Abstract: Distributed execution of transactions may be performed across shards of a scalable database table. Instructions to perform as part of a transaction with respect to one or more database tables may be received. The instructions may be evaluated with respect to metadata obtained for the database tables to determine an assignment distribution of computing resources of the database system to data that can satisfy the access request. The commit protocol for the transaction may be determined according to the assignment distribution of the computing resources. After a request to commit the transaction is received, the transaction may be committed according to the determined commit protocol.

Abstract: Data-driven intelligent networking systems and methods are provided. The system can accommodate dynamic traffic with fast, effective per-flow credit-based flow control. The system can maintain state information of individual packet flows, which can be set up or released dynamically based on injected data. Each flow can be provided with a flow-specific input queue upon arriving at a switch. Packets of a respective flow can be acknowledged after reaching the egress point of the network, and the acknowledgement packets can be sent back to the ingress point of the flow along the same data path. As a result, each switch can obtain state information of each flow and perform flow control on a per-flow basis.

Abstract: A network interface controller (NIC) capable of efficient packet forwarding is provided. The NIC can be equipped with a host interface, a packet generation logic block, and a forwarding logic block. During operation, the packet generation logic block can obtain, via the host interface, a message from the host device and for a remote device. The packet generation logic block may generate a plurality of packets for the remote device from the message. The forwarding logic block can then send a first subset of packets of the plurality of packets based on ordered delivery. If a first condition is met, the forwarding logic block can send a second subset of packets of the plurality of packets based on unordered delivery. Furthermore, if a second condition is met, the forwarding logic block can send a third subset of packets of the plurality of packets based on ordered delivery.

Abstract: Methods for producing a hollow spheres, optionally with a vacuum inside, are disclosed. An example method includes providing a seed with a core and a coating. The seed is heated to a temperature sufficient to transform the coating into a continuous shell having an interior and an exterior. The shell isolates the core from the exterior of the shell. The temperature is also sufficient to cause a reaction with the materials of the core, and the reaction converts the core to a gas within said shell. Controlling the rate of heating and the pressure surrounding the shell allows the shell to expand responsive to gas pressure within the shell. Cooling the shell causes the gases within the shell to revert to a solid form, thereby creating a vacuum within the shell. Products incorporating the hollow spheres are also disclosed.
