Abstract: Systems and methods for supporting inter subnet partitions in a high performance computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, a fabric manager can define a range of P_Key values, among a plurality of P_Key values, as a inter subnet partition (ISP) P_Key range. The fabric manager can communicate this defined range of P_Key values to a number of subnets, via their subnet managers. The subnet managers in each subnet retain management over their subnets. As there is no central management that configures each side of inter subnet communication, subnet managers on within participating subnets can set up ISP membership, and then exchange information with the other subnet.

Abstract: Implementations of PDB Sandboxing in layers and mapping to different operating systems are described. In exemplary implementations, one or more pluggable databases (PDBs) are encapsulated on common container databases to form one or more PDB sandboxes.

Users may stack cards to save screen space, and users may scroll to view different parts of the hierarchy. Users may edit information from data items represented by the cards.

Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, systems and methods for session handling in a multitenant application server environment are provided. The ability to replicate a session is important but equally so is the ability to ensure the session is successfully deserialized on some server in order to serve the request. After a server has been shut down, the front end can fail over the request to one of the remaining server members in a cluster. Once the server receives the request it can attempt to grab the session from a server that holds a copy of that session. When a patched or unpatched server attempts to load the session that originated from a server of the opposite state, it can fail to deserialize the session, and inform the traffic director of severs in the cluster that are capable of deserializing the session.

The allocation unit mappings and metadata blocks are then used to execute writes to the data set and free blocks in the snapshots.

Abstract: Techniques for restricting plug-in application recipes (“PIARs”) are disclosed. A PIAR management application receives a PIAR restriction via an authenticated user of the PIAR management application. The PIAR restriction is applicable to certain users of the PIAR management application. The PIAR restriction identifies functionality of the PIAR management application that would otherwise be available to a user of the PIAR management application if the user had an active account for a particular plug-in application that, once linked to that user in the PIAR management application and associated with a particular PIAR, would be capable of supplying at least part of the functionality. The PIAR management application stores the PIAR restriction, including information to block the restricted functionality. Based on the PIAR restriction, the PIAR management application blocks the restricted functionality. Many different types of functionality may be restricted, in various ways.

Abstract: Techniques for transforming plug-in application recipe (PIAR) variables are disclosed. A PIAR definition identifies a trigger and an action. Trigger variable values, exposed by a first plug-in application, are necessary to evaluate the trigger. Evaluating the trigger involves determining whether a condition is satisfied, based on values of trigger variables. A second plug-in application exposes an interface for carrying out an action. Evaluating the action involves carrying out the action based on input variable values. A user selects, via a graphical user interface of a PIAR management application, a variable for a trigger or action operation and a transformation operation to be applied to the variable. The PIAR management application generates a PIAR definition object defining the trigger, the action, and the transformation operation, and stores the PIAR definition object for evaluation on an ongoing basis.

Abstract: An optical transmitter includes a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) coupled to an input end of a first optical waveguide. An end of the first optical waveguide provides a transmitter output for the optical transmitter. Moreover, a section of the first optical waveguide between the input end and the output end is optically coupled to a ring modulator that modulates an optical signal based on an electrical input signal. A passive ring filter (or a 1×N silicon-photonic switch and a bank of band reflectors) is connected to provide a mirror that reflects light received from the second optical waveguide back toward the RSOA to form a lasing cavity. Moreover, the ring modulator and the passive ring filter have different sizes, which causes a Vernier effect that provides a large wavelength tuning range for the lasing cavity in response to tuning the ring modulator and the passive ring filter.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods that facilitate implementation of software component ecosystems using a distributed ledger, e.g., as implemented in part as a distributed blockchain, that is maintained by ecosystem full nodes, called catalog instances.

Abstract: Techniques for managing a plug-in application recipe (“PIAR”) are disclosed. A mapping between (a) a user-selected field, selected via a PIAR creation interface, and (b) a third-party application field, exposed by an application programming interface (“API”) of a third-party application, is stored. The third-party application field is associated with a trigger or action of a PIAR. Managing the PIAR in an active state involves periodically receiving and checking data from the third-party application field against a PIAR condition. During or after managing the PIAR in the active state, information is stored to update the mapping to a different mapping. The different mapping maps the user-selected field to a different third-party application field. Without modifying the PIAR, managing the PIAR in the active state then involves periodically receiving and checking data from the different third-party application field against the PIAR condition.

Abstract: One or more computers may close a purchase order by use of rules. Certain embodiments use values of attributes of a line in a purchase order (PO) to identify a rule among multiple rules. The PO line's attributes which are used to identify the rule are internal to a buyer. When the rule which is identified is disabled, the line is retained unchanged in the purchase order. When the identified rule is not disabled, a user-specified logic which is identified in the rule is used to determine a new value of a numeric term, the numeric term having a preexisting value previously agreed upon by the buyer and the seller, e.g. in units of quantity or units of money. Subsequently, an indication of the line being changed in the purchase order is transmitted to the seller. User may specify different logics in different sets of rules, for different business units.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that, in various embodiments, improve chart performance by data filtering. In one aspect, the disclosed techniques allow all visible local maxima and minima to be rendered without having their values altered. In another aspect, the disclosed techniques filter data by skipping points evenly. In some embodiments, every horizontal pixel contains two points, so the line is visually uniform. This can dramatically enhance visualizations where data point intervals are uneven (e.g., having “mixed frequency”). Using a two point per pixel approach, the disclosed techniques ensure that a resulting simplified line looks almost identical to the original line by drawing at the limit of the screen resolution. The disclosed techniques allow for an algorithmic complexity of O(n), which is significantly faster than existing solutions.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods of the present invention are related to determining an intent of an utterance. For example, an intent classification application accesses a sentence with fragments. The intent classification application creates a parse tree for the sentence. The intent classification application generates a discourse tree that represents rhetorical relationships between the fragments. The intent classification application matches each fragment that has a verb to a verb signature, thereby creating a communicative discourse tree. The intent classification application creates a parse thicket by combining the communicative discourse tree and the parse tree. The intent classification application determines an intent of the sentence from a predefined list of intent classes by applying a classification model to the parse thicket.

Abstract: An access management system is disclosed that can employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) using multiple types of authentication. In at least one embodiment, techniques may include implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) including knowledge-based authentication (KBA). MFA may be based on multiple factors, such as “what you know” (e.g., a password or an answer to a question known by a user) and “what you have” (e.g., a trusted device registered for a user).

Abstract: Techniques for identifying common neighbors of two nodes in a graph are provided. One technique involves performing a binary split search and/or a linear search. Another technique involves creating a segmenting index for a first neighbor list. A second neighbor list is scanned and, for each node indicated in the second neighbor list, the segmenting index is used to determine whether the node is also indicated in the first neighbor list. Techniques are also provided for counting the number of triangles. One technique involves pruning nodes from neighbor lists based on the node values of the nodes whose neighbor lists are being pruned. Another technique involves sorting the nodes in a node array (and, thus, their respective neighbor lists) based on the nodes' respective degrees prior to identifying common neighbors. In this way, when pruning the neighbor lists, the neighbor lists of the highly connected nodes are significantly reduced.

Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to automatic system suspension based upon downstream system failure in service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications. A system management module of a SOA system may be configured to detect a problem with a downstream service provider involved with a SOA application, and in response, automatically suspend particular processing within the application to prevent requests that may end up at the downstream service provider from entering the SOA application. The system management module may implement a circuit breaker module that maintains a circuit breaker structure specific to a downstream endpoint leading to a downstream service provider. Upon a triggering of a circuit breaker for a downstream endpoint, one or more upstream service providers are identified as associated with faulted traffic causing the triggering, and the system management module can automatically cause further traffic from these upstream service providers to be suspended.
