  • Patent number: 11936739
    Abstract: Techniques are described to perform an automatic reset of a database session to generate an environment that resembles a brand new session without the computational cost of creating a brand new session. In an embodiment, a DBMS receives a request from a client application to execute commands within a session. The DBMS identifies that the end request boundary, the end of the logical work unit for the client application, is reached within the session. The DBMS verifies that the end request boundary is at a resettable point of a session state of the session for the session to be safely reset. If the verification is successful, the DBMS performs a reset of the session to prevent any leakage of application-related session state to the next request.

  • Patent number: 11935570
    Abstract: Techniques for determining a data tape read quality value are disclosed. A data tape system generates a value representing a quality of a data tape based on attributes of the data tape. The system calculates the data quality value using an algorithm based on: (a) a particular data tape error correction value, (b) data tape length value representing a length of data tape traversed during data-processing operations, and (c) a scaling factor. The scaling factor is based on a relationship between the particular data tape error correction value and a rate of degradation of the data tape. The scaling factor may be generated by applying a trained machine learning model to attributes of a data tape. The model generates a scaling factor for a particular data tape based on the attributes of the particular data tape.

  • Patent number: 11935521
    Abstract: Techniques are described for improving the efficiency of dialog processing by prompting and processing user feedback substantially in real time. A dialog system receives speech input from a user and processes a first portion of the speech input to determine an initial discerned intent. The dialog system causes display of a visual indication of the initial discerned intent. The visual indication of the discerned intent is used to guide the dialog so that the user can correct or confirm the initial discerned intent in a natural fashion. If the initial discerned intent is inaccurate, the user can provide feedback correcting the dialog system, and the dialog system processes a second portion of the speech input to determine a modified discerned intent. Thus, the dialog system can use the feedback to correct misunderstandings on the fly.

  • Patent number: 11928097
    Abstract: Efficiently implemented herein is a deterministic semantic for property updates by graph queries. Mechanisms of determinism herein ensure data consistency for graph mutation. These mechanisms facilitate optimistic execution of graph access despite a potential data access conflict. This approach may include various combinations of special activities such as detecting potential conflicts during query compile time, applying query transformations to eliminate those conflicts during code generation where possible, and executing updates in an optimistic way that safely fails if determinism cannot be guaranteed. In an embodiment, a computer receives a request to modify a graph. The request to modify the graph is optimistically executed after preparation and according to safety precautions as presented herein. Based on optimistically executing the request, a data access conflict actually occurs and is automatically detected.

  • Patent number: 11922238
    Abstract: A parametric constant resolves to different values in different contexts, but a single value within a particular context. An anchor constant is a parametric constant that allows for a degree of parametricity for an API point. The context for the anchor constant is provided by a caller to the API point. The anchor constant resolves to an anchor value that records specialization decisions for the API point within the provided context. Specialization decisions may include type restrictions, memory layout, and/or memory size. The anchor value together with an unspecialized type of the API point result in a specialized type of the API point. A class object representing the specialized type is created. The class object may be accessible to the caller, but the full value of the anchor value is not accessible to the caller. The API point is executed based on the specialization decisions embodied in the anchor value.

    Abstract: The disclosed systems, methods and computer readable media relate to managing Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) (NVMeOTCP) connections between a smart network interface card (smartNIC) and a block storage data plane (BSDP) of a cloud computing environment. A software agent (“agent”) executing at the smartNIC may manage a number of network paths (active and, in some cases, passive network paths). The agent may monitor the network traffic (e.g., input/output operations (IOPS)) through the paths (e.g., using established NVMeOTCP connections corresponding to the paths). If a condition is met relating to a performance threshold associated with the monitored paths, the agent may increase or decrease the number established NVMeOTCP connections to match real time network conditions.

  • Patent number: 11921848
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that characterizes susceptibility of an inferential model to follow signal degradation. During operation, the system receives a set of time-series signals associated with sensors in a monitored system during normal fault-free operation. Next, the system trains the inferential model using the set of time-series signals. The system then characterizes susceptibility of the inferential model to follow signal degradation. During this process, the system adds degradation to a signal in the set of time-series signals to produce a degraded signal. Next, the system uses the inferential model to perform prognostic-surveillance operations on the set of time-series signals with the degraded signal. Finally, the system characterizes susceptibility of the inferential model to follow degradation in the signal based on results of the prognostic-surveillance operations.

  • Patent number: 11914996
    Abstract: A computer comprising one or more processors and memory may implement multiple threads that perform a lock operation using a data structure comprising an allocation field and a grant field. Upon entry to a lock operation, a thread allocates a ticket by atomically copying a ticket value contained in the allocation field and incrementing the allocation field. The thread compares the allocated ticket to the grant field. If they are unequal, the thread determines a number of waiting threads. If the number is above the threshold, the thread enters a long term wait operation comprising determining a location for long term wait value and waiting on changes to that value. If the number is below the threshold or the long term wait operation is complete, the thread waits for the grant value to equal the ticket to indicate that the lock is allocated.

  • Patent number: 11914563
    Abstract: New data structures for analyzing a log are generated. A hierarchical data structure includes a plurality of hierarchical nodes. Each node is associated with data and metadata. Each node may also be associated with analysis data. Information (data, metadata, and/or analysis data) of an ancestor node is imputed to a descendant node; a descendant node inherits the information of an ancestor node. When determining analysis data for a particular hierarchical node, information from any ancestor node to the particular hierarchical node may be used; however, information from non-ancestor nodes is not necessarily used. A timeline data structure includes a reference to a hierarchical node within a hierarchical data structure and a reference to an event type. The timeline data structure is thereby associated with the information of the referenced hierarchical node and information of any ancestor nodes to the referenced hierarchical node.
