Abstract: A system and method can support failover during synchronization between autonomous clusters in a distributed data grid. The system allows a cluster member in a source cluster to take over as an owner of a partition in a source cluster, when another cluster member in the source cluster becomes unavailable. Then, a cluster member in the destination cluster can receive one or more replication messages from said cluster member in the source cluster, wherein said one or more replication messages include one or more data changes. Furthermore, the cluster member in the destination cluster may ignore said one or more replication messages, if said one or more replication messages have already been received and successfully processed in the destination cluster.

Abstract: Methods and systems may involve identifying source content associated with an activity of a user with respect to a first media source.

Abstract: Systems and user interfaces enable integration of data items from disparate sources to generate optimized packages of data items. For example, the systems described herein can obtain data items from various sources, score the data items, and present, via an interactive user interface, options for packaging the data items based on the scores. The systems may include artificial intelligence algorithms for selecting optimal combinations of data items for packaging. Further, the interactive user interfaces may enable a user to efficiently add data items to, and remove data items from, the data packages. The system may interactively re-calculate and update scores associated with the package of data items as the user interacts with the data package via the user interface. The systems and user interfaces may thus, according to various embodiments, enable the user to optimize the packages of data items based on multiple factors quickly and efficiently.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a distributed parallel processing database system that persists table data in memory to a distributed file system. A distributed parallel processing database system persists table data in memory to a distributed file system. A parameter of creating a database table specifies that data records in the database table and history of changes to the data records can be stored in memory as well as in the distributed file system. When the database table is populated or otherwise modified, data records and the history in memory are evicted to the distributed file system as log files and removed from memory. The log files can be designated as write-only, where the data records, once written, cannot be read by structured query language (SQL) queries, or as read-write, where the data records, once written, can be read by SQL queries.

The comparison properties include attributes that match or are a near match to the search criteria. The system compares each of the comparison properties to at least one average value and demonstrably depicts the comparison to the user.

Abstract: A system and method to present global and local context sensitive augmented content in accordance with multiple criteria, including one or more user's preferences, and present the augmented content via a transparent layer on top of the original content for less obtrusive and more efficient browsing, knowledge discovery and exploration experience. The original content remains visible to the user while the augmented content is being viewed or interacted with. The global context sensitive augmented content is generated using metrics based on the overall document or content being viewed, while the local context sensitive augmented content is generated using metrics based on the currently viewed or selected object within the document or content being viewed. Real-time and theme based augmentation are used to further enhance the user's experience.

Abstract: In a method of automated document replication in a distributed computing system, a document at a first node of a distributed computing system is analyzed. Based on the analysis, it is determined whether the document has a multi-node affinity. In response to determining that the document has a multi-node affinity, at least one document is automatically replicated between nodes of the distributed computing system. The indicated nodes are indicated based on context of the multi-node affinity of the analyzed document.

Abstract: Roughly described, a network interface device is assigned a maximum extent-of-search. A hash function is applied to the header information of each incoming packet, to generate a hash code for the packet. The hash code designates a particular subset of the table within which the particular header information should be found, and an iterative search is made within that subset. If the search locates a matching entry before the search limit is exceeded, then the incoming data packet is delivered to the receive queue identified in the matching entry. But if the search reaches the search limit before a matching entry is located, then device delivers the packet to a default queue, such as a kernel queue, in the host computer system. The kernel is then responsible for delivering the packet to the correct endpoint.
