  • Patent number: 11693717
    Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for performing alert notification on streaming textual data, streaming textual data is received. A plurality of copies of the streaming textual data is generated, wherein a first copy of the streaming textual data is transmitted to an ingestion service for persistent storage at a data plane and a second copy of the streaming textual data is transmitted to an alert evaluation service for performing alert evaluation on the streaming textual data, such that the ingestion service and the alert evaluation service are performed independently. The streaming textual data is evaluated by the alert evaluation service to detect an alert. Responsive to detecting an alert at the alert evaluation service, a notification of the alert is generated.

  • Patent number: 11656920
    Abstract: A processing unit generates, in the initial setting of all-to-all communication between processes, a unique node-order process number for each process on the basis of hardware information, computes the virtual rank number of each process on the basis of the node-order process number of the process, and stores the computed virtual rank numbers in a storage unit. When performing the al-to-all communication between the processes, the processing unit determines the communication partner process of each process for the current step in the all-to-all communication by performing an exclusive OR operation between the virtual rank number of the process, stored in, the storage unit, and the step number of the current step. Then, the processing unit performs communication from each process to the corresponding communication partner process.

  • Patent number: 11656922
    Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein are directed towards systems, methods, and computer storage media for, among other things, providing personalized notification management. Notifications can be communicated to a user upon receipt or queued for subsequent handling based on a probability that the user will interact with the notification within a threshold elapsed time from presentation, if it is presented. The probability is determined based on a user's past interactions with similar notifications. The interactions of other users with notifications can also be considered to determine the probability. The notifications can be managed by a notification broker.

  • Patent number: 11609803
    Abstract: Event delivery can be managed in a serverless computing environment. For example, an event broker can determine that each event message in a group of event messages from one or more event producers includes a particular key among a set of keys, and can determine a target event consumer that is to receive the group of event messages. Based on each event message in the group of event messages including the particular key, the event broker can add each event message to a dispatching queue in a sequential order in which the plurality of event messages were received. The event broker can then provide the group of event messages in the dispatching queue to the target event consumer in the sequential order in which the group of event messages are in the dispatching queue.

  • Patent number: 11520644
    Abstract: An integrated circuit device has a processor, a software-trace message handling system, a software-trace message sink peripheral, and a hardware interconnect system. The interconnect system is capable of directing software-trace messages from the processor to the software-trace message handling system, and of directing software-trace messages from the processor to the software-trace message sink peripheral. The software-trace message sink peripheral can present an interconnect delay to the processor, when receiving a software-trace message from the processor, that is equal to or substantially equal to an interconnect delay that the software-trace message handling system would have presented to the processor if the software-trace message handling system were to have received the software-trace message.

  • Patent number: 11513873
    Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for providing restock notification, comprising a memory storing instructions and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions. The processor may be configured to receive, from a user interface associated with a user, a first request for a restock notification associated with a product, and modify a database to assign a first status to the product. The processor may further be configured to receive a message indicating that the product is available for purchase, and modify the database to assign a second status to the product. The processor may configure a batch framework to periodically analyze the database to identify product with the second status assigned, and determine a notification schedule for sending the restock notification to the user. The processor may be configured to send the restock notification to the user based on the determined notification schedule.

  • Patent number: 11500701
    Abstract: A global queue service of a provider network allows clients to automatically replicate a queue to another queue of one or more other regions (creating a global queue). A local instance of the service receives a send request from a producer. In response, the local instance stores a message in a local queue and replicates the send request to a remote queue of a remote instance of the global queue service (e.g., at another region). The local instance receives a receive request from a consumer and sends the message to the consumer (without replicating the request to the remote queue). The local instance then receives a delete request from a consumer. In response, the local instance deletes the message from the local queue and replicates the delete request to the remote queue. The local instance also receives replicated requests from the remote instance and in response, applies them locally.
