Techniques for preventing concurrent execution of an infrastructure orchestration service are described. Worker nodes can receive instructions, or tasks, for deploying infrastructure resources and can provide heartbeat notifications to scheduler nodes, also considered a lease. A signing proxy can track the heartbeat notifications sent from the worker nodes to the scheduler node. The signing proxy can receive requests corresponding to a performance of the tasks assigned to the worker nodes. The signing proxy can determine whether the lease between each worker node and the scheduler is valid. If the lease is valid, the signing proxy may make a call to services on behalf of the worker node, and if the lease is not valid, the signing proxy may not make a call to services on behalf of the worker node. Instead, the signing proxy may cut off all outgoing network traffic, blocking access of the worker node to services.

A processor-implemented method is disclosed. The method includes: obtaining, from an activity logging system, activity data associated with one or more defined computing tasks, the activity data indicating progress towards completion of the one or more defined computing tasks, the defined computing tasks being associated with one or more projects; obtaining, from a resource usage monitoring system, time-based resource tracking data associated with at least one of the projects, the resource tracking data including project identifying data associated with the at least one project and project time data identifying one or more time periods reflecting use of a computing resource in association with the at least one project; determining mappings of the one or more time periods to the one or more defined computing tasks based on the project identifying data and the activity data associated with the one or more defined computing tasks; determining, based on the mappings, that at least one task-based resource usage criterion is satisfied; and in response to determining that the at least one task-based resource usage criterion is satisfied, generating a notification of resource usage for display on a computing device.

An embodiment includes issuing an indication that a thread is a time-critical thread. The embodiment initiates an active partition migration, from a source server to a destination server, of a source partition on which the program is stored. The embodiment stores, during the migration, records of locations of pages in memory referenced by the time-critical thread. The embodiment detects that a migration threshold has been reached, indicative of a threshold portion of the migration being complete. Responsive to detecting the migration threshold, the embodiment performs a priority migration of the time-critical thread. The priority migration includes suspending execution of the time-critical thread at the source server, retrieving the records of the locations of the pages in memory referenced by the time-critical thread, and issuing a command to transfer content from the pages to the destination server. The embodiment also includes issuing a migration command to complete the migration.

A method can include storing first instruction data in a first region of a nonvolatile memory device; mapping addresses of the first region to predetermined memory address spaces of a processor device; executing the first instruction data from the first region with the processor device; receiving second instruction data for the processor device. While the first instruction data remains available to the processor device, the second instruction data can be written into a second region of the nonvolatile memory device. By operation of the processor device, addresses of the second region can be remapped to the predetermined memory address spaces of the processor device; and executing the second instruction data from the second region with the processor device.

A method, an apparatus, a system, and an electronic device for selecting an intelligent analysis algorithm. The method includes: acquiring image data of a monitoring scene (S101); analyzing the image data to obtain scene contents contained in the image data (S102); determining an intelligent analysis algorithm corresponding to each of the scene contents (S103); and selecting a target intelligent analysis algorithm(s) from intelligent analysis algorithms corresponding to the scene contents according to a load capacity of a compute node used for loading the intelligent analysis algorithms, wherein a total algorithm load of the target intelligent analysis algorithm(s) is not greater than the load capacity of the compute node (S104). The method for selecting an intelligent analysis algorithm realizes an automatic selection of the intelligent analysis algorithm, which can reduce the manual workload, improve the selection efficiency of the intelligent analysis algorithm, reduce overload of the compute node, reduce abnormal analysis results caused by the overload of the compute node, and reduce an improper selection of the intelligent analysis algorithm due to the low degree of professionalism of the construction personnel, which affects the analysis effect.

A request to execute a workload that utilizes an amount of resources to be executed is received from a client device. Corresponding resources that are available at multiple non-uniform memory access (NUMA) nodes are received from one or more host systems. A particular NUMA node of the multiple NUMA nodes is identified in view of the particular NUMA node having available resources that are greater than the amount of resources to execute the workload. A scheduling hint is assigned to the workload that indicates that the particular NUMA node is to be used to execute the workload.

The present disclosure includes systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for discovering capabilities of a hardware (HW) accelerator card. A processor may communicate a request for a listing of acceleration services to a HW accelerator card connected to the processor via the communication interface. The HW accelerator card may retrieve the listing from memory and provide a response to the processor that includes a listing of the HW acceleration services provided by the HW accelerator card.

A sharable resource of a first user's environment is identified. The sharable resource is configured as sharable in a shared computer environment. A matching resource that is sufficiently similar to the sharable resource is located. The matching resource is used by pre-existing users of the shared computer environment. Agreement from the pre-existing users for the first user to access the matching resource is obtained. The first user is then provided access to the matching resource.
