A system and method for backing up workloads for multiple tenants of a cloud computing system are disclosed. A method of backing up workloads for multiple tenants of a computing system includes triggering an archival process according to an archival policy set by a tenant, and executing the archival process by reading backup data of the tenant stored in a backup storage device of the computer system and transmitting the backup data to an archival store designated in the archival policy, and then deleting or invalidating the backup data stored in the backup storage device.

In one example, a computer implemented method may include retrieving resource definition data corresponding to an endpoint. The resource definition data includes resource type information. Further, an API response may be obtained from the endpoint by querying the endpoint using an API call. Furthermore, the API response may be parsed and a resource model corresponding to the resource definition data may be populated using the parsed API response. The resource model may include resource information and associated metric information correspond to a resource type in the resource type information. Further, a resource and/or metric data associated with the resource may be determined using the populated resource model. The resource may be associated with an application being executed in the endpoint.

Disclosed are aspects of virtual graphics processing unit (vGPU) scheduling-aware virtual machine migration. Graphics processing units (GPUs) that are compatible with a current virtual GPU (vGPU) profile for a virtual machine are identified. A scheduling policy matching order for a migration of the virtual machine is determined based on a current vGPU scheduling policy for the virtual machine. A destination GPU is selected based on a vGPU scheduling policy of the destination GPU being identified as a best available vGPU scheduling policy according to the scheduling policy matching order. The virtual machine is migrated to the destination GPU.

In one example, a computer implemented method may include retrieving resource definition data corresponding to an endpoint. The resource definition data includes adapter information and resource type information. Further, an adapter instance may be generated using the adapter information to establish communication with the endpoint. Furthermore, an API response may be obtained, via the adapter instance, from the endpoint by querying the endpoint using an API call. Further, the API response may be parsed. Further, a resource model corresponding to the resource definition data may be populated using the parsed API response. The resource model may include resource information and associated metric information corresponding to a resource type in the resource type information. Furthermore, a resource and/or metric data associated with the resource may be determined using the populated resource model. The resource may be associated with an application being executed in the endpoint.

A processor includes a register to store an encoded pointer to a variable in stack memory. The encoded pointer includes an encrypted portion and a fixed plaintext portion of a memory address corresponding to the variable. The processor further includes circuitry to, in response to a memory access request for associated with the variable, decrypt the encrypted portion of the encoded pointer to obtain first upper address bits of the memory address and a memory allocation size for a variable, decode the encoded pointer to obtain the memory address, verify the memory address is valid based, at least in part on the memory allocation size, and in response to determining that the memory address is valid, allow the memory access request.

Methods, systems, and devices for the dynamic selection of cores for processing responses are described. A memory sub-system can receive, from a host system, a read command to retrieve data. The memory sub-system can include a first core and a second core. The first core can process the read command based on receiving the read command. The first core can identify the second core for processing a read response associated with the read command. The first core can issue an internal command to retrieve the data from a memory device of the memory sub-system. The internal command can include an indication of the second core selected to process the read response.

A system for container migration includes containers running instances of an application running on a cluster, an orchestrator with a controller, a memory, and a processor in communication with the memory. The processor executes to monitor a vitality metric of the application. The vitality metric indicates that the application is in either a live state or a dead state. Additionally, horizontal scaling for the application is disabled and the application is scaled-down until the vitality metric indicates that the application is in the dead state. Responsive to the vitality metric indicating that the application is in the dead state, the application is scaled-up until the vitality metric indicates that the application is in the live state. Also, responsive to the vitality metric indication transitioning from the dead state to the live state, the application is migrated to a different cluster while the horizontal scaling of the application is disabled.

An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes one or more processors comprising register sharing circuitry to receive meta-information indicating a number of threads that are to be disabled and provide an indication that an associated thread is disabled, a plurality of General Purpose Register Files (GRFs), wherein one or more of the plurality of GRFs is associated with one of the plurality of threads and a plurality of multiplexers coupled to the one or more GRFs to receive the indication from the register sharing circuitry and disable thread access to an associated GRF based on an indication that a thread is to be disabled.

Access to data and resources in a multi-tenant computing system is managed by tagging the data and resources with attributes, as well as by tagging users with attributes. Tenant-specific access policies are configured. When an access request is received from a workload, a policy decision engine processes the attributes that are tagged to the requesting workload (e.g., user, application, etc.) as well as those tagged to the requested data or resource, given a relevant tenant-specific policy. An access decision is provided in response to the access request, and the access decision can be enforced by a tenant-specific enforcement system.

Systems and methods are disclosed for scheduling threads on a processor that has at least two different core types, such as an asymmetric multiprocessing system. Each core type can run at a plurality of selectable voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) states. Threads from a plurality of processes can be grouped into thread groups. Execution metrics are accumulated for threads of a thread group and fed into a plurality of tunable controllers for the thread group. A closed loop performance control (CLPC) system determines a control effort for the thread group and maps the control effort to a recommended core type and DVFS state. A closed loop thermal and power management system can limit the control effort determined by the CLPC for a thread group, and limit the power, core type, and DVFS states for the system. Deferred interrupts can be used to increase performance.
