  • Low latency request dispatcher
    Patent number: 8131950
    Abstract: A first-in-first-out (FIFO) queue optimized to reduce latency in dequeuing data items from the FIFO. In one implementation, a FIFO queue additionally includes buffers connected to the output of the FIFO queue and bypass logic. The buffers act as the final stages of the FIFO queue. The bypass logic causes input data items to bypass the FIFO and to go straight to the buffers when the buffers are able to receive data items and the FIFO queue is empty. In a second implementation, arbitration logic is coupled to the queue. The arbitration logic controls a multiplexer to output a predetermined number of data items from a number of final stages of the queue. In this second implementation, the arbitration logic gives higher priority to data items in later stages of the queue.

  • Scoring documents in a linked database
    Patent number: 8126884
    Abstract: A method assigns importance ranks to nodes in a linked database, such as any database of documents containing citations, the world wide web or any other hypermedia database. The rank assigned to a document is calculated from the ranks of documents citing it. In addition, the rank of a document is calculated from a constant representing the probability that a browser through the database will randomly jump to the document. The method is particularly useful in enhancing the performance of search engine results for hypermedia databases, such as the world wide web, whose documents have a large variation in quality.

  • Identification of possible scumware sites by a search engine
    Patent number: 8126866
    Abstract: Users may be protected from scumware included on or associated with web sites indexed by a search engine. The search engine may, for instance take the presence of scumware into account when ranking or determining whether a document matches a search query or provide information with search results that indicates that a particular search result link may be associated with scumware. In one implementation, a search engine generates search results for a search query to obtain documents that are relevant to the search query. The search engine may then format the search results as a web page that includes visual indicators associated with those of the relevant documents that have been determined to be associated with scumware.

  • Systems and methods for processing any-to-any transmissions
    Patent number: 8125997
    Abstract: A data processing system performs any-to-any transmission of data blocks. The system receives the data blocks on incoming data streams, and load balances the data blocks across a number of processing paths. The processing paths process the data blocks causing one or more of the data blocks to become out of order relative to an order in which the data blocks were received. The system hashes the data blocks to determine a manner in which to transmit the data blocks, reorders the data blocks to restore the order in which the data blocks were received, and transmits the reordered data blocks on outgoing data streams.
