  • Integrating and extracting topics from content of heterogeneous sources
    Patent number: 9176969
    Abstract: Examples relate to integrating and extracting topics from content of heterogeneous sources. Observed words are identified in documents, which are received from the heterogeneous sources. Next, document metadata and source metadata are obtained from the heterogeneous sources. The document metadata is used to calculate word topic probabilities for the observed words, and the source metadata is used to calculate source topic probabilities for the observed words. A latent topic is then determined for one of the documents based on the observed words, the word topic probabilities, and the source topic probabilities.

    Patent number: 9176886
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to the filling of cache memory for cache memory initialization. In one embodiment, cache architecture dependent data is loaded into cacheable memory. The flow of initialization execution is transferred to the cache architecture dependent data in response to a trigger that indicates that an initialization of cache memory has been initiated. Each line contained in cache memory is filled using the cache architecture dependent data. The flow of initialization execution is returned back to the place in the initialization process from which it was transferred when the filling of cache memory is completed.
