Abstract: A method for managing storage of data in a distributed namespace (DNS) system includes obtaining, by a garbage collection (GC) agent of a computing node in the DNS system, a request for processing a set of pages in a file system, each page being associated with one of a plurality of either dataful or dataless snapshots. In response to the request, the GC agent performs a page processing on each page in the set of pages based on an association to a dataless or dataful snapshot of each page to obtain a subset of the pages, and performs, using a data manager of the computing node, a physical enumeration of the subset of the pages to obtain a managed storage of the DNS system, wherein the managed storage is cleaned based on data not associated with the subset of pages.

Abstract: A key value store is maintained at a destination and includes pages of a B+ tree holding filing metadata of first and second files belonging to a logical partition of a filesystem. The pages are associated with KVS keys, each KVS key including a logical partition id, snapshot id, and page number. The snapshot id corresponds to a current snapshot id at a time the pages were written to the KVS. A clone is created at the destination. The parent is assigned a first logical partition id, clone child is assigned a second logical partition id, and current snapshot id is incremented. The destination receives changes to the first and second files. As soon as updates are applied to one of the first or second files, the updated file is scanned for viruses while updates continue to be applied to another of the first or second files.

Abstract: In various examples, input queries (e.g. open user queries) are used combination with predefined queries to perform security policy-related actions using a generative machine learning (GML) model or GML models. In one example, an input query relating to a security policy is matched with a predefined query stored in an instruction database. In some examples, the instruction database contains examples of structured configuration data, which in turn can be used by a GML model to configure a predetermined extractor code module to perform a specific policy-related action. In other examples, a security context relating to a security policy is used together with an input query and template query to generate a GML model query. In some examples, the two approaches are combined.

Abstract: A real-time event data reporting system is disclosed that makes real-time and near-real-time monitoring and reporting possible in edge devices. For example, in various instances, the real-time event data reporting system embeds services within traditional event data collectors of edge devices to obtain, organize, and publish event data for local computing devices in real time utilizing in-memory storage. Additionally, the real-time event data reporting system further processes the published event data to generate aggregated data that is persisted to a persistence storage. In this manner, the real-time reporting system efficiently and accurately provides event data reports to client devices with processed metric data in real time, or in near-real time when utilizing additional fallback safeguards.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for docking a legged robot. A system can obtain sensor data from one or more sensors of the legged robot. The system can obtain dock association data associated with the legged robot. The dock association data may indicate an association of two or more docks to the legged robot. Based on the dock association data, the system can identify a dock of the two or more docks. The system can instruct the legged robot to perform a docking maneuver relative to the dock based on the sensor data and based on identifying the dock. For example, the system can instruct the legged robot to dock at the dock.

Abstract: A method for managing a file system includes: receiving a directory tree delete request from a user via a computing device; in response to the request, making a determination that the directory tree associated with the file system is marked as a detachable directory, in which, before sending the request, the user marks the directory tree as the detachable directory; based on the determination and in real-time or near real-time, deleting the directory tree by removing an associated internal node from a B+ tree that is associated with the file system; initiating notifying of the user about a completion of the request; and after the initiating, reclaiming storage space associated with the directory tree in a garbage collection cycle.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for congestion aware placement of the fabric components of an interconnect in an integrated circuit device. A floorplan of the interconnect is projected on a virtual grid that includes placement locations for the fabric components. Locations of the fabric components can be initialized with the placement locations of the virtual grid. Updated locations for the placement of each of the fabric components on the virtual grid can be determined based on minimization of a total wirelength (TWL) cost function of all the nets in the interconnect. Timing slices are inserted in the interconnect after the placement of the fabric components at the updated locations. The floorplan information with the placement information of the fabric components and the timing slices can be used for the physical design of the interconnect to provide a timing clean result.

Abstract: A key value store is maintained in which the key value store includes pages of a B+ Tree structure holding file metadata of a logical partition of a filesystem. The pages are associated with keys through which the pages are retrieved from the key value store. The keys are named. A clone is created of the logical partition, the logical partition now being a parent and the clone now being a child. The naming of the keys is used to allow the pages stored in the key value store to be read by any of the parent or child. The naming of the keys is used to allow any of the parent or child to make updates to the pages, where updated pages are owned by a respective parent or child that made the updates, and pages not updated remain accessible by any of the parent or child.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method of treating a human subject afflicted with lung cancer (e.g., non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)) with a programmed death-1 (PD-1) pathway inhibitor (e.g., an anti-PD-1 antibody) and a concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT, e.g., a platinum doublet chemotherapy (PDCT) and a radiation therapy) followed by a combination of a PD-1 pathway inhibitor (e.g., an anti-PD-1 antibody) and a lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3) antagonist (e.g., an anti-LAG-3 antibody). In some aspects, the method comprises a recovery period that begins upon completion of the treatment with the PD-1 pathway inhibitor and the CCRT and ends at the start of the treatment with the combination of the PD-1 pathway inhibitor and the LAG-3 antagonist.
