Abstract: In some embodiments, there is provided a system which allows data to be received into a placement intelligence. After the data is analyzed, the data is written to a persistent storage device. Subsequently, the data may be written. Periodically, self-optimization may occur to improve read speeds or other metrics.

Abstract: A system, comprising: a plurality of clusters, each cluster comprising two or more nodes and data storage; data storage comprising two or more storage arrays; each storage array comprising two or more storage devices; each storage device being configured to store data; each node being configured to receive requests to interact with data stored on a storage device; wherein the system is configured to provide at least two communication paths between any pair of components, the components comprising the nodes, storage arrays, and the storage devices.

Abstract: In some embodiments, systems, methods, and devices disclosed herein are directed to implementing in-memory computer systems that offer improved performance over conventional computer systems. In some embodiments, the implementations of in-memory computer systems, devices, and methods described herein can function without reliance on conventional storage devices and thus are not subject to the bottleneck in processing speed associated with conventional storage devices. Rather, in some embodiments, the implementations of in-memory computer systems described herein include and/or utilize a processor and memory, wherein the memory is used for mass data storage, without reliance on a conventional hard drive, solid state drive, or any other peripheral storage device. Some embodiments herein relate to non-uniform real-time memory access (NURA) computing, for example on an in-memory computing system.

Abstract: A method includes accessing a cache including a first cache block and setting the first cache block to a passive sub-state, where the first cache block in the passive sub-state is configured to be accessed or modified. The method also includes receiving at least one access or modification request of the first cache block and transitioning the first cache block from the passive sub-state to an active sub-state. The method also includes incrementing an ordinal cache activation count at an active cache counter in response to the transitioning, where the active cache counter is configured to track the activation counts such that oldest cache use counts are designated to be overwritten in the cache in an oldest-first fashion.

Abstract: According to the principles of the invention, there is provided a system, apparatus, and method for automated call launching in a call conferencing network. The system includes computer executable code for sharing information among a plurality of multipoint conference units, so that a remote user may, from a web site for example, initiate a conference call from one of the multipoint conference units. Using distributed code, a user's call request initiates a search of the network for a multipoint conference unit with adequate capacity and suitable capabilities for a requested call. Once a multipoint conference unit is selected, the multipoint conference unit calls out to selected participants who may accept or decline the call. This call setup is transparent to the user, who receives an acknowledgment once the conference call has been initiated.
