Mechanisms are provided for workflow data redistribution in a hybrid computing environment comprising a private portion and a public portion of the hybrid computing environment. A received user request, that is serviced by a workflow executed by one or more computing devices of the hybrid computing environment, is parsed to extract criteria of the workflow for servicing the user request. It is determined whether a catalog data structure exists in a public catalog data store of the public portion that satisfies the criteria of the workflow and if not, the user request is processed in a workflow manager computing system of the private portion to generate a catalog that satisfies the criteria of the workflow and generate a result. A portion of the catalog is redistributed by storing the portion of the catalog in the public catalog data store of the public portion.

Workflow data redistribution in hybrid public/private computing environments

An approach for recommending an application of a software code update. The approach receives components of an executable program. The approach scans the components to divide the executable program into units. The approach creates a logical layer of entry lists, based on the units, for instantiations of the executable program. The approach loads the instantiations of the executable program based on the logical layers. The approach monitors the execution of the instantiations to increment counters based on executions of the units. The approach creates a heatmap of the executions based on the counters. The approach generates a recommendation to update the executable based on the heatmap.

A method and system for registering images as non-fungible token images include a non-fungible token verifier verifying that an image has not been registered as a registered non-fungible token. Once the image is verified, an object recognizer recognizes objects of the image that are classified into a object queue. A characteristic extractor then extracts one or more characteristics of the queued objects. A non-fungible token denormalizer then denormalizes the image into one or more denormalized images each having denormalization attributes. A uniqueness purifier then inspects objects of each of the denormalized images for characteristics extracted from objects in the queue, where matching characteristics between the objects of the denormalized images and objects of the image define unique parameters. Non-fungible token register then registers the image as a unique non-fungible token image. A non-fungible token verification method is carried out along with, or independent of, the non-fungible token registration method.

Non-fungible token registration and verification methods

A method, computer system, and a computer program product are provided for managing an accelerated shutdown of a networked system having a having a plurality of nodes. The system to be shutdown is analyzed and a priority order is determined for the nodes. An interval period is also determined between each node according to the priority order. A leaf node set is constructed according to different shutdown types required for each node and a dependency tree is constructed by analyzing the leaf node sets. Each node is then shutdown according to the tree and the interval period determined. The dependency tree and the interval period is iteratively modified during the node shutdown until all nodes and ultimately the system shutdown has been completed.

Techniques for shutdown acceleration

Pre-initialization environments are generated on at least one hardware processor for running incoming applications. Resource usage of resources configured for the pre-initialization environments in running the incoming applications is monitored. Automatic tuning of a pre-initialization environment among the pre-initialization environments is deactivated, responsive to determining based on the resource usage of resources configured for the pre-initialization environment, that the pre-initialization environment is maintaining a threshold level of efficiency. Automatic tuning of the pre-initialization environment among the pre-initialization environments is activated, responsive to determining based on the resource usage of resources configured for the pre-initialization environment, that the pre-initialization environment is overloaded. Automatic tuning of the pre-initialization environment among the pre-initialization environments is activated, responsive to determining, based on the resource usage of resources configured for the pre-initialization environment, that the pre-initialization environment is idle.

A computer implemented method performs a task for a vehicle. A number of processor units detects a presence of the vehicle on a road. The number of processor units divides the task to be performed for the vehicle into subtasks. The number of processor units assigns the subtasks to Internet of Things nodes on possible paths that the vehicle can travel on the road. The number of processor units processes the subtasks using a set of the Internet of Things nodes on a selected path in the possible paths in real time as the vehicle moves on the selected path to form subtask results. The number of processor units combines the subtask results from the processed subtasks to form a task result for the task.

A method, computer program product, and computer system are provided. Statistics for each columnar table are extracted from an online analytical processing (OLAP) database catalog. A transaction table map is created from transaction log records of an online transaction processing (OLTP) database. The transaction table map includes a counter of log records in a transaction and a timestamp indicating a longevity of the transaction. Based on the counter or the longevity exceeding a predefined threshold, the transaction is transformed, and sent to the OLAP database where it is replayed.

Performance of row table to columnar table replication

In several aspects, a computing device analyzes data to determine its characteristics. The computing device selects at least one compression process based on the characteristics. A compression switch and a compression level are dynamically adjusted based on multiple factors including available system resources, desired storage savings and performance requirement. The compression level dynamically varies depending on the data being processed and a workload on a system. Performance of compression and decompression operations are continuously monitored for dynamically adjusting compression parameters to optimize performance.
