Abstract:
The invention relates to systems, methods and computer-readable media for controlling access to compute resources in a compute environment such as a cluster or a grid. The method of providing conditional access to a compute environment comprises associating a required service level threshold with a compute environment, associating a service level with a requestor, receiving a request for access to the compute environment from the requestor; and, if the service level of the requestor meets the specified service level threshold, then allowing access to the compute resources. The threshold-based access may be enforced by reservations, policies or some other method.
Abstract:
Disclosed are systems, methods, computer readable media, and compute environments for establishing a schedule for processing a job in a distributed compute environment. The method embodiment comprises converting a topology of a compute environment to a plurality of endpoint-to-endpoint paths, based on the plurality of endpoint-to-endpoint paths, mapping each replica resource of a plurality of resources to one or more endpoints where each respective resource is available, iteratively identifying schedule costs associated with a relationship between endpoints and resources, and committing a selected schedule cost from the identified schedule costs for processing a job in the compute environment.

A system, method and non-transitory computer readable storage medium are disclosed for managing workload in a data center. The method includes receiving data related to at least one of a current state of workload in the compute environment at a current time and future workload scheduled to consume resources in the compute environment at a future time relative to the current time, wherein the compute environment comprises a plurality of nodes in which compute resources are reserved by a workload manager for consumption, and controlling a cooling system to selectively modify a temperature of at least one node in the compute environment based on the data.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a system and method of integrating an on-demand compute environment into a local compute environment. The method includes receiving a request from an administrator to integrate an on-demand compute environment into a local compute environment and, in response to the request, automatically integrating local compute environment information with on-demand compute environment information to make available resources from the on-demand compute environment to requestors of resources in the local compute environment.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for systems and methods of dynamically controlling a cluster or grid environment. The method comprises attaching a trigger to an object and firing the trigger based on a trigger attribute. The cluster environment is modified by actions initiated when the trigger is fired. Each trigger has trigger attributes that govern when it is fired and actions it will take. The use of triggers enables a cluster environment to dynamically be modified with arbitrary actions to accommodate needs of arbitrary objects. Example objects include a compute node, compute resources, a cluster, groups of users, user credentials, jobs, resources managers, peer services and the like.
Abstract:
A systems, method and computer-readable media are disclosed for providing a dynamic roll-back reservation mask in a compute environment. The method of managing compute resources within a compute environment includes, based on an agreement between a compute resource provider and a customer, creating a roll-back reservation mask for compute resources which slides ahead of current time by a period of time. Within the roll-back reservation mask, the method specifies a subset of consumers and compute resource requests which can access compute resources associated with the roll-back reservation mask and, based on received data, the method dynamically modifies at least one of (1) the period of time the roll-back reservation mask slides ahead of current time and (2) the compute resources associated with the roll-back reservation mask.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for dynamically managing data-centric searches. The method includes identifying an event related to domain-specific searches to a database, identifying data at a first memory location in the database, duplicating the data to a new memory location, and distributing processing more domain-specific searches amongst an expanded search space including the new memory location and the first memory location. The expanded search space can be reduced or collapsed in response to a reduction event by removing duplicate data from the first memory location or the new memory location and adjusting the distribution of processing amongst the remaining memory location. The method can optionally include organizing multiple events by network segment, identifying a network segment associated with domain-specific searches, and duplicating the data to a new memory location in close proximity to the identified network segment.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a system, method and computer-readable medium relating to managing resources within a compute environment having a group of nodes or computing devices. The method comprises, for each node in the compute environment: traversing a list jobs having a fixed time relationship, wherein for each job in the list, the following steps occur: obtaining a range list of available timeframes for each job, converting each availability timeframe to a start range, shifting the resulting start range in time by a job offset, for a first job, copying the resulting start range into a node range, and for all subsequent jobs, logically AND'ing the start range with the node range. Next, the method comprises logically OR'ing the node range with a global range, generating a list of acceptable resources on which to start and the timeframe at which to start and creating reservations according to the list of acceptable resources for the resources in the group of computing devices and associated job offsets.

Disclosed are systems, hybrid compute environments, methods and computer-readable media for dynamically provisioning nodes for a workload. In the hybrid compute environment, each node communicates with a first resource manager associated with the first operating system and a second resource manager associated with a second operating system. The method includes receiving an instruction to provision at least one node in the hybrid compute environment from the first operating system to the second operating system, after provisioning the second operating system, pooling at least one signal from the resource manager associated with the at least one node, processing at least one signal from the second resource manager associated with the at least one node and consuming resources associated with the at least one node having the second operating system provisioned thereon.
