Abstract: Systems and method for a task scheduler with dynamic adjustment of concurrency levels and task granularity are disclosed for improved execution of highly concurrent analytical and transactional systems. The task scheduler can avoid both over commitment and underutilization of computing resources by monitoring and controlling the number of active worker threads. The number of active worker threads can be adapted to avoid underutilization of computing resources by giving the OS control of additional worker threads processing blocked application tasks. The task scheduler can dynamically determine a number of parallel operations for a particular task based on the number of available threads. The number of available worker threads can be determined based on the average availability of worker threads in the recent history of the application. Based on the number of available worker threads, the partitionable operation can be partitioned into a number of sub operations and executed in parallel.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods providing a flip-though format for viewing notification of messages and related items on devices, for example personal mobile devices such as smart phones. According to an embodiment, an unread item most recently received is shown in full screen on the mobile device. While the user is viewing this item, the device will automatically retrieve and load into a cache memory, the next most recently received item. When the user is done viewing the item most recently received, the user can swipe a finger across the touch screen to trigger a page flipping animation and display of the next most recently received item. Embodiments avoid the user having to click back and forth between a list of notifications/links and corresponding notification items.

Abstract: A protocol controller may execute a spoofing protection protocol for verifying a message received over a network from a network-connected thing, in the presence of a spoofed message transmitted from a spoofed thing illicitly representing the network-connected thing. The protocol controller may include a message handler configured to implement the spoofing protection protocol, including receiving a message identified as originating from the network-connected thing, executing a verification of a transmission characteristic of the message against an expected transmission characteristic previously stored with respect to the network-connected thing within a transmission characteristic repository, and determining whether the message originated from the network-connected thing, based on the verification.

The at least one slave node receives a preliminary slave log backup position. The at least one slave node replays at least a portion of one or more log backups until the preliminary log backup position is reached. The at least one slave node receives a final slave log backup position. The slave node replays at least a portion of one or more log backups until the final slave log backup position is reached.

Abstract: Techniques for handling large string values in a string dictionary within an in-memory database system are presented. The string dictionary can be a paged-column main dictionary. For example, a value block of a dictionary may be loaded into memory, where the dictionary stores values for dictionary compression. The value block may include a first portion of a large string value and one or more logical pointers to one or more large string pages containing a remainder of the large string value. The large string value may be materialized into a contiguous location in memory, and a pointer to the materialized large string value may be created.

Abstract: A table creation request pertaining to a table in a database maintained on a multi-node data partitioning landscape that comprises a plurality of processing nodes can specify a number of partitions to be generated. At run time, a currently available number of processing nodes in the multi-node data partitioning landscape can be queried, and this currently available number of processing nodes can be compared with the specified number of partitions to be generated for the created table. The table can be generated with the specified number of partitions such that the generated partitions are located across the plurality of partitions according to a load balancing approach if the number of processing nodes equals the number of partitions to be generated or according to other information in the table request if the number of processing nodes does not equal the specified number of partitions.

Abstract: A request for an entry of a dictionary having multiple dictionary blocks may be received, where the dictionary stores string values associated with corresponding value identifiers (IDs) for dictionary compression. One of the dictionary blocks may be selectively loaded into memory, and the dictionary block that has been loaded into memory may be searched. A value ID directory may be constructed in memory, where the value ID directory includes last value IDs for the dictionary blocks, and each of the last value IDs is mapped to an index of one of the dictionary blocks that includes a string value for that last value ID. A separator directory may also be constructed in memory, where the separator directory includes separators for the dictionary blocks, and each of the separators is mapped to an index of one of the dictionary blocks that includes a string value for that separator.

In the optimization, an objective function is defined for maximizing production while minimizing relative maintenance cost.

Abstract: The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for self-learning localization services. A computer-implemented method includes: identifying, at a location remote from a first application, a request for localization of a string value associated with the first application from a source language to a target language, sending the string value to a translation request buffer in response to a determination that the localization of the string value in the target language is unavailable, and triggering, in response to satisfaction of at least one heuristic analysis, a translation process of the string value from the source language into the target language where the string value is retrieved from the translation request buffer. In some instances, the location remove from the first application is a centralized localization service accessible by remote requests from a plurality of applications.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to converting data object(s) from a multi-source database environment into a single-source database environment. Such a conversion may be desirable to increase performance and/or reduce consumption of processing resources. An engine is configured to receive a multi-source database universe from a repository. The engine analyzes that universe to identify details thereof for conversion, e.g., connections, tables, views, alias tables, etc. A new single-source connection is registered, and then the single-source universe is re-generated through a universe conversion algorithm, an automatic function mapping algorithm, and a query generation algorithm. Embodiments avoid labor intensive manual re-creation of the universe, and may be implemented as an automatic conversion wizard also updating dependent report queries per new single-source query patterns.
