A method to associate a set of first entities to a set of second entities, e.g., computing jobs to processors, agent teams to workspace resources within a physical location, or the like. The NG is seeded using a force directed graph (FDG), whose “seed” particles represents the agents and their relative interconnectedness. The FDG is first brought into an equilibrium state to define a solution space. A relative coordinate system of the FDG solution space is then translated to a number of vertices represented in the NG, and then an initial seeding of the seed particles in the NG (based on their relative positions in the FDG solution space) is carried out. A search is then performed. During the search, each seed vertex releases its embedded agents to adjacent vertices to enable the agents to search for and achieve a required count. During this process, the seed particles grow to the desired size (with their constituent first entities then located at the NG vertices) to complete the agent-to-resource allocation process.

Disclosed are systems, methods and computer-readable media for controlling and managing the identification and provisioning of resources within an on-demand center as well as the transfer of workload to the provisioned resources. One aspect involves creating a virtual private cluster within the on-demand center for the particular workload from a local environment. A method of managing resources between a local compute environment and an on-demand environment includes detecting an event associated with a local compute environment and based on the detected event, identifying information about the local environment, establishing communication with an on-demand compute environment and transmitting the information about the local environment to the on-demand compute environment, provisioning resources within the on-demand compute environment to substantially duplicate the local environment and transferring workload from the local-environment to the on-demand compute environment. The event can be a threshold or a triggering event within or outside of the local environment.

Systems and methods to reserve resources is provided. In exemplary embodiments, a selection of a profile from a user is received. A dynamic graphical user interface is generated, using one or more processors. The dynamic graphical user interface allows the user to configure a topology based on the selected profile. The dynamic graphical user interface provides input fields in which the user may select a resource. An indication of the selected applicable topology property for configuring the topology is received. A topology is automatically generating based in part on the selected applicable topology property.

A path computation method involves receiving (200) a request for computation of a new path in the network, the request indicating a future time interval when the path is desired. Subsequently a future network status is generated (210, 212, 214), having a representation of availability of path resources at the future time interval, based on selected paths already reserved at that future time interval. Then there is a step of computing (220) which of the path resources to select for the new path according to the future network status. By generating this future network status when the future time interval is known, it can be generated in respect of a limited time interval rather than covering all possible future reservable times. Thus the benefits of time aware path computation can be achieved without the need for maintaining a huge database of availability at all future times, of all the path resources.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for transmitting uplink control information and an apparatus, applicable to a multi-carrier system. A user terminal receives physical layer signaling from a network device, where the physical layer signaling includes first indication information. The user terminal determines, according to the first indication information, a bit quantity of periodic CSI that can be sent on a channel resource or a piece quantity of periodic CSI that can be sent on a channel resource. The user terminal determines, according to the bit quantity or the piece quantity of the periodic CSI that can be sent, to-be-sent periodic CSI from periodic CSI corresponding to multiple downlink carriers. The user terminal sends HARQ-ACK information and the to-be-sent periodic CSI on the channel resource.

An example method of managing virtualized computing resources provided by a public cloud includes: grouping subscriptions in the public cloud into reservations, each of the reservations including constraints on virtualized computing resources provided by at least one of the subscriptions; allocating the reservations among a plurality of principals; receiving a request to provision a workload from a user associated with a first principal of the plurality of principals, wherein the workload includes metadata describing constraints of the workload; generating a deployment plan for the workload based on the metadata therein and at least one of the reservations allocated to the first principal, the deployment plan specifying a first subscription of the subscriptions; and transmitting a deployment.

Systems as described herein may include generating an aggregated service status report for a real-time service delivery platform. A plurality of services running in a service domain may be determined. A request for a status of system behavior corresponding to a particular service may be received. Service connection details of the particular service may be discovered and metric data of real-time data movement may be tracked. Real-time snapshot aggregation of the particular service may be provided. In a variety of embodiments, a real-time system behavior report for the service across availability zones may be presented.

A method may include receiving a request to define a primary resource. The primary resource may enable access to a primary handler that corresponds to a logical entity that controls a device or a port or another resource. The method may include identifying a primary domain object for the primary resource. The primary domain object maps the primary resource to the primary handler. The primary domain object represents a state of the primary resource. The method may include identifying an interface for the primary resource. The interface may be configured to receive a command through a link from a client. The method may include receiving a state request associated with the interface for the primary resource, wherein the primary domain object handler is configured to send a state message indicating the state of the primary resource in response to the request.

A device configured to receive a data set and instructions for processing the data set from a network device. The device is further configured to parse the data set into a plurality of data segments to be processed, and generate a plurality of instruction segments from the received instructions. The device is further configured to assign each instruction segment to a resource unit, and to generate control information with instructions for combining processed data segments from the resource units. The device is further configured to receive processed data segments from the resource units, to generate the processed data set, and to output the processed data set to the network device.

A method for sharing computer device resources includes establishing a sharing domain and storing information of user terminals joined to the sharing domain. Information of shareable resources in the sharing domain is obtained. Requests for allocation of computer device resources such as data storage and data traffic per period may be sent out by a user terminal, and allocations of resources for sharing may be made according to one or more predetermined rules.
