Abstract: At least one read operation of at least one object of an object graph is initiated. For each corresponding read operation, a reference count of the root object is incremented (with the reference count 1 for the root object initially reflecting a single anchor pointer pointing to the root object). Subsequently, one or more of the objects are changed. Incompatible changes result in the root object, at least one changed object, and any intervening objects within the hierarchy of objects being cloned. The anchor pointer is then linked to the cloned root object. The root object is later dropped when the reference count for the root object is zero. In addition, the object graph is traversed starting at the root object and ending at the at least one changed object removing any edges for such objects. Each object having a reference count of zero is then dropped.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to view caching techniques that cache for a limited time, some of the (intermediate) results of a previous query execution, in order to avoid expensive re-computation of query results. Particular embodiments may utilize a cache manager to determine whether information relevant to a subsequent user request can be satisfied by an existing cache instance or view, or whether creation of an additional cache instance is appropriate. At design time, cache defining columns of a view are defined, with user input parameters automatically being cache defining. Cache instances are created for each tuple of literals for the cache defining columns, and for each explicit or implicit group by clause. Certain embodiments may feature enhanced reuse between cache instances, in order to limit memory footprint. Over time a cache instances may be evicted from memory based upon implementation of a policy such as a Least Recently Used (LRU) strategy.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems and methods for context aware annotations are described herein. A user request is received to visualize a dataset according to a user selected visualization type. A visualization of the dataset is created according to the user selected visualization type and the created visualization is displayed on the computer screen. The context information of each region of the displayed visualization is compared with the context information stored in annotations stored in the memory. Based on the comparison, a determination is made whether the context information stored in any of the annotations matches with the context information of any of the regions. The annotation is displayed on the region of the visualization, which has the same context information. In one embodiment, a list of annotations is displayed to the user. The information related to a selected annotation from the list of annotations is displayed to the user.

Abstract: To provision computer resources on a computing network, for instance a cloud network, an associated resource request parameter of a received resource request is determined. A system attribute is calculated based upon the resource request parameter. Based upon the calculated system attribute, a computing resources repository is queried to retrieve a computing resource. Upon querying, a persisted computing resource with a sufficient capacity to execute a client system process is retrieved. If the computing resources repository does not include a persisted computing resource, an expandable computing resource is retrieved. If the computing resources repository does not include an expandable computing resource, a new computing resource is rendered to execute the client system process. The retrieved computing resource is assigned to the received resource request, and the assigned computing resource is provisioned to execute the client system process.
