  • Patent number: 11182406
    Abstract: A data-replication system replicates a source database to a target database by first intelligently identifying and prioritizing a set of hot queries that have each in the past been submitted to the source database at a rate exceeding a threshold submission rate. Any previously replicated content contained in a database table accessed by a hot query is copied to a set of memory-resident blocks. The blocks are then updated with incremental changes made to the table's contents since the most-recent previous replication. Each updated block is copied to the target database in order of the priority of the block's corresponding hot query. When all blocks that contain data of a particular table have been copied into the target database, that table becomes available to users of the target database despite the fact that the entire database has not yet been fully replicated.

  • Publication number: 20210350056
    Abstract: One embodiment described herein provides a system and method for simulating behavior of a quantum circuit that includes a plurality of quantum gates. During operation, the system receives information that represents the quantum circuit and constructs an undirected graph corresponding to the quantum circuit. A respective vertex within the undirected graph corresponds to a distinct variable in a Feynman path integral used for computing amplitude of the quantum circuit, and a respective edge corresponds to one or more quantum gates. The system identifies a vertex within the undirected graph that is coupled to at least two two-qubit quantum gates; simplifies the undirected graph by removing the identified vertex, thereby effectively removing the two-qubit quantum gates coupled to the identified vertex; and evaluates the simplified undirected graph, thereby facilitating simulation of the behavior of the quantum circuit.
