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.

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.

The method also includes determining a relevance score for to the item, where the relevance score represents a likelihood the item is a focus of the video conference. The method includes determining the relevance score is above a relevance threshold for the item. The method also includes adjusting, in response to the relevance score being above the relevance threshold, a focus the video feed, where the adjusting is configured to focus on the item.

Content based focus adjustment

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.
