  • Patent number: 11863207
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing dynamic dictionary-based compression and decompression are described herein. A computing device may receive, during a currently running session with a client device, a plurality of messages. The computing device may determine, based on the plurality of messages, one or more frames. The computing device may determine, based on the one or more frames, data samples. The computing device may compress the one or more frames based on a compression dictionary. The computing device may train, during the currently running session, the compression dictionary based on the determined data samples, to create a new compression dictionary. The computing device may determine, during the currently running session and based on receiving additional messages, one or more additional frames. In addition, the computing device may compress the one or more additional frames based on the new compression dictionary.

  • Publication number: 20230090130
    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for determining partitions and virtual processes in a simulation are presented. A plurality of partitions of a simulated world may be determined, and each partition may correspond to a different metric for entities in the simulated world. A plurality of virtual processes for the simulated world may also be determined. The system may assign a different virtual process to each partition. An indication of the partitions may be sent to one or more partition enforcer services, and an indication of the virtual processes may be sent to a virtual process manager.

  • Patent number: 10643010
    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for grouping bridges in a simulation are presented. In some examples, grouping bridges may result in more efficient usage of data connections in a simulation and less duplicative data being sent during the simulation. The simulation may be performed by receiving an indication of a streaming query for each worker of a plurality of workers in a worker layer. A plurality of bridges in a bridge layer may be run, and the plurality of bridges may be configured to facilitate data communications between the plurality of workers in the worker layer and one or more databases in a database layer. Each worker of the plurality of workers may be assigned to a different bridge of the plurality of bridges. Based on the streaming query for each worker, the plurality of bridges may be grouped into different groups of bridges.
