  • Patent number: 11397732
    Abstract: An in-memory graph query runtime is integrated inside a database management system and is capable of performing simple patter-matching queries against homogeneous graphs. The runtime efficiently combines breadth-first (BFS) and depth-first (DFS) neighbor traversal algorithms to achieve a hybrid runtime that takes the best from both sides. As a result, the hybrid runtime is able to process arbitrarily large queries with a fixed amount of memory, optimizing for memory locality.

  • Patent number: 11327955
    Abstract: A method is provided for performing transaction processing in a system that includes a plurality of nodes. Each of the nodes include a processor, an application executing in the processor, and an instance of a database used by the application. Each node executes transactions. At least two of the nodes are selected to receive the same request to process a transaction, and the processor at each of the at least two nodes executes the same request to process a transaction. Each of the at least two nodes replicates the steps and operations of the transactions to one or more other nodes in the system. The processor at the one or more other nodes compares the replicated steps and operations of the transactions that were received from each of the at least two nodes and executes one or more remediation actions when the result of the comparison indicates that the replicated steps and operations of the replicated transactions do not match each other.

  • Patent number: 11327927
    Abstract: System and method for creating group snapshots of multiple storage objects uses storage structures to store the storage objects in a storage system. In order to create a group snapshot of storage objects, a prepare snapshot process is executed at each of multiple host computers managing the storage objects as storage structures to block input and output operations on the storage objects stored in the storage structures. A commit snapshot process is then executed at each of the multiple host computers to create snapshots of the storage object in the respective storage structures. In addition, the snapshots of the storage object are recorded in the respective storage structures as snapshot entries in the respective storage structures.

  • Patent number: 11314715
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to enhancement or refinement of estimated locations based upon user-specific information. Upon user authorization, geographical information is extracted from a number of user-related sources, including the web browser history, search history, maps history, address book, e-mail archives and calendar entries. Such information is used to build a spatial index of specific physical locations for a geocoded result set. From this, heat maps identifying particular locations from the user-related sources are created for different periods of time. The heat maps may be used to refine an initial location estimate of the user. This may be done by determining whether one or more positions in a given heat map provide a more accurate position of the user than the initial estimate. If so, a best position is selected. This can be used to provide enhanced driving directions to the user.
