Abstract: A system and method for compiling search results is presented herein. A method can include gathering user data from one or more users; filtering the user data using an incremental update algorithm to create filtered user data; aggregating the filtered user data to create aggregated filtered user behavior data; and facilitating a presentation of the aggregated filtered user behavior data, wherein: the incremental update algorithm can comprise a filtering function that extracts usage data, a number of time periods in a time window, a date when a formula is calculated, an incremental time period, and an incremental update function. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A system and method for compiling search results is presented herein. A method can include gathering user behavior data, filtering the user behavior data, performing update calculations on the filtered user behavior data, using a decaying function to aggregate the filtered user behavior data; and facilitating the presentation of aggregated user behavior data. The user behavior data can include the user history for a plurality of users at an Internet-accessible site. The site can be an eCommerce site and the user history can include purchase and browsing history that can be used to determine a popularity of items sold by the eCommerce site. Facilitating the presentation can include displaying products in order of popularity. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A system and method for adaptive determination of computing resources is presented. Sometimes, computing jobs are to be allocated among a set of computers. Historical information regarding input data size and output data size is retrieved. Capacity information about each machine is retrieved. A weighted function is used to calculate a desired allocation of computing resources based on historical input data size and output data size. Computing resources are allocated based on the calculated allocation. The computing job can be performed on the allocated computing resources. Other embodiments also are disclosed.
