Abstract: A method for facilitating access to a large data store is disclosed. The method includes reading the large data store, allocating a heap of at least 100 megabytes in a first memory, and storing the data store in the heap, wherein a memory address is associated with each memory element in the heap, and wherein each memory address comprises a base address unique to the first memory and an offset value from the base address. A second server allocates space in a second memory and stores a particular group of memory elements from the first memory in the second memory. Next, a graphics processing unit calculates new memory addresses for each of the memory elements in the particular group by adding a new base address, unique to the second memory, to the offset value of each memory address, and transmits the new memory addresses to the second memory.

Abstract: A system and method are provided to process a traveler's profile, itinerary, airfare ticket data, and baggage details to determine baggage allowance and calculate applicable baggage fees based on the rules provided by one or more airline. The system automatically determines how to best associate each bag to an individual traveler so that a party of multiple travelers pays the lowest possible baggage fees.
