Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for communicating message objects from a first process to a second process in transport node of a virtualized network, the message objects specifying a change to status of a virtualized network object in the virtualized network. In technique, message objects are separated from operation objects, which have fields corresponding to the fields of the message objects, a field of the operations object being capable of specifying a change to or a status of a field of the message object to which it corresponds. Yet another object combines a message object and an operation object so that the protocol for communication between the first and second process is the same regardless of the contents of the actual message.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a kernel of an operating system executing on a computing device, a request to store a message to communicate from a first process to a second process using a circular buffer. The circular buffer includes a first number of memory segments. An ownership of a first memory segment of the circular buffer is determined, based on a corresponding first ownership segment of an ownership array for the circular buffer. The ownership array includes a second number of ownership segments, where the second number is the same as the first number. Responsive to determining that the first segment is available to the first process, the message is stored in the first memory segment. After the message is stored in the first memory segment, the first ownership segment is changed to indicate the first memory segment is owned by the second process.

Abstract: Intelligent application notification management is provided. A state machine on a communication device is used to retain, sequence, and handle notifications included in a notification queue. It is determined whether a new notification has been received and whether the new notification can be added to a notification queue based on a maximum number of notifications. It may be determined whether the new notification is a duplicate of an existing notification in the notification queue. Notifications in the queue may be combined, reordered, and altered. The notification queue may be modified based on one or more of the following: an attribute, user input, user preference, a system state, or whether an application to which the notification is related is currently active. The notification management system may therefore decide which of the notifications to display and when to display them, such that notifications are presented logically and a user is not overwhelmed.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for reducing cold starts code within a serverless code execution system by providing a set of environments reserved for the code. A frontend utilizes a consistent hash ring to distribute calls for execution among a set of manager devices that manage environments in the system, distributed in a manner that groups calls together and attempts to distribute calls of the same group to a stable subset of the manager devices. Each group is assigned an arc, representing a subset of manager devices. When a call is received to execute a set of code that has environments reserved, the frontend distributes the call to a manager device of a reserved arc. When a call is received to execute a set of code that does not have environment reserved, the frontend distributes the call to an arc associated with an arc for unreserved executions.

Intersections between object instances and influence areas of spatial modificators are identified. Object instances that intersect with the influence areas may be changed according to the spatial modificator and in accordance with the predetermined degree of change.

Abstract: A terminal apparatus receives identification information for events transmitted sequentially in conjunction with occurrence of events; sequentially identifies estimated time points at which each event is estimated to occur; determines whether progress of the plurality of events has stopped depending on whether it receives identification information for each event at a corresponding estimated time point for each event; in each of a plurality of event groups obtained by temporally dividing events, when an estimated time point is reached for an earliest event among at least one event belonging to each event group, causes a playback device to play related information for the at least one event belonging to each event group, and when progress of events is determined to have stopped, defers update of related information, which the playback device caused to play, and then resumes update of played related information when identification information is received after the determination.
