  • Patent number: 11429611
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for processing data of a database system, the database system being configured to connect to a centralized cache shared with other database systems. The method includes determining a unique identifier of the content of a table of the database system using a common identification method of the database systems. A database command may be generated for processing data of the table. The command references the identifier. It may be determined if the cache comprises results of a same command with the same identifier. The command may be processed at the database system or the results of the command may be retrieved from the cache depending on whether the cache comprises the results.

  • Patent number: 11403106
    Abstract: A method for parallel processing of a data stream is provided. In the method, a processing task is received. The processing task is configured to process a data stream that includes a plurality of segments. A split operation is subsequently performed on the data stream to split the plurality of segments into N sub-streams, where each of the N sub-streams includes one or more segments of the plurality of segments, and the N is a positive integer. Further, N sub-processing tasks are performed on the N sub-streams to generate N processed sub-streams. A merge operation is performed on the N processed sub-streams to generate a merged output data stream. The merged output data stream is identical to an output data steam that is generated when the processing task is applied directly to the data stream without the split operation.
