Methods, systems, and computer program products for cold-start service placement over on-demand resources are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes obtaining a performance requirement profile comprising performance requirements of a service that vary over time; determining a plurality of incarnations for the service, wherein each incarnation is associated with a level of performance provided by the incarnation for the service, resource requirements of the incarnation, and a type of computing node the incarnation is configured to execute on; identifying computing nodes having different types and different resource capacities; jointly scheduling (i) the computing nodes and (ii) one or more of the incarnations on the computing nodes over a time interval such that a cumulative level of performance of the incarnations scheduled at each timepoint in the time interval satisfies the performance requirement profile of the service.

Cold-start service placement over on-demand resources

Methods, systems, and computer program products for accelerating inference of transformer-based models are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes obtaining a machine learning model comprising a plurality of transformer blocks, a task, and a natural language dataset; generating a compressed version of the machine learning model based on the task and the natural language dataset, wherein the generating comprises: obtaining at least one set of tokens, wherein each token in the set corresponds to one of the items in the natural language dataset, identifying and removing one or more redundant output activations of different ones of the plurality of transformer blocks for the at least one set of tokens, and adding one or more input activations corresponding to the one or more removed output activations into the machine learning model at subsequent ones of the plurality of the transformer blocks; and outputting the compressed version of the machine learning model to at least one user.

Accelerating inference of transformer-based models

One embodiment provides a computer implemented method, including: receiving an application including a plurality of services to be hosted on a remote services environment; obtaining, a resource profile identifying a usage of a resource by a given service of the plurality of services over a period of time; splitting, based upon the resource profile corresponding to a given service, the given service into a plurality of service slices; selecting, for each of the plurality of service slices an incarnation fulfilling a resource demand requirement and a service-performance-offering, wherein an incarnation has a total demand value based upon a resource capacity of a node at the remote services environment; and assigning, for each of the plurality of service slices the incarnation selected to at least one node within the remote services environment based upon the resource capacity of the at least one node.

Incarnation selection for application hosting on remote services environment

Methods and systems for managing energy sources and energy consumers in an integrated system are provided. Certain subject matter presented herein relates to automatically scheduling jobs and their sub-tasks to maximize profit by comparing power source configurations and determining the best job schedule for the power source configurations. This system broadly involves two sub-problems: determining the best power source configuration and determining the best job schedule for the given power source configuration.

Management of power sources and jobs in an integrated power system

Described herein are methods, systems, apparatuses and products for phase determination in an electricity grid. An aspect provides for determining phase for at least one electric grid device via receiving power consumption measurements derived from electricity grid devices connected in the electricity grid, comparing, over a series of time intervals, a total power consumed; and determining a phase for at least one electricity grid device.
