  • Patent number: 11893019
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing cross-microservice query processing. The system provides an object service framework that supports the use of microservices that may be loosely-coupled but related in some way, for example in that they interoperate together or require access to each other's data in order to process queries. Each microservice can be developed, deployed and evolve independently, and interact with the other microservices through contracts or interfaces that are defined as public APIs and are then exposed via the framework. The object service framework can be used, for example to provide a cross-microservice layer that automatically transforms queries that join objects in different microservices into a single database query that is optimized for use with the database.

  • Patent number: 11895501
    Abstract: A method for automatic key management of network access token public keys for 5GC authorization to mitigate security attacks includes providing, at the NRF, a network access token public key status update notification subscription interface that allows producer NFs to subscribe to receive notifications of updates in status of service access token public keys issued by the NRF. When the NRF determines that an update in status of a service access token public key is required, the NRF updates the status of the public key in its local database and notifies producer NFs that have subscribed to receive the updates. The producer NFs use the public keys to validate service requests from consumer NFs. In one variation, the NRF maintains and updates the status of service access token public keys associated with different service access levels.

  • Patent number: 11895106
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to systems and methods for automatic sign in upon account signup. Particularly, the present embodiments can utilize a federated login approach for automatic sign in upon account signup for a cloud infrastructure. Specifically, the signup and sign in service (also known as SOUP) and an identity provider portal can be configured such that the nodes are aware of each other as Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) partners. After new account registration, the signup service can redirect the user browser to a cloud infrastructure console to start with a federated login flow, where a sign in service can issue a SAML authentication request, and redirects it to signup service. Responsive to validating the browser using a SAML authentication process, the browser can be automatically signed into the new account and allowed access the account relating to the cloud infrastructure service.

  • Patent number: 11874794
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to improving efficiency of data analytics performed on sets of entity data in which different entity properties having very different update frequencies. Time-based analytical queries track the entity states at each moment within a given time window. Analytical queries are executed over a massive number of entity states while using a reasonable memory footprint. The technique partitions the entity properties into partial historical snapshots of data and combines the partial snapshots on demand only as needed to execute analytical queries over business entities. A complete entity state having values for all entity properties is not required to execute most queries. Only partial snapshots including values referenced by the query need to be combined to satisfy the query. Using partial snapshots minimizes data replication, and the snapshots can be efficiently combined into entity states sufficient for query execution.

The frame originally marked by a stack watermark is now marked by the new color watermark. The new color watermark marks a deepest frame on the call stack having the old global state. A color watermark is deleted when the stack watermark meets the color watermark. If the stack watermark is shifted in the call stack to mark the same frame as a color watermark, then the color watermark is deleted. The marked frame is a deepest frame on the call stack having the current global state.

  • Patent number: 11876886
    Abstract: Embodiments determine an eligibility of a request for an operation event from a client using a distributed ledger that comprises a plurality of nodes. Embodiments send the request from the client to a primary node of the distributed ledger, the request comprising a first token. Embodiments validate the node at the primary node with a token provider, broadcast the request to all secondary nodes of the distributed ledger and perform a service by the primary node and the secondary nodes in response to the request. Embodiments send a reply to the client from each of the primary node and the secondary nodes when the service is performed successfully by the respective node, the reply comprising a second token. Embodiments then determine an eligibility of the client for the request based on a count of a number of second tokens received by the client.

  • Patent number: 11876710
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides dynamic routing for data flows to a customer network hosted in the cloud. A plurality of compute instances may share a common virtual IP address. Each of the plurality of compute instances may advertise information to a respective network virtualization device (NVD). The information may include the IP address, cost, and/or active/standby status of the compute instance. The NVD may then provide the information to the control plane of a virtual cloud network (VCN), which may aggregate the information from the plurality of compute instances and generate a forwarding table, which may be sent to the NVDs. These techniques may allow a customer to automatically remove a compute instance whose service host has failed. These techniques may also allow a customer to add compute instances and to route data flows according to an active-standby operation, an equal cost active-active operation, or an unequal cost active-active operation.

  • Patent number: 11868265
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein processing asynchronous power transition events while maintaining a persistent memory state. In some embodiments, a system may proxy asynchronous reset events through system logic, which generates an interrupt to invoke a special persistent flush interrupt handler that performs a persistent cache flush prior to invoking a hardware power transition. Additionally or alternatively, the system may include a hardware backup mechanism to ensure all resets and power-transitions requested in hardware reliably complete within a bounded window of time independent of whether the persistent cache flush handler succeeds.

  • Patent number: 11868628
    Abstract: A hardware-assisted Distributed Memory System may include software configurable shared memory regions in the local memory of each of multiple processor cores. Accesses to these shared memory regions may be made through a network of on-chip atomic transaction engine (ATE) instances, one per core, over a private interconnect matrix that connects them together. For example, each ATE instance may issue Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs), with or without responses, to an ATE instance associated with a remote processor core in order to perform operations that target memory locations controlled by the remote processor core. Each ATE instance may process RPCs (atomically) that are received from other ATE instances or that are generated locally. For some operation types, an ATE instance may execute the operations identified in the RPCs itself using dedicated hardware. For other operation types, the ATE instance may interrupt its local processor core to perform the operations.

  • Patent number: 11868261
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for prediction of an buffer pool size (BPS). Before performing BPS prediction, gathered data are used to determine whether a target workload is in a steady state. Historical utilization data gathered while the workload is in a steady state are used to predict object-specific BPS components for database objects, accessed by the target workload, that are identified for BPS analysis based on shares of the total disk I/O requests, for the workload, that are attributed to the respective objects. Preference of analysis is given to objects that are associated with larger shares of disk I/O activity. An object-specific BPS component is determined based on a coverage function that returns a percentage of the database object size (on disk) that should be available in the buffer pool for that database object. The percentage is determined using either a heuristic-based or a machine learning-based approach.

  • Patent number: 11868854
    Abstract: Herein are techniques that train regressor(s) to predict how effective would a machine learning model (MLM) be if trained with new hyperparameters and/or dataset. In an embodiment, for each training dataset, a computer derives, from the dataset, values for dataset metafeatures. The computer performs, for each hyperparameters configuration (HC) of a MLM, including landmark HCs: configuring the MLM based on the HC, training the MLM based on the dataset, and obtaining an empirical quality score that indicates how effective was said training the MLM when configured with the HC. A performance tuple is generated that contains: the HC, the values for the dataset metafeatures, the empirical quality score and, for each landmark configuration, the empirical quality score of the landmark configuration and/or the landmark configuration itself. Based on the performance tuples, a regressor is trained to predict an estimated quality score based on a given dataset and a given HC.
