Abstract: In an approach to building a file system for multiple architectures, responsive to receiving a manifest for a file system build, a base layer is retrieved for each platform to be built, where the base layer is an operating system base. Responsive to determining that any layer to be built has not been built, the next layer to be built is retrieved. Responsive to the next layer to be built is platform-independent, the next layer is retrieved from a cache, where the next layer supports each platform. Responsive to the next layer to be built is platform-dependent, the next layer is built, where a copy of the next layer is built for each platform. The above steps are iteratively repeated until each layer is built. A single image of a completed file system build is stored, where the single image supports each platform.

Abstract: A system and method to perform a forensic analysis of a file including: one or more processors; and a memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system device to: receive one or more files for analysis; identify a file format for the file; determine whether the file format is a supported multimedia file; parse the file to separate structural elements from the file; generate a profile structural signature for the one or more files; a database including a plurality of profile structural signatures corresponding to known hardware and/or software; determining whether the one or more files matches one of the plurality of profile structural signatures; and providing an indication of an identity of the known hardware and/or software for the one or more files upon a determination that the one or more files matches one of the plurality of profile structural signatures.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a solution is used to provide for a highly efficient image dispatch system for container-based in-memory databases in a database-as-a-service framework that provides storage and bandwidth cost savings and introduces advanced features of container techniques. This solution makes best use of the advantages of the concurrent and distributed capabilities of in-memory databases in a database-as-a-service framework. A container operator manager provides operators for various uses, such as the “diff” operator and the “merge” operator. A dispatch manager acts as a centralized service for diff content maintenance, patch publication and management of dispatch worker nodes. A patch worker on each node has the capabilities to execute the specified patching and validation between the images located on each side of the in-memory database in the database-as-a-service framework.

Abstract: Interruptible computing resources for executing queries may be selected. When queries are received, the probability that query can complete execution at interruptible computing resources may be determined. Computing resources to process the query may be selected based on the probability. For queries that are performed on computing resources that are interrupted, interruption handling techniques may retry the query on other computing resources or complete the query on other computing resources, in some embodiments.

Abstract: Replicas may be added to a multi-leader replica group for a data set. A new replica may be added to a group of replicas by copying a version of the data set according to a point in time to the new replica. As updates may occur at different ones of the replicas when the new replica is added, updates that occurred at a source replica for the snapshot and other replicas may be replicated by the different replicas according to the point in time at which the snapshot is created without blocking updates at any of the replicas in the replica group.

Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: generating a semantic network cell for a component of a semantic expression in a semantic network. The semantic network includes multiple semantic network cells. Each semantic network cell has attributes of a weight, an access count, and a latest time of access. A machine learning process reinforces the semantic network cell by access and deteriorates the semantic network cell over time based on semantic network cell weight rules, while the semantic network is servicing searches.

Abstract: The system and method described herein provide an order fulfillment database system. The order fulfillment database system may provide a high throughput speed, high availability, redundancy, and scalability. The order fulfillment database system supports very fast transaction times for atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID) transactions. Order services instances at a primary cluster provide in-memory databases that service segments of the persistent database and are associated with different order fulfillment entities. A routing manager routes database messages to the appropriate order services instance. A secondary cluster of order services instances provides redundancy. A retry procedure preserves the integrity of the database transactions based on a current operational state of the primary order services instances.

Abstract: Embodiments use a phantom apex node to graphically illustrate a plurality of hierarchical records. Each record includes a parent field, and an entry in the parent field identifies a parent record of a given record. The parent record is higher in hierarchy than the given record. Embodiments identify record(s) that have no entry in the parent field. A phantom apex record is added to the database. A reference to the phantom apex record is inserted for each record that did not have an entry in the parent field. An x-y coordinate position is determined for all hierarchical records based on the parent field in each record. Once the positions are determined, all references to the phantom apex record are removed from all of the parent fields, and the phantom apex record itself is removed from the database. The plurality of records are then graphically rendered on a target output medium.

Abstract: A query image is received, along with a query to initiate a search process to find other images based on the query image. The query includes a preference value associated with an attribute, the preference value indicative of a level of emphasis to be placed on the attribute during the search. A full query vector, which is within a first dimensional space and representative of the query image, is generated. The full query vector is projected to a reduced dimensional space having a dimensionality lower than the first dimensional space, to generate a query vector. An attribute direction corresponding to the attribute is identified. A plurality of candidate vectors of the reduced dimensional space is searched, based on the attribute direction, the query vector, and the preference value, to identify a target vector of the plurality of candidate vectors. A target image, representative of the target vector, is displayed.
