Abstract: Systems and methods for non-disruptive cache startup, shutdown, data partition movement, and node rebalancing for a data fabric within a data grid in a database environment. The data grid is a clustered in-memory database (IMDB) cache comprising one or more data fabrics including multiple IMDB cache nodes. The method takes a time tag and moves data from source to destination nodes while allowing updates to data on the source nodes. The method propagates updates occurring after the time tag to destination nodes from source nodes and switches applications and ownership to the destination nodes. Another method slices data for a partitioned fabric and stores slices on nodes. Another method starts a data fabric by moving data from a grid backend to the nodes. In an embodiment, another method rebalances nodes in a non-disruptive manner. When a fabric is shutdown, the method saves data from the nodes to the grid backend.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for organizing a visual representation of data into a structured data format are presented. Steps for identifying cell data structures from raw data and creating a structured data format are disclosed.

Abstract: As mobile subscribers increasingly employ their wireless devices to perform an ever expanding range of activities, it has become more and more important for all of the different entities in a wireless ecosystem (e.g., wireless carriers, intermediaries, service providers, etc.) to complete their processing activities in the most efficient, expeditious, flexible, etc. manner possible. An intelligent caching mechanism, through which for example various of the results of a preparatory step may be preserved for subsequent reuse, can inter alia incrementally reduce processing time, reduce system and network resource consumption, save money, etc.

Abstract: Freeing memory safely with low performance overhead in a concurrent environment is described. An example method includes creating a reference count for each sub block in a global memory block, and each global memory block includes a plurality of sub blocks aged based on respective allocation time. A reference count for a first sub block is incremented when a thread operates a collection of data items and accesses the first sub block for a first time. Reference counts for the first sub block and a second sub block are lazily updated. Subsequently, the sub blocks are scanned through in the order of their age until a sub block with a non-zero reference count is encountered. Accordingly, one or more sub blocks whose corresponding reference counts are equal to zero are freed safely and with low performance overhead.

Abstract: For the purpose of mapping an inbound Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transaction to one or more outputs there are operations comprising receiving an inbound EDI transaction, and translating the inbound EDI transaction to any combination of EDI outbound transactions and non-EDI outbound transactions. Such translation is performed according to a map file, which is generated as follows. The inbound and any outbound EDI transactions are defined, and templates of the inbound and outbound EDI transactions are also defined. Then, mappings between the template of the inbound EDI transaction and the templates of the outbound EDI transactions are defined. A mapping between the inbound EDI transaction and application data may also be defined, where the application data may include a text file, a XML file, and/or a table of a database. Rules relating to or governing the mapping of the inbound EDI transaction to outputs may also be created. These definitions, mappings and rules are stored in the map file.
