Abstract: A method of efficiently computing values for a data structure having cells having dependencies is disclosed. The data structure may encode complex system. The complex system data structure is traversed to produce a directed graph. The nodes of the directed graph are assigned a depth and labeled as circular or non-circular. Nodes having a base depth are terminal and correspond to cells having known values. The nodes are assigned to depth lists, which are processed until all values have been calculated or a maximum number of attempts to process the lists is reached.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for building a library of custom named entities for a database environment and using the library for processing natural language search queries. At configuration time, custom named entities are extracted or derived from a search model or the database environment. Records for the custom entities with associated database unique identifiers and tags are stored in a library. Custom entities can be based on labels of database objects, variants thereof, or domain values. At search time, a natural language query is tokenized and matched with custom entities from the library, and with other predefined named entities, to obtained structured search descriptors. For more efficient search, compound entities can be identified in the search string, comprising a custom entity and a value, or a custom entity and another token sequence. Variations and examples are disclosed.

Abstract: When an operation request of a file is made, a first storage system performs an operation of the file stored in the first storage system on the basis of the operation request, describes, in an operation log, a counter value of a management information file, associated with the file on which the operation is to be performed, together with operation content with respect to the file, replies to the operation request, and updates the counter value of the management information file when the file stored in the first storage system is transferred to a second storage system.

Abstract: A system and method include reconfiguring original configuration parameters of virtual objects when restoring the virtual objects on a different node. Snapshots of virtual objects running on a first node can be stored on a second node. Upon failure of the first node, the virtual objects can be restored on the second node based on the snapshots. The snapshots can include configuration information of the virtual objects specifying the resource need of the virtual objects. The second node can determine whether the available resources meet the resource needs of the virtual objects being restored. If the resource needs of the virtual objects exceed the available resources, the second node can reconfigure the original configuration parameters of the virtual objects to ensure the virtual objects can be restored and run on the second node.

Abstract: Techniques for maintaining d-heap property and speeding up retrieval operations, such as top or pop, by vectorizing the d-heap and utilizing horizontal aggregation SIMD instructions across the retrieval operations. A d-heap is vectorized by storing it in a contiguous memory array containing a beginning-most side and end-most side. Horizontal aggregation SIMD instructions are utilized to aggregate the values of the vectorized d-heap. Thus, the number of comparisons required in order to find the maximum or minimum key value within a single node of the d-heap is reduced resulting in faster retrieval operations.

Abstract: A system and method for the creation of household links (HHLs) associates each household with particular consumers associated with a consumer link (CL) and an address link (AL). The system and method utilize a feedback loop system to maintain persistence of HHLs over time and more accurately resolve HHLs. Top-down and bottom-up clustering methods are applied to the data, and the best results are taken to generate the final association of HHLs with particular ALs and CLs. By more accurately identifying the households associated with particular consumer data, the invention significantly reduces the storage requirements and time required for processing very large consumer data sets.

Abstract: Recurring search automation with search event detection is enabled. Responsive to detection of search events and/or user triggering, a recurring search may be generated. The recurring search may be based on the detected search event, for example, based on search parameters of the detected search event. The recurring search may be associated with a recurrence schedule. Search results may be generated by performing the recurring search in accordance with the recurrence schedule. Data corresponding to the generated search results may be provided. For example, the results may be provided for presentation in accordance with user preferences. The relevant search events may be detected by a search detection module. For example, the search detection module may be incorporated into a user client such as a web browser. The recurring searches may be maintained by a recurring search service.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing concurrent access to a resource via multiple user identities via a single client entity. A first authenticated session is established with an instance of a browser. The first session is associated with a first identity of a first user. A request to access the resource with an intermediate identity concurrently with the first session is detected. The intermediate identity is mapped to a target identity of a target user to be emulated. A second authentication session is established with the browser instance. The second session is associated with the intermediate identity. The request to access the resource is translated into a request to access the resource with the target identity. The translated request is forwarded to the resource. The response from the resource is translated to a response to the browser instance accessing the resource utilizing the target identity and returned to the browser instance.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards real time display of event records and extracted values based on at least one extraction rule, such as a regular expression. A user interface may be employed to enable a user to have an extraction rule automatically generate and/or to manually enter an extraction rule. The user may be enabled to manually edit a previously provided extraction rule, which may result in real time display of updated extracted values. The extraction rule may be utilized to extract values from each of a plurality of records, including event records of unstructured machine data. Statistics may be determined for each unique extracted value, and may be displayed to the user in real time. The user interface may also enable the user to select at least one unique extracted value to display those event records that include an extracted value that matches the selected value.
