| 20100054195 | Efficient Deallocation of Network Resources Based on Network Node Location Extrapolation - Deallocating resources allocated to a network communications session, including extrapolating an expected location of a selected node that belongs to a communications path of a network communications session, determining if the extrapolated location is beyond a predefined range from a neighboring node that belongs to the communications path of the network communications session and that immediately neighbors the selected node along the communications path, and deallocating any resources allocated to the network communications session if the extrapolated location is beyond the range. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100088424 | Efficient Buffer Utilization in a Computer Network-Based Messaging System - Buffering messages by receiving a message from a messaging client, writing the message to a logically-contiguous write-available region of a message buffer starting at a logically next write-available location within the write-available region, updating a head index to indicate a head boundary between a logically last message in the message buffer and a logically next write-available location in the message buffer, defining a packet including the message within the message buffer, transmitting a packet that includes a logically first message in the message buffer, and updating a tail index to indicate a tail boundary between a new logically last write-available location in the message buffer and a new logically first message in the message buffer. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100100873 | Instrumentation of Computer-Based Application Software - A method for instrumenting a computer-based software application, the method including instrumenting instructions of a computer-based software application, the instructions being in a first computer instruction language, with a native handler referencing instructions in a second language, and creating the instructions referenced by the native handler in the second computer instruction language to carry out at least one task during the execution of the computer-based software application. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100150150 | Optimizing Throughput of Data in a Communications Network - A method for transmitting data in a communications network is provided. The method comprises identifying a first data packet associated with a first transmission priority, wherein the first data packet encapsulates a plurality of messages designated for transmission to a destination; adding one or more additional messages to a second data packet associated with a second transmission priority to more optimally utilize capacity of the second data packet to encapsulate a plurality of messages, while the first data packet is being finalized for transmission, wherein the second transmission priority is less than the first transmission priority; and transmitting the first data packet before transmitting the second data packet. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20110078291 | DISTRIBUTED PERFORMANCE MONITORING IN SOFT REAL-TIME DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS - A novel and useful framework, system and method of monitoring one or more performance parameters (e.g., distributed system performance), filtering the performance parameters data collected and identifying one or more performance parameters that affect one or more target performance measures. This can be achieved in the case of a delay parameter, for example, by determining the root-cause of the increased delay and taking corrective actions in order to avoid violation of the timeliness constraints. The present invention is a statistical based performance monitoring mechanism that uses statistical signal processing techniques and is applicable, for example, in soft real-time distributed systems. The monitoring framework efficiently and distributively characterizes the behavior of the varying network conditions as a stochastic process and performs root-cause analysis to detecting the parameters which affect one or more target performance measures, e.g., latency. Once the affecting parameters are determined, corrective action is optionally taken. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110176418 | ADAPTIVE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT VIA ANALYTICS BASED VOLUME REDUCTION - A method of managing traffic over a communication link between a transmitting node and a receiving node is provided herein. The method includes: determining momentary traffic shaping constraints; accumulating incoming messages at the transmitting node into a data queue, based on the momentary traffic shaping constraints; transmitting the messages from the data queue to the receiving node over the communication link based on the momentary traffic shaping constraints; estimating a desired amount of data that needs to be discarded from messages in the data queue, based on: (a) the size of the data queue and (b) the momentary traffic shaping constraints; sorting data in the data queue by an order of importance, based on analytic objects; discarding, based on the analytic objects, the desired amount of data from the messages in the queued data, such that the discarded data is ranked lowest by the order of importance. | 07-21-2011 |
| 20110181437 | DATA REDUCTION IN A MULTI-NODE SYSTEM - An advanced metering infrastructure comprises intermediate nodes. The intermediate nodes receive data from child nodes and relay a subset of the data that is not according to an expected value. The expected value may be determined based on a forecasting function computed based on past data. The expected value may be a spatial shape in an n-dimension space. A data not within the spatial shape may be considered not in accordance with the expected value. In some case, the spatial shape is defined by a centroid and a radius. The spatial shape may shift over time based on a consumption profile, such as low consumption at noon, and high consumption at evening. The consumption profiles may be determined in a learning phase, as well as shifting of spatial shapes of each group over time. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110184676 | DATA REDUCTION IN A MULTI-NODE SYSTEM - An advanced metering infrastructure comprises intermediate nodes. The intermediate nodes receive data from child nodes and aggregate the data according to groups of child nodes. The aggregation provides for a reduced version of the data. The reduction is performed based on groups determined by clustering. The reduced version of the data comprises data describing a group of measurements over time, such as a centroid in an n-dimension space, number of customers in the group, radius of the group and the like. The centroid may shift over time based on a consumption profile, such as low consumption at noon, and high consumption at evening. The consumption profiles may be determined in a learning phase, as well as shifting of centroids of each group over time. | 07-28-2011 |
