical resource request queue. In at least some embodiments, the dynamically determined delay may include a randomly added delay. | 03-17-2016 |
