A job that receives as input a data stream is executed. For the job, it is iteratively determined a backlog growth over a first period of time; a backlog volume; and whether to adjust a quantity of processing resources. For each iteration for which the quantity of processing resources allocated to the job are determined to be adjusted, adjusting the quantity of processing resources allocated to the job. For each iteration for which the quantity of processing resources allocated to the job are determined not to be adjusted, maintaining the quantity of processing resources allocated to the job.

Resource allocation for computer processing

In order to create and access a secure storage account in a non-volatile memory device, an account identification value is calculated. A memory identification value is read from a first non-volatile memory device. The memory identification value and the account identification value are transmitted to a second non-volatile memory device, and a calculated credential is received. A command is transmitted to create a secure storage account in the first non-volatile memory device, where the command contains the credential and the account identification value. To access the account, a sequence is transmitted, containing the account identification value and a value based on the credential. A secure storage system contains a first non-volatile memory device that stores a memory identification value and contains a secure partition accessible using a credential, a second non-volatile memory device that can compute the credential, and a host adapted to create and access the secure partition.

Method and system for creating and accessing a secure storage area in a non-volatile memory card

A method and system of controlling access to a hardware or software feature provided by a host is disclosed. An application seeking authorization to access a feature transmits a credential and an index to a host agent within the host. The index is associated with the requested feature. The host agent reads credential validation data from a storage location corresponding to the index in a non-volatile storage device in communication with the host. The validity of the credential is determined based on the credential validation data, and an authorization is transmitted if the credential is valid. A third party can control the outcome of the validity determination by sending an instruction to the host to replace the credential validation data with invalid data that causes the validity test to fail. The third party can also control the non-volatile storage device data used by the application to calculate the credential.

Managing host application privileges

The embodiments described herein generally relate to a method and host device for enforcing a rule associated with a media file. In one embodiment, an observer module determines that a media player is attempting to play a media file. Before allowing the media player to play the media file, the observer module determines if the media file is associated with a rule that specifies an action to be taken if a playback event is detected. If it is determined that the media file is associated with a rule, the observer module observes playback of the media file to detect if the playback event specified in the rule occurred and takes the action specified in the rule if the playback event is detected.
