  • Patent number: 8874722
    Abstract: An interactive tool is disclosed for visualizing performance data in real-time to enable adaptive performance optimization for an application running on a massively parallel computer system. The interactive tool may be used to visualize network congestion (and other) performance counters for an application as it runs on the parallel system in real-time. Further, a developer may use the interactive tool to experiment with various tuning options and optimization approaches on-the-fly.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 28, 2007
    Date of Patent: October 28, 2014

  • Patent number: 6915291
    Abstract: An apparatus, program product and method represent a database query access plan a query execution data structure including a plurality of query node objects arranged into a tree relationship to define a parent node object and at least one child node object, and an attribute data structure that references a plurality of attributes utilized by the query execution data structure. At least one of the parent and child node objects includes an attribute operation data structure configured to manipulate at least a subset of the plurality of attributes in the attribute data structure by accessing the attribute operation data structure. By partitioning the functionality of a query access plan into a collection of node objects and an attribute data structure, and then providing within at least a subset of the node objects attribute operation data structures that manipulate the attribute data structure, the resulting query engine architecture becomes significantly extendible and adaptable.
