Abstract: In a database system having processing units, a request is received to calculate aggregates of multiple combinations of a given set of columns. The processing units are divided into multiple groups, where each of the multiple groups includes a corresponding subset of the processing units. Within each of the groups, data of each processing unit in the group is replicated to other one or more processing units in the group. Within each of the groups, aggregates of at least some of the multiple combinations of the given set of columns are calculated by the processing units in the group using the replicated data.

Abstract: A method for searching a web service registry system by use of a search controller. A first search of a service registry program product is performed with a service name received by the search controller from a user. It is determined that the received service name does not have a service description associated with the received service name in the service registry program product. A second search of the service registry program product is coordinated with a candidate service name by use of the search module, wherein the candidate service name is semantically and syntactically interchangeable with the received service name such that the candidate service name identifies the service description associated with the received service name within the service registry program product. The service description is discovered to be associated with the candidate service name within the service registry program product and is subsequently returned to the user.

Abstract: A generalized input/output application programming interface (API) may provide an interface to file related operations. As a result of using this API, users of the array-based programming language may be able to manipulate stored data as though the data were a virtual array loaded into memory. Users do not need to memorize a different API in order to access data which may be stored in different file or data formats. In addition, using this API simplifies the task of working with large data sets by giving users seamless access to the sections of data they want to operate on when the entire data is too large to be loaded into memory.

Abstract: A design-time status schema model is defined at design-time and includes a core status schema group and an. a status schema model. The status schema model includes a core status schema group and an extended status schema group. The status schema model also includes a precondition included in one of the status schema groups. The precondition identifies how a status affects whether an action included in the other of the status schema groups is to be allowed to be performed at runtime by a data object node instance having the status. Based on a status schema instance, the status of a data object node instance is monitored to determine whether the action is allowed to be performed by the data object node instance. In response to a determination that the action is allowed, enabling the action to be executed.
