The present invention relates to a method, system and computer program product for task failover in an unstable environment, wherein the unstable environment includes a plurality of reclaimable nodes. According to the method, it is monitored if any node of the plurality of reclaimable nodes is to be reclaimed. Whether a task on any node of the plurality of reclaimable nodes is recoverable is determined. Responsive to the task being recoverable, data of the recoverable task is stored. Responsive to a node being reclaimed and the task on the reclaimed node being recoverable, at least one associated task of at least one associated node of the reclaimed node is notified to wait.

Task failover

A block of data intended for a set of receiving computer systems comprising a first system and a second system is divided into a set of equal-size portions. A first portion of the set of portions is transmitted from a first file server storing the block of data to the first system. The first portion is relayed from the first file server to a second file server concurrently with the transmitting. The first portion of the set of portions is transmitted from the second file server to the second system.

Pipelined file server based data transmission

For resource management for a parent child workload, a processor organizes a plurality of processes into a plurality of process groups. Each process group includes a given parent process and all child processes of the given parent process. Each process group has a process level. The processor further calculates a process cost for each process group and assigns a process priority to each process group based on the process cost for the process group. The processor iteratively assigns computing resources to subgroups of a given process group with a highest process priority at a given process level.

Resource management for parent child workload

Methods that can protect sensitive data are provided. One method includes determining, by a processor, whether a user is focusing on an obscured set of sensitive data displayed on a computing device, clarifying the obscurity of a portion of the displayed set of sensitive data in response to determining that the user focusing on the portion of the displayed set of sensitive data, and maintaining the obscurity of one or more other portions of the displayed set of sensitive data in response to determining that the user not focusing on the one or more other portions of the displayed set of sensitive data. Apparatus and computer program products that can include, perform, and/or implement the methods are also provided.

Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for protecting sensitive data

The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for controlling interface display. The method includes: determining whether or not a first interface switching condition is satisfied in a case where a first display interface of an application is being displayed; and switching the first display interface being displayed at present to a second display interface of the application in a case where the first interface switching condition is satisfied, wherein the first display interface is associated with authentic user information, and the second display interface is associated with virtual user information. Examples of the present disclosure enable quick interface switching and thus provide the user with more convenience and improved experience in using the terminal device.
