  • Patent number: 11947817
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for memory mapping to enhance data cube performance. In some implementations, a system accesses a data set that includes data to be processed into a data cube. The system generates a memory-mapped data cube that includes a plurality of files including different segments of the data cube. Generating the memory-mapped data cube includes allocating memory-mapped buffers in non-volatile data storage and responding to subsequent memory allocation requests with addresses for the buffers such that components of the data cube are accumulated in the buffers. The memory-mapped data cube is loaded by storing the files of the data cube in disk-based storage, mapping the stored files of the data cube to virtual memory addresses, and caching portions of the data cube in random-access memory.

  • Patent number: 11829742
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for container-based server environments. In some implementations, a server environment is provided using a plurality of containers that provide instances of different software modules. The plurality of containers includes a first container running a first software image of a particular software module. Various operations can be performed in response to determining that an updated software image is available for the particular software module. For example, execution is started for a second container that provides an instance of the updated software image. Incoming requests are to the second container while continuing to process, using the first container, one or more requests that were received before starting execution of the second container. In response to determining that a level of activity of the first container is below a threshold, the execution of the first container is stopped.

  • Patent number: 11815936
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs stored on computer-readable media, for providing contextually-relevant database content. Techniques are described for monitoring conditions of a computing device and detecting when database content is relevant to a current context of the computing device. In some implementations, a first computing device is monitored to detect actions of the first computing device that involve calendar data for a user. In response, a determination that text corresponding to the calendar appointment includes a term associated with a particular entity is made. Data for a user information card including information related to the particular entity is obtained. The first computing device is then caused to display the user information card or an interactive control configured to initiate display of the user information card.

  • Patent number: 11756245
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable storage media, for machine learning to generate and evaluate visualizations. In some implementations, a system determines properties of a dataset. The system generates visualization specifications that each define a different visualization for the dataset, wherein the visualization specifications specify different subsets of the dataset being illustrated with different visualization formats. The system evaluates the visualization specifications using a machine learning model trained based on user feedback for visualizations for multiple datasets. The system selects a subset of the visualization specifications based on output of the machine learning model. The system provides, for display, visualization data for the subset of visualization specifications that were selected based on the output of the machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 11743723
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer-readable media, for predictively providing access to resources. In some implementations, a method includes receiving movement data indicating movement of a mobile device associated with a user while the mobile device approaches a resource is received. A credential of the user authorizes access to the resource. Based on the movement data, the movement of the mobile device is classified as corresponding to an attempt to access the resource. The mobile device is determined to be in proximity to the resource. Before the user interacts with the resource, the resource is caused to be unlocked or opened in response to determining that the credential of the user authorizes access to the resource, classifying the movement of the mobile device as corresponding to an attempt to access the resource, and determining that the mobile device is in proximity to the resource.

  • Patent number: 11714658
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer-readable media, for automated idle environment shutdown. In some implementations, activity of a server environment is monitored over a period of time. A measure of user-initiated activity of the server environment is determined based on the monitored activity of the server environment over the period of time. The level of user-initiated activity over the period of time is determined to be less than a threshold level. In response to determining that the level of user-initiated activity over the period of time is less than the threshold level, shut down of the server environment is initiated.
