The present invention includes embodiments of systems and methods for facilitating users' selection of compute infrastructure options that satisfy predefined performance goals. The integrated, multi-provider cloud-based platform of the present invention employs abstraction layers for communicating with and integrating the resources of multiple back-end hardware providers, multiple software providers and multiple license servers. These abstraction layers and associated functionality free users not only from having to implement and configure provider-specific protocols, but also from having to address interdependencies among selected hardware, software and license servers on a job-level basis or at other levels of granularity.

Compute recommendation engine

An internal combustion engine system includes an engine housing having a combustion cylinder, and a piston movable within the combustion cylinder to increase a pressure therein to an autoignition threshold for injected fuel. The piston includes a piston crown having a combustion face forming a combustion bowl, and varied in profile to form jet-jet interaction limiters at locations offset from fuel spray jet paths from a fuel injector. The jet-jet interaction limiters include a bowl component and a step component protruding, respectively, within the combustion bowl and a step located transitioning between the combustion bowl and a circumferential rim of the piston. Limiting jet-jet interaction limits soot production in exhaust produced by the engine.

Internal combustion engine and piston having stepped combustion bowl with non-axisymmetric profile

A piston for an internal combustion engine includes a piston having a bowl surface forming a combustion bowl, a rim surface forming an annular rim, and a gallery surface exposed to a backside cooling gallery of the piston. The bowl surface forms a bowl profile varied circumferentially around a piston center axis, and the gallery surface forms a gallery profile that is varied circumferentially around the piston center axis and is congruous with the bowl profile. The gallery surface is concave to the combustion bowl, convex to the backside cooling gallery, and forms no edges exposed within the backside cooling gallery. A wall formed between the combustion bowl and the backside cooling gallery has a heat-dissipation wall thickness defined by the varied bowl profile and the varied gallery profile.
