A method and tangible medium embodying code for allocating resource units of an allocatable resource among a plurality of clients in a computer is described. In the method, resource units are initially distributed among the clients by assigning to each of the clients a nominal share of the allocatable resource. For each client, a current allocation of resource units is determined. A metric is evaluated for each client, the metric being a function both of the nominal share and a usage-based factor, the usage-based factor being a function of a measure of resource units that the client is actively using and a measure of resource units that the client is not actively using. A resource unit can be reclaimed from a client when the metric for that client meets a predetermined criterion.

Embodiments of the present application provide a method and apparatus for bandwidth adjustment, an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium. The method comprise obtaining an overload node; determining whether an overload bandwidth of the overload node is greater than a total available bandwidth amount of all target nodes for the overload node; if not, determining the overload node as a to-be-adjusted node and determining a to-be-adjusted bandwidth amount of the to-be-adjusted node based on the overloaded bandwidth of the overload node; decreasing a total carrying bandwidth amount of the to-be-adjusted node by the to-be-adjusted bandwidth amount corresponding to the to-be-adjusted node, and increasing a total target carrying bandwidth amount of the to-be-adjusted node by the to-be-adjusted bandwidth amount corresponding to the to-be-adjusted node. By applying the method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the bandwidth can be adjusted more accurately.

Technologies for managing burst bandwidth requirements are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a software-defined network (SDN) controller monitors storage devices in a data center. If a storage device fails, the SDN controller manages the bandwidth used to replicate the data that was stored on the failed storage device. The SDN controller may allocate an initial amount of bandwidth based on one or more parameters of the storage device, and the SDN controller may increase the bandwidth in a series of discrete steps. In another embodiment, the SDN controller may predict a bandwidth burst based on sequential writes at a storage sled from several compute devices, and allocate bandwidth accordingly in a tiered manner.

A method for physically displaying and manipulating a communication network through physical objects and an interactive display includes: positioning, on a surface of an interactive display screen, a plurality of physical objects, each representing a node in a communication network; displaying a topography of the communication network including at least a plurality of nodes, where each node represented by a physical object is displayed beneath the respective physical object, and where open communication channels between nodes are visually displayed on the screen; receiving a physical gesture performed by a user between two of the plurality of physical objects; transmitting a signal to one of the physical objects or an access point of the communication network causing manipulation of the communication network based on the physical gesture; and updating the displayed topography of the communication network based on the manipulation of the communication network in real-time.

Techniques are described for enabling users of a cloud provider network to discover “availability groups” provided by a cloud provider network and to request the launch of computing resources into selected availability groups. Some cloud provider networks are expanding the definition of traditional “availability zones” to include new types of availability zones representing various types of provider substrate extension edge locations—including, for example, cloud-provider managed substrate extensions associated with separate control planes, 5G-enabled provider substrate extensions connected to communications service provider networks, and the like. Availability groups can be used to represent various defined collections these new types of provider substrate extensions, where each availability group may be defined such that includes a set of provider substrate extensions with a similar set of characteristics and capabilities.

A resource transfer system that provides intelligent distribution of resources based on resource routing selections, resource receipt selections, and/or resource processing advantages, and in response makes the resource transfers accordingly. The resources may be transferred based on the desired speed of distribution, the reason for distribution, the entities involved in the interaction, the level of security for distribution, level of protection for the interaction, or the like.

Systems and methods adjust workspaces based on available hardware resource of an IHS (Information Handling System) by which a user operates a workspace supported by a remote orchestration service. A security context and a productivity context of the IHS are determined based on reported context information. A workspace definition for providing access to a managed resource is selected based on the security context and the productivity context. A notification specifies a hardware resource of the IHS that is not used by the workspace definition, such as a microphone or camera that has not been enabled for use by workspaces. A productivity improvement that results from the updated productivity context that includes use of the first hardware resource is determined. Based on the productivity improvement, an updated workspace definition is selected that includes use of the first hardware resource in providing access to the managed resource via the IHS.

A system that provides services to clients may receive and service requests, various ones of which may require different amounts of work. The system may determine whether it is operating in an overloaded or underloaded state based on a current work throughput rate, a target work throughput rate, a maximum request rate, or an actual request rate, and may dynamically adjust the maximum request rate in response. For example, if the maximum request rate is being exceeded, the maximum request rate may be raised or lowered, dependent on the current work throughput rate. If the target or committed work throughput rate is being exceeded, but the maximum request rate is not being exceeded, a lower maximum request rate may be proposed. Adjustments to the maximum request rate may be made using multiple incremental adjustments. Service request tokens may be added to a leaky token bucket at the maximum request rate.

A control method, device, computer program and a computer-readable medium and method for data communication in an industrial network, wherein a stream is created between at least two stream subscribers, where resources are reserved on at least one node point, particularly bridges and/or switches between the at least two stream subscribers, and subsequently data is transmitted between the at least two stream subscribers, via the stream, and at least one subscriber of the stream interrupts the emittance and/or reception of data via the stream and resources that are reserved on at least one node point for the at least one subscriber of the stream are released for use for a data transmission that is lower priority than the data transmission via the stream, and where the reservation of the resources being maintained for the at least one subscriber.

Technologies for monitoring network traffic include a computing device that monitors network traffic at a graphics processing unit (GPU) of the computing device. The computing device manages computing resources of the computing device based on results of the monitored network traffic. The computing resources may include one or more virtual machines to process network traffic that is to be monitored at the GPU the computing device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
