Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for performing a parallel scan operation with high computational efficiency in a single-instruction multiple-data (SIMD) environment. Each participating thread initially writes an extended region of a data array to initialize the region with an identity value. For example, a value of zero is used as the identity value for addition. The initialized region of the data array includes an initialized entry for every possible out of bounds index that may be computed in the normal course of the parallel scan operation. During the parallel scan operation each thread computes data array indices according to any technically appropriate technique. When a participating thread computes an index that would conventionally be out of bounds, the thread is able to retrieve an identity value from the initialized region of the data array rather than perform a bounds check that returns the identity value.

Abstract: An outgoing message monitor is provided. In an embodiment, outgoing messages are monitored to detect potential errors and alerts may be triggered. Using information about a message such as an email, a first classifier classifies the email into an expected class and a second classifier classifies the email into an actual class. On the basis of a comparison of the expected and actual classes an alert may be triggered. In an embodiment, the second classifier uses information derived from text content of the email which may optionally be pre-processed. The first classifier, for example, uses other information about the email such as its intended recipients, information about the presence of attachments, information about whether the email is part of a thread and other information.

Abstract: When a document in which a shortcut has been set is exchanged to another document, a shortcut to the document before the exchange is enabled to effectively act on the document after the exchange. When a formation of a shortcut of the document is instructed, the shortcut including a document ID of the document is formed and attributes (shortcut formation history) of the document are updated. After that, when a deletion of the document into a trash box and a formation of a proxy entity of the document are instructed, a proxy entity in which a user ID set into the document to be deleted has been set is formed. The proxy entity is formed in a same folder as a folder in which the deletion document exists. The document ID of the deletion document and the document ID of the formed proxy entity are exchanged and the deletion document is moved into the trash box.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and system for hardware-accelerating the generation of metadata for a data stream using a coprocessor. Using these techniques, data can be richly indexed, classified, and clustered at high speeds. Reconfigurable logic such a field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) can be used by the coprocessor for this hardware acceleration. Techniques such as exact matching, approximate matching, and regular expression pattern matching can be employed by the coprocessor to generate desired metadata for the data stream.

Abstract: A search engine for searching a corpus improves the relevancy of the results by classifying multiple terms in a search query as a single semantic unit. A semantic unit locator of the search engine generates a subset of documents that are generally relevant to the query based on the individual terms within the query. Combinations of search terms that define potential semantic units from the query are then evaluated against the subset of documents to determine which combinations of search terms should be classified as a semantic unit. The resultant semantic units are used to refine the results of the search.

Abstract: Provided is a solution for storing data, the data comprising a set of tables, each table comprising a set of columns, each column comprising a set of values, each value being one or more data types. In the solution, a binary tree can be created for each of the data types. Each binary tree can comprise a set of nodes. A set of arrays can be associated with each node of the binary tree. The array associated with each node of each binary tree can correspond to one of the columns that comprises the value of the data type represented by the node of the binary tree. Each array can indicate at least one table row and column from the plurality of tables in which the value of the data type represented by the node of the binary tree occurs.

Abstract: The invention meeting the need identified above is the “Enhanced Database Propagation Program” or (EDPP). EDPP uses a cyclic member table that identifies a first source table in a cyclic relationship with a second source table. The first source table, identified in the cyclic member table, propagates first. EDPP replaces all foreign keys with “NULL” in the first target table. After the second source table in the subscription set has propagated to a second target table, EDPP updates first target table with the foreign keys from the first source table.

Abstract: Ranking documents based on a series of web graphs collected over time is provided. A ranking system provides multiple transition probability distributions representing different snapshots or times. Each transition probability distribution represents a probability of transitioning from one document to another document within a collection of documents using a link of the document. The ranking system determines a stationary probability distribution for each snapshot based on the transition probability distributions for that snapshot and the stationary probability distribution of the previous snapshot. The stationary probability distributions represent a ranking of the documents over time.

Abstract: A system and method may assist in accurately inserting user data into a form document. An attribute may be received from a user, where the attribute is associated with an attribute name.
