Patent number: 11741022Abstract: Many computer applications comprise multiple threads of executions. Some client application requests are fulfilled by multiple cooperating processes. Techniques are disclosed for creating and managing memory namespaces that may be shared among a group of cooperating processes in which the memory namespaces are not accessible to processes outside of the group. The processes sharing the memory each have a handle that references the namespace. A process having the handle may invite another process to share the memory by providing the handle. A process sharing the private memory may change the private memory or the processes sharing the private memory according to a set of access rights assigned to the process. The private shared memory may be further protected from non-sharing processes by tagging memory segments allocated to the shared memory with protection key and/or an encryption key used to encrypt/decrypt data stored in the memory segments.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2021Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Nagarajan Muthukrishnan, Ravi Shankar Thammaiah

Patent number: 11726987Abstract: A technique involves normalizing identification of users (e.g., different customer organizations) across disparate local systems (e.g., different electronic platforms that provide different products and/or services). Such normalization of user identification enables a provider to accurately ascertain a particular user of multiple disparate local systems even when the multiple disparate local systems identify that user using different identification schemes. Accordingly, the provider is able to offer enhanced support to that user across the multiple disparate local systems. For example, with such normalization of user identification, the provider may employ a single authentication system across the various local systems thus enabling the user to authenticate via the same authentication process regardless of which local system the user attempts to access.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Citrix Systems, Inc.Inventor: Ricardo Fernando Feijoo

Patent number: 11704321Abstract: The present disclosure related to techniques for analyzing data from multiple different data sources to determine a relationship between the data (also referred to herein a “data relationship discovery”). The relationships between any two compared datasets may be used to determine one or more recommendations for merging (e.g., joining), or “blending,” the data sets together. Relationship discovery may include determining a relationship between a subset of data, such as a relationship between a pair of columns, or column pair, each column in a different dataset of the datasets that are compared. Given two datasets to process for relationship discovery, relationship discovery may identify and recommends a ranked subset of column pairs between two compared datasets. The ranked column pairs identified as a relationship may be useful for blending the datasets with respect to those column pairs.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2020Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Robert James Oberbreckling, Luis E.

Patent number: 11636152Abstract: A computer comprising one or more processors and memory may implement multiple threads performing mutually exclusive lock acquisition operations on disjoint ranges of a shared resource each using atomic compare and swap (CAS) operations. A linked list of currently locked ranges is maintained and, upon entry to a lock acquisition operation, a thread waits for all locked ranges overlapping the desired range to be released then inserts a descriptor for the desired range into the linked list using a single CAS operation. To release a locked range, a thread executes a single fetch and add (FAA) operation. The operation may be extended to support simultaneous exclusive and non-exclusive access by allowing overlapping ranges to be locked for non-exclusive access and by performing an additional validation after locking to provide conflict resolution should a conflict be detected.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2019Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Alex Kogan, David Dice, Shady Alaaeldin Mohamed Abdelkader Rabie Issa
