Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to systems and methods for preparing data. IN one aspect, a computer system obtains input images and groups them into image clusters including a first image cluster that includes a first set of input images. The computer system extracts image keywords from each of the first set of input images and groups the image keywords to identify a plurality of cluster keywords of the first image cluster. The computer device determines a plurality of keyword weights, each associated with a respective one cluster keyword of the plurality of cluster keywords based on cluster locations of the first set of input images in the first image cluster. The computer system labels the first set of input images based on the plurality of cluster keywords and the plurality of keyword weights.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a storage device to receive, from a computing host, a request to append data to a data log. The storage device is further to identify a memory location after a last segment of the data log, append the data to the data log by writing the data to the memory location after the last segment of the data log, and provide, to the computing host, a key comprising an identification of the memory location at which the data was appended to the data log.

Abstract: A program different than an operation system may be utilized to partially update an original image of system code. In one embodiment, operating system code may be adaptively stored and updated within a non-volatile storage device across at least two different memories into at least two code objects based on the relative utilization of the system code in the two code objects. Operating system patching or application and driver updates may be provided without re-writing an entire image of operating system code in some embodiments. The tuning of operating system code storage may be implemented based on a usage pattern of the operating system code on a device in some cases.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dynamically creating and storing statically compiled native code from platform independent bytecodes such as may be found in a Java™ multi-media application is described. A method and apparatus may be utilized that may include receiving a compressed multi-media application, decompressing the multi-media application into bytecode, compiling and may include optimizing the bytecode, in some embodiments, into optimized native code, saved for future invocation. Additionally, security features may be provided to prevent the utilization of compressed multi-media code in some embodiments.
