20080235159 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRICING AND CAPACITY PLANNING UNDER COMPETITION, IN ON DEMAND E-COMMERCE SYSTEMS WITH QUALITY-OF-SERVICE (QOS) GUARANTEES - There are provided an apparatus, a method, and a computer program product for joint determination of price and capacity. The apparatus includes a price and capacity determination device for jointly determining a price and a capacity for a given item offered for sale by a given e-retailer, based at least upon market competition. | 09-25-2008 |
20090327492 | TEMPLATE-BASED APPROACH FOR WORKLOAD GENERATION - A system and method for workload generation include a processor for identifying a workload model by determining each of a hierarchy for workload generation, time scales for workload generation, and states and transitions at each of the time scales, and defining a parameter by determining each of fields for user specific attributes, application specific attributes, network specific attributes, content specific attributes, and a probability distribution function for each of the attributes; a user level template unit corresponding to a relatively slow time scale in signal communication with the processor; an application level template corresponding to a relatively faster time scale in signal communication with the processor; a stream level template corresponding to a relatively fastest time scale in signal communication with the processor; and a communications adapter in signal communication with the processor for defining a workload generating unit responsive to the template units. | 12-31-2009 |
20120072456 | ADAPTIVE RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR MULTIPLE CORRELATED SUB-QUERIES IN STREAMING SYSTEMS - A system, method and computer program product for allocating computing resources to process a plurality of data streams. A system for allocating resources to process a plurality of data streams. The system includes, but is not limited to: a memory device and a processor being connected to the memory device. The system receives at least one query from a user. The system obtains at least one sub-query associated with the at least one query. The system identifies at least one data stream associated with the at least one sub-query. The system computes at least one probability that the at least one sub-query is true. The system assigns the computing resources to process the data streams according to the computed probability. | 03-22-2012 |
20140067845 | FACILITATING FIELD PROGRAMMABLE GATE ARRAY ACCELERATIONS OF DATABASE FUNCTIONS - Methods and arrangements for facilitating accelerations of database functions.
