  • Patent number: 11934349
    Abstract: One example method includes refreshing secondary or repurposed copies. A copy data management system issues a single request that allows multiple secondary copies to be refreshed using an API server. The server allows a storage controller to read data from a single source and then write the data read from the source to multiple targets simultaneously, thereby refreshing multiple copies in parallel.

  • Patent number: 11928130
    Abstract: Various embodiments for a data management system for managing inferences are described herein. An embodiment operates by detecting a signal to perform a replication task. Parameters corresponding to the replication task are identified. The replication task is configured to at least partially replicate a source data table from a source repository to a target data table in a target repository, based on the parameters. It is determined that a columnar structure of a first column of the source data table including data to be replicated matches a columnar structure of a second column of the target data table where the data is to be replicated to. The replication task is executed responsive to the determination of the matching structures, the replication task including performing one or more arithmetic operations on the data.

  • Patent number: 11921748
    Abstract: An automated method and apparatus are provided for comparing a source database and a target database that are intended to be kept in synchronization with each other. An application processes database changes that are posted to the source database and replicated to the target database. The source database and the target database are made up of blocks of data. Blocks of data from the source database having database changes are collected. These blocks of data are replicated to the target database. Blocks of data from the target database that correspond to the blocks of data from the source database having database changes are read. Representations of the blocks of data from the source database having database changes are compared to representations of blocks of data from the target database that correspond to the blocks of data from the source database having database changes.

  • Patent number: 11921708
    Abstract: The subject technology receives, at a first execution node, a first transaction, the first transaction to be executed on linearizable storage. The subject technology determines whether the first execution node corresponds to a rank indicating a leader worker. The subject technology, in response to the first execution node corresponding to the rank indicating the leader worker, performs, by the first execution node, an initialization process for executing the first transaction. The subject technology broadcasts a first read timestamp associated with the first transaction to a set of execution nodes, the set of execution nodes being different than the first execution node. The subject technology executes, by the first execution node, at least a first operation from the first transaction.

  • Patent number: 11921734
    Abstract: A system includes several edge computing devices. Each edge computing device includes a a sensor, a memory, a central processing unit (CPU), and a digital communication interface, for communication across a network. Each edge computing device has a respective interpreting software function, arranged to execute on the CPU and to interpret computer code, received via the digital communication interface and stored in the memory, according to a query language having a predetermined syntax. The syntax defines queries the results of which are streams of data. A first software function poses a first query to a second edge computing device. A second software function generates and communicates, in response thereto, a second stream of data. The first software function preprocesses the second stream so that it adheres to a predefined global data ontology, and performs a first calculation using the second stream.

  • Patent number: 11914549
    Abstract: A cloud-native global file system used to provide primary file storage for enterprise data is augmented to provide “direct-to-cloud” (D2C) migration of an initial data set. In addition to providing a filer, the service provider configures a direct-to-cloud migration tool, typically as a downloadable virtual machine (VM), that is executed in association with the hardware of the enterprise filesystem whose data set is being migrated. The migration tool reads the existing filesystem, transforms the data into a format consistent with that done by a filer, and pushes the result (a single version) directly to an object store in the cloud. In a first pass (run), typically a large bulk of the data is moved and, depending on how the migration tool is configured, one or more additional passes may then be carried out. When migration is complete (or substantially complete), the filer then is activated to complete the migration (if need be) and take over the go-forward operations.

  • Patent number: 11914663
    Abstract: Technologies related to generating diverse electronic summary documents for a webpage are described herein. A sequence of tokens is extracted from the webpage, and the sequence of tokens is provided to several computer-implemented models. The computer-implemented models output respective sets of candidate assets based upon the sequence of tokens, where the candidate assets are potentially included in an electronic summary document for the webpage. Subsequently, a user query is received, and at least one candidate asset from the candidate assets are selected for inclusion in the electronic summary document based upon the query. Thus, different electronic summary documents can be generated for the webpage when different queries are received.

  • Patent number: 11914645
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for generating content based on matching mappings by implementing deconstruction and reconstruction techniques. The system may retrieve a first content structure that includes a first object with a first mapping that includes a first list of attribute values. The system may then search content structures for a matching content structure having a second object with a second list of attributes and a second mapping including second attribute values corresponding to the second list of attributes. Upon finding a match, the system may generate a new content structure having the first object from the first content structure with the second mapping from the matching content structure. The system may then generate for output a new content segment based on the newly generated content structure.

  • Patent number: 11914665
    Abstract: Multi-modal machine-learning model training techniques for search are described that overcome conventional challenges and inefficiencies to support real time output, which is not possible in conventional training techniques. In one example, a search system is configured to support multi-modal machine-learning model training. This includes use of a preview mode and an expanded mode. In the preview mode, a preview segment is generated as part of real time training of a machine learning model. In the expanded mode, the preview segment is persisted as an expanded segment that is used to train and utilize an expanded machine-learning model as part of search.

  • Patent number: 11907776
    Abstract: An integrated asynchronous interface for data retrieval from across a plurality of data sources is described. An interface may include a plurality of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) as well as a database for constructing responsive data. A search request may be decomposed at the interface to sub-search requests to be distributed to multiple data sources via a search request API. Data responsive to the sub-search requests may be aggregated at an interface database. A status API may maintain a status of the search request, and can update a tenant regarding the status of the tenant's search request. A response API may be used to provide reconstructed data responsive to the search request from the interface database to the tenant.
