  • Patent number: 11899576
    Abstract: In a closed-loop garbage collection system a comparator receives a first target time indicating when a first superblock of memory is expected to be filled based on a first write rate for a first write cursor writing data units into the first superblock. The comparator further receives a negative loop feedback based on one or more elements from the garbage collection process. The comparator determines a first garbage collection rate based on the first target time and the negative loop feedback, where the first garbage collection rate is calculated to provide a free empty superblock to the first write cursor within a range of time of the first target time. The comparator sends instructions to a garbage collection manager to perform a garbage collection process at the first garbage collection rate, wherein an outcome of the garbage collection process is incorporated into the negative loop feedback sent to the comparator.

  • Patent number: 11726788
    Abstract: A system and method for notifying a process about a creation or removal event of a named data element (NDE) in a coordination namespace distributed memory system. A controller runs methods to: generate a tuple corresponding to data generated by a requesting process, the tuple having a tuple name and data value; and generate a notification indicator in a pending notification list to indicate to one or more processes a notification of the creation or removal event associated with the corresponding tuple. Upon detecting the event performed on the tuple by a second process, the method further searches for NDEs in the distributed memory system having the same tuple name, and in response to determining an existence of an associated pending notification record in a pending notification list of records, notify each corresponding process of the one or more processes indicated in the list of the creation or removal event.

  • Patent number: 11620315
    Abstract: The process receives a visual specification, which specifies data sources, visual variables, and data fields from the data sources. Each visual variable is associated with one or more data fields and each data field is either a dimension or a measure. For each measure m, the process identifies a set R(m) consisting of dimensions that are reachable from the measure by a sequence of many-to-one relationships in an object model for the data sources. For each distinct set R, the process forms a data field set S, consisting of each dimension in R and each measure m for which R(m)=R. For each set S and for each measure in the set S, the process aggregates values of the measure according to the dimensions in S. The process builds a data visualization according to the data fields in the set S and the visual variables they are associated with.

  • Patent number: 11514008
    Abstract: Migration results in specific action requests to move data from a source system instance to a target system instance. Migration may consume many resources. In an effort to monitor migration effects on source and/or target performance, one or more traffic lights are determined to monitor utilization of resources of the source and/or target. Based on the one or more traffic lights, migration is dynamically throttled. The one or more traffic light may be assigned a status based on how the migration affects performance of another data operation which may be contemporaneously operating on either the source and/or the target.

  • Patent number: 11113154
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for cross-system user-level management of data objects stored in one or more information management systems, and for user-level management of data storage quotas in information management systems, including data objects in secondary storage. An illustrative quota manager is associated with one or more information management systems. The quota manager comprises a quota value representing the maximum amount of data storage allowed for a given end-user's primary and secondary data in the one or more information management systems. The quota manager determines whether data associated with the end-user has exceeded the storage quota, and if so, prompts the end-user to select data for deletion, the deletion to be implemented globally, across the primary and secondary storage subsystems of the respective one or more information management systems. Meanwhile, so long as the quota is exceeded, the quota manager instructs storage managers to block backups of end-user's data.

  • Patent number: 11080295
    Abstract: Techniques for organizing knowledge about a dataset storing data from or about multiple sources may be provided. For example, the data can be accessed from the multiple sources and categorized based on the data type. For each data type, a triple extraction technique specific to that data type may be invoked. One set of techniques can allow the extraction of triples from the data based on natural language-based rules. Another set of techniques can allow a similar extraction based on logical or structural-based rules. A triple may store a relationship between elements of the data. The extracted triples can be stored with corresponding identifiers in a list. Further, dictionaries storing associations between elements of the data and the triples can be updated. The list and the dictionaries can be used to return triples in response to a query that specifies one or more elements.
