Abstract: A computing device, including a processor configured to execute a physics engine. At a first time step, the physics engine may, for a first body located at a first position, determine a non-collision region bounded on a side by a separation plane such that when the first body is within the non-collision region, the first body does not collide with a second body. The physics engine may apply lossy compression to the separation plane to generate a compressed separation plane, and may determine a first conservative distance vector between the first body and the compressed separation plane. At a second time step, the physics engine may move the first body to a second position, determine a second conservative distance vector between the first body and the compressed separation plane, and translate the compressed separation plane based on the second position and the second conservative distance vector.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for performance evaluation of Input/Output (I/O) intensive enterprise applications. Representative workloads may be generated for enterprise applications using synthetic benchmarks that can be used across multiple platforms with different storage systems. I/O traces are captured for an application of interest at low concurrencies and features that affect performance significantly are extracted, fed to a synthetic benchmark and replayed on a target system thereby accurately creating the same behavior of the application. Statistical methods are used to extrapolate the extract features to predict performance at higher concurrency level without generating traces at those concurrency levels. The method does not require deploying the application or database on the target system since performance of system is dependent on access patterns instead of actual data.

Abstract: The disclosed methods and systems allow adding constraints (“mates”) between components of the CAD model when in a graphics mode (i.e., when bodies of the CAD model are not loaded). Information regarding CAD model entities is accessed from a computer database, where the CAD model entities belong to one or more components of the subject CAD model. A graphical representation of the subject CAD model is presented to a user without loading bodies of the subject CAD model.

Displaying the model in graphics mode saves time as well as memory usage, and the added constraints persistent after resolving the components from the graphics mode.
