  • Patent number: 10721336
    Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to generating graph-oriented data structures based on cross-channel multi-user transaction and/or interaction data from one or more data sources, Additional techniques relate to analyzing and processing transactions using the graph-oriented data structures. Transaction data may be received from various data sources, and analyzed to determine subsets of the transaction data relating to interactions between specific pairs of users. Graph-oriented data structures may be generated based on the subsets of transaction data relating to the specific pairs of users, and may be used to analyze and process transaction requests.

  • Publication number: 20190213249
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory wherein the memory comprises instructions which are executed by the processor to cause the processor to be specifically configured to implement a user interface and a cognitive text analysis engine for intelligent copy-and-paste. In response to a user performing a copy-and-paste operation via the user interface to copy a text snippet from a source context and paste the text snippet into a target context, the cognitive text analysis engine analyzes the source context, the text snippet, and the target context to identify key elements. The cognitive text analysis engine identifies elements that are present in the source context and the text snippet but not present in the target context. The user interface highlights the identified elements within text snippet pasted into the target context.

  • Patent number: 9904553
    Abstract: A processor and method are described for scheduling operations for execution within a reservation station. For example, a method in accordance with one embodiment of the invention includes the operations of: classifying a plurality of operations based on the execution ports usable to execute those operations; allocating the plurality of operations into groups within a reservation station based on the classification, wherein each group is serviced by one or more execution ports corresponding to the classification, and wherein two or more entries within a group share a common read port and a common write port; dynamically scheduling two or more operations in a group for concurrent execution based on the ports capable of executing those operations and a relative age of the operations.

  • Publication number: 20170148021
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing secure transaction functionality using a centralized digital gateway configured to process transactions of various types, using different transaction processing entities, within a single processing flow. The digital gateway may implement rules and logic to optimize transaction processing costs. Additionally, transaction authorization, various types of transaction analyses, and transaction processing and dispatch processes may be performed in parallel, as directed by the implemented rules and logic, in order to optimize transaction processing costs and processing speeds. Further, digital gateway may be configured to normalize transaction request data across different transaction types, allowing the transaction request data to be transmitted in a uniform manner to related back-end systems, partner systems, and transaction processors.

  • Publication number: 20170061597
    Abstract: Inspection systems and methods for adjusting/optimizing imaging performances of the inspection systems are disclosed. An inspection system may include an optical component configured to deliver inspection light to a subject and a detector configured to obtain an image of the subject at least partially based on the inspection light delivered to the subject. The inspection system may also include a processor in communication with the optical component and the detector. The processor may be configured to: measure an aberration of the optical component based on the image of the subject obtained by the detector; and adjust the optical component to compensate for a change in the aberration.

  • Publication number: 20140195790
    Abstract: A secondary jump execution unit (JEU) is incorporated in a micro-processor to operate concurrently with a primary JEU, enabling the execution of simultaneous branch operations with possible detection of multiple branch mispredicts. When branch operations are executed on both JEUs in a same instruction cycle, mispredict processing for the secondary JEU is skidded into the primary JEU's dispatch pipeline such that the branch processing for the secondary JEU occurs after processing of the branch for the primary JEU and while the primary JEU is not processing a branch. Moreover, in cases when a nuke command is also received from a reorder buffer of the processor, the branch processing for the secondary JEU is further delayed to accommodate processing of the nuke on the primary JEU. Further embodiments support the promotion of the secondary JEU to have access to the mispredict mechanisms of the primary JEU in certain circumstances.
