  • Patent number: 11907319
    Abstract: The present invention is a website-based, Internet browser accessible method of behavior assessment that consists of a user within an organization accessing the website-hosted Workplace Behavior Observation Form (WBOF) through the Universal Resource Locator (URL) address for the site to answer all form items about an observed individual in the same workplace to determine when characteristics are identified indicating the presence of and predisposition to insider threat. When the WBOF is completed, the user completing the WBOF submits the form which then is automatically scored and analyzed by pattern classifiers trained using a multitude of past examples of known insider threat characteristics across all WBOF items as input which, in turn, provide outputs of threat and risk values that are embedded in a report template in designated locations to form a completed assessment of threat, organizational vulnerabilities, and risk to the organization. The completed report is forwarded to the user's email address.

  • Patent number: 11880340
    Abstract: A method includes receiving trace data representing access information about files stored in a large-scale distributed storage system, identifying file access patterns based on the trace data, receiving metadata information associated with the files stored in the large-scale distributed storage system, and generating a preferred storage parameter for each file based on the received metadata information and the identified file access patterns. The method also includes receiving, file reliability or accessibility information of a new file, determining whether the received file reliability or accessibility information of the new file matches information of a file group of the files in the large-scale distributed storage system, and when the file reliability or accessibility information of the new file matches the information of the file group, storing the new file in the large-scale distributed storage system using the preferred storage parameter associated with the file group.

  • Patent number: 11741259
    Abstract: A permutation algorithm using modular arithmetic is applied to the cells of one or more specific fields of a database or other file type. This permutation reorders the cells of the specific field(s) without altering content of any individual cell, thereby hiding relationships between cells of the permuted field(s) and the other information in the associated records. The permutation algorithm may use modular addition and modular subtraction, in either order. Different permutation algorithms may use varying numbers of parameters. To locate a specific cell in a permuted field, the parameter(s) from the permutation, an identification of the specific record associated with the cell, and an identification of the specific permuted field are applied in a modular arithmetic operation. A specific record with which a specific cell in a permuted field is associated may be obtained by an inverse modular arithmetic operation.

  • Patent number: 11604654
    Abstract: Described approaches provide for effectively and scalably using multiple GPUs to build and probe hash tables and materialize results of probes. Random memory accesses by the GPUs to build and/or probe a hash table may be distributed across GPUs and executed concurrently using global location identifiers. A global location identifier may be computed from data of an entry and identify a global location for an insertion and/or probe using the entry. The global location identifier may be used by a GPU to determine whether to perform an insertion or probe using an entry and/or where the insertion or probe is to be performed. To coordinate GPUs in materializing results of probing a hash table a global offset to the global output buffer may be maintained in memory accessible to each of the GPUs or the GPUs may compute global offsets using an exclusive sum of the local output buffer sizes.
