Patent number: 12608173Abstract: Techniques for document sorting with bitmap indexes are described. A request to sort a set of documents is received. A bitmap that identifies the set of documents to be sorted is obtained. An ordered set of sort bitmaps is obtained, each sort bitmap in the ordered set of sort bitmaps corresponding to a bit in an encoding of a data type to be sorted. A series of passes of bitwise operations is performed with the ordered set of sort bitmaps, each pass to identify a next document identifier to add to a sorted set of document identifiers by processing an initial bitmap with bitwise operations in order against at least a portion of the ordered set of sort bitmaps. The initial bitmap of the first pass in the series of passes is initialized with the obtained bitmap. The sorted set of document identifiers is stored.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2023Date of Patent: April 21, 2026Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John Espenhahn, Ali Koc, Nitya Dhimantkumar Sheth, Rajat Mathur, Vidit Ochani, Ronald Stephen Kyker, Amit Gul Phagwani, George Steven McPherson

Publication number: 20240135312Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for generating a resource allocation in an omnichannel distribution network. Demand forecast data and current inventory data related to a resource and the omnichannel distribution network are obtained and an ally-adversary bimodal inventory optimization (BIO) computer model is instantiated that includes an adversary component that simulates, through a computer simulation, a worst-case scenario of resource demand and resource availability, and an ally component that limits the adversary component based on a simulation of a limited best-case scenario of resource demand and resource availability. The BIO computer model is applied to the demand forecast data and current inventory data, to generate a predicted consumption for the resource. A resource allocation recommendation is generated for allocating the resource to locations of the omnichannel distribution network based on the predicted consumption, which is output to a downstream computing system for further processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Shivaram Subramanian, Pavithra Harsha, Ali Koc, Brian Leo Quanz, Mahesh Ramakrishna, Dhruv Shah
