A system and method for providing attestation and/or integrity of a server execution environment are described. One or more parts of a server environment are selected for measurement. The one or more parts in a server execution environment are measured, and the measurements result in a unique fingerprint for each respective selected part. The unique fingerprints are aggregated by an aggregation function to create an aggregated value, which is determinative of running programs in the server environment. A measurement parameter may include the unique fingerprints, the aggregated value or a base system value and may be sent over a network interface to indicate the server environment status or state.

Techniques for composing an application resource model in a data stream processing system are disclosed. The application resource model may be used to understand what resources will be consumed by an application when executed by the data stream processing system. For example, a method for composing an application resource model for a data stream processing system comprises the following steps. One or more operator-level metrics are obtained from an execution of a data stream processing application in accordance with a first configuration. The application is executed by one or more nodes of the data stream processing system, and the application is comprised of one or more processing elements that are comprised of one or more operators. One or more operator-level resource functions are generated based on the obtained one or more operator-level metrics. A processing element-level resource function is generated based on the one or more generated operator-level resource functions.

The present invention provides a system and method for optimizing routes that include multiple stops. This is accomplished by allowing users to identify a starting point, a destination, and types of businesses or other locations to be visited along the way. A route processor then provides users with a list of stores or other requested detour choices yielding a trip of optimal itinerary. The detour choices may be either an ordered sequence or an unordered set of points to be visited and may include constraints that make it possible to optimize utility functions according to user preferences.

A method of hypervisor based power management, includes: allocating resources to a plurality of partitions defined within a virtual machine environment; monitoring performance of the plurality of partitions with respect to a service level agreement (SLA); tracking power consumption in the plurality of partitions; scaling power consumption rates of the plurality of partitions based on the allocated resources, wherein the power consumption rate of physical resources is scaled by adjusting resource allocations to each partition; identifying partitions that are sources of excessive power consumption based on the SLA; and adjusting the allocation of resources based on the power consumption of the plurality of partitions, the performance of the plurality of partitions, and the SLA.

A method for managing a virtual machine image includes receiving a request to change a package configuration of a machine, processing an image action received in the request, wherein the processing the image action received includes, opening the image action with associated action inputs, comparing the opened image action inputs with inputs associated with action instances in a database, determining whether the compared opened image action inputs match the inputs associated with action instances, retrieving from the database, image difference data associated with the image action responsive to determining that the compared opened image action inputs match the inputs associated with action instances in the database, and applying the image difference data to an image to transform the image, determining whether each image action in the request has been processed and processing a second image action responsive to determining that each image action has not been processed.
