US Patent:

8219667, Jul 10, 2012

Filed:

Sep 25, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/238209

Inventors:

Charles D. Brant - Raleigh NC, US
Esther M. Burwell - Durham NC, US
Robert L. Orr - Raleigh NC, US
Troy M. Volin - Chapel Hill NC, US
Douglas A. Wood - Raleigh NC, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709224

Abstract:

Computing resource DNA associated with a computing resource of a computing system can be received. The computing resource DNA can include one or more computing resource DNA elements representing identifying characteristics of the computing resource. A set of one or more potential matches for the received computing resource DNA can be ascertained from a set of reference data. When one or more potential matches exist, a confidence factor can be calculated for each potential match. The set of potential matches can then be refined. An optimum match for the computing resource DNA can be determined from the set of refined potential matches. The computing resource DNA can then be identified as a representation of the computing resource associated with the optimum match.

International Classification:

G06F 9/445

US Classification:

717177, 717174, 717175, 717176

Abstract:

A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer usable program code are provided for creating a set of virtual machine image for software. A virtual software resource template is retrieved. Metadata associated with the virtual software resource template is copied and the copy of the metadata is modified to generate personalized metadata for each virtual machine image in the set of virtual machine images. Then, the set of virtual machine images is deployed using the personalized metadata.

Filed:

Jul 5, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/176622

Inventors:

Charles David Brant - Raleigh NC, US
Esther Marie Burwell - Durham NC, US
Robert Lee Orr - Raleigh NC, US
Douglas Andrew Wood - Raleigh NC, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 19/00

US Classification:

701117

Abstract:

An approach is provided that gathers observational traffic data at traffic controller nodes. Each of the traffic controller nodes communicates observational traffic data to other traffic controller nodes via a network. The traffic controller nodes negotiate traffic control parameters. The negotiating process receives timing proposals from the other traffic controller nodes included in the related set. The nodes analyze the proposed timings based on the traffic controller's gathered observational traffic data. The traffic controller node prepares responses in response to the analysis. The traffic controller node sends the negotiation responses to the other traffic controller nodes. The traffic controller node also adjusts its traffic control parameters that control the node's cycle times based on the analysis.

Filed:

Nov 13, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/712677

Inventors:

Christopher Kempin - Holly Springs NC, US
Robert Orr - Raleigh NC, US
Rosalind Radcliffe - Durham NC, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F015/173

US Classification:

709224000

Abstract:

In a system and method for monitoring the integrity of a plurality of endpoint devices in a network, each endpoint device is in communication with a gateway device and transmits a periodic message to this gateway device. When the gateway device fails to receive a periodic message from an endpoint, the gateway device marks the endpoint as in trouble. The next time the gateway device fails to receive a periodic message from the same endpoint, the gateway device marks the endpoint as removed. The gateway is in communication with a central server and sends status update messages to this central server.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709223000

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method, system, and computer program product for capacity planning by function. The method comprises: periodically collecting metrics for a plurality of components in a dynamic system; periodically determining dynamic system membership for a function provided by the dynamic system; providing at least one summation formula; and determining system wide metrics by function using the component metrics, the dynamic system membership for the function, and the at least one summation formula.

International Classification:

G06F 12/08

US Classification:

711 6, 711E12016

Abstract:

The allocation of virtual memory within a virtual machine based upon the previous mapping of virtual memory blocks to physical memory blocks is optimized. Virtual memory blocks that have been mapped to a corresponding physical memory block over virtual memory blocks that are unmapped when fulfilling an allocation request can be reallocated preferentially.
