Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for communicating with a plurality of remote systems are described herein. A remote data query is sent from a central data requesting system to remote systems. A query result is received asynchronously from at least one of the remote systems. The remote systems may include data pools which are independent of each other. In one embodiment, the remote systems include a responsive remote system and an unresponsive remote system, and the query result is received from the responsive remote system. In one embodiment, a predetermined timeout period is set at the central data requesting system and the query result obtained after the pre-determined timeout period is ignored by the central data requesting system.

Abstract: Techniques are provided through which query associations are made between initial queries and corresponding query modifications to the initial queries previously made. Each query modification is made with respect to a searchable source. Based on these query associations, modified queries are generated on a per-source basis. Query associations may be stored on a per user or per community basis, where a community can include many users. Frequently used query modifications may be stored as templates.

Abstract: A system and method for efficiently removing duplicate data blocks at a fine-granularity from a storage array. A data storage subsystem supports multiple deduplication tables. Table entries in one deduplication table have the highest associated probability of being deduplicated. Table entries may move from one deduplication table to another as the probabilities change. Additionally, a table entry may be evicted from all deduplication tables if a corresponding estimated probability falls below a given threshold. The probabilities are based on attributes associated with a data component and attributes associated with a virtual address corresponding to a received storage access request. A strategy for searches of the multiple deduplication tables may also be determined by the attributes associated with a given storage access request.

The gallery may allow users to build a complete solution by adding the predefined controls from the gallery to the design surface of a solution without opening a code editor, and the code behind the control may be automatically built into the solution. The solution code may also be accessible for later modification by a user in the database program.

Abstract: Tagging of resources in order to associate them is described. In an embodiment it is possible to assign tags to resources or switch between resources with different tags, in the context of current work being undertaken by a user. For example, from a single application window that is currently used, a user is able to switch to other resources by tag in an embodiment. Different embodiments illustrate how tags may have multiple purposes and those purposes may evolve thus enabling associated resources to be exposed in different ways. In some embodiments rich metadata about tag usage and/or the use of resource associated with a tag is stored and used to provide additional functionality. Examples are described in which persistence of resources associated with tags is provided and may involve representation of resources such as by duplication of files or by creating alternative representations of resources.

Abstract: A method for processing blocks of data in a file is provided. The method includes determining a plurality of blocks of data in the file for a compression process used for compressing data in the file. This process is iterated over all the plurality of blocks of data in the file. A block of data is read into memory, and the offset from which it is read is also stored. A strong collision-resistant cryptographic hash representation, such as a strong collision-resistant cryptographic hash, of the block is determined. The cryptographic hash representation (CHR) of the block of data as well as the data itself, is added to a table with the CHR as a unique index. The offset of the block of data in the source file, as well as the CHR for that block are appended to a separate table.

Abstract: A novel and useful system and method of fast history compression in a pipelined architecture with both speculation and low-penalty misprediction recovery. The method of the present invention speculates that a current input byte does not continue an earlier string, but either starts a new string or represents a literal (no match). As previous bytes are checked if they start a string, the method of the present invention detects if speculation for the current byte is correct. If speculation is not correct, then various methods of recovery are employed, depending on the repeating string length.
