Publication number: 20240303659Abstract: A deterministic concurrency control protocol for a blockchain is described. A set of transactions of the blockchain are received at a node. A simulation step and a commit step are performed to process the transactions. A dependency graph is generated comprising the set of transactions and a set of dependencies between the set of transactions, the set of dependencies including one or more read-write dependencies. A backward dangerous structure is identified in the dependency graph. The backward dangerous structure includes a first read-write dependency from a second transaction to a first transaction, and a second read-write dependency from a third transaction to the second transaction. A transaction is aborted based on the identified backward dangerous structure. Each non-aborted transaction is committed. Steps for update reordering, update coalescence, and inter-block parallelism are described.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2023Publication date: September 12, 2024Applicant: Centre for Perceptual and Interactive Intelligence (CPII) LimitedInventors: Ziliang LAI, Chris LIU, Eric LO

Patent number: 11978091Abstract: The technology generally relates to automatically associating products and services to be advertised in response to a search query and providing sponsored advertisements for output with the search query results on a publisher's website or mobile application. An ad advertiser may create an ad campaign for products without including or identifying keywords associated with the product. Upon receiving a request for an advertisement, an ad server may generate synonyms, or keywords, for the terms in the request. The ad server generated keywords may be used to identify available products that match, or are relevant to, the search query. The ad server may determine a quality of the match and, based on the quality, determine which products are most relevant to the search query. The ad server may solicit bids from the advertisers of the relevant ad campaigns. The winning ads may be returned to the publisher for output.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Alok Anilkumar Sheth, Enoch Chee-Lok Lau, Brett Alexander Benowitz, Dharma Muppalla, Noah Ronald Freeman, Eric Lo
