Abstract: One or more systems and/or methods for product similarity detection and recommendation are provided. Users may view articles and/or other content that includes images depicting products that may be of interest to the users. These images are processed using image processing functionality such as computer vision to identify the products depicted by the images. A vector embedding model is used to generate product vector representations of the products. Catalog items that are available from a catalog to supplement the articles and other content may be processed to generate catalog item vector representations. When content (an article) with an image depicting a product is to be displayed to the user, similarity between a product vector representation of the product and the catalog item vector representations is determined in order to identify and display catalog items depicting products that are similar to the product depicted by the image in the content.

Abstract: During a memory reallocation process, it is determined that a set of memory pages being reallocated are each enabled for a Direct Memory Access (DMA) operation. Prior to writing initial data to the set of memory pages, a pre-access delay is performed concurrently for each memory page in the set of memory pages.

Abstract: A computer implemented method includes obtaining voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication quality data for a communication associated with a user device communicating via an access point. The communication is associated with quality data. For each communication, the quality data is segmented into a plurality of segments each corresponding to a respective segment of the communication. For each segment, the method includes determining a score for the segment indicative of an evaluation of an overall quality of the segment, and associating the score with the user device and the access point. The method also includes determining a performance for the user device user device and for the access point based on the scores associated with the user device and the access point.

Abstract: A system and method tests computer software using tracking bits in branch instructions to track portions of the software that have been tested. The tracking bits are bits of a branch programming instruction and may be repurposed hint bits used in the prior art to control pre-fetch of instructions. A branch tracking unit sets bits in a branch instruction of an application or program being tested. The branch tracing unit sets a first bit if a branch is taken and sets a second tracking bit if the branch is not taken. The modified program instructions can be analyzed after running the test inputs to determine if any branches in the software have not been exercised by the test inputs.

Abstract: Sharing read-only data among virtual machines (VM) using an attached coherent accelerator processor interface (CAPI) enabled flash storage (CeFS) is provided. The method includes mapping a file, by a virtual machine monitor, from the CeFS into a range of common memory in the virtual machine monitor. The VM shares the mapped file with at least one other VM at a range of common memory in their address spaces. A redirect-on-write filesystem (RoWFS) is created on the VM and the at least one other VM, whereby the RoWFS includes a read-only copy and a private copy of a linear memory map of the mapped file. A data page is read using the copy of the linear memory map, and the data page is modified using the private copy of the linear memory map.

Abstract: Representative embodiments disclose mechanisms to route electronic communications for supervisory review. Users of a messaging system are assigned appropriate permissions to create and manage supervisory review policies, access supervisory review mailboxes to perform supervisory review actions, run reports and other activities associated with supervisory review. Supervisory review policies are pushed out to a supervisory review agent through a policy sync service and the supervisory review agent tests incoming and outgoing messages against the policy. Each policy selects electronic communications and routes the communication to an associated supervisory review mailbox or folder. Additional assistants can receive other electronic communications (social media, chat, voicemail, etc.) and route them to the supervisory review mailbox if the communication meets one or more policies.

Abstract: A method for setting a compression ratio for utilizing a compressed memory pool (which is backed by pinned memory) by a virtual memory manager (VMM). Compression of pages of corresponding segments can be tracked as part of a VMM paging algorithm that compresses pages to store in a compressed memory pool. A segment having pages with an average compression ratio below a threshold is identified. The identified segment pages are prevented from utilizing the compressed memory pool resulting in optimizing the use of the compressed memory pool.

Abstract: A compliant auditing architecture is implemented such that a uniform experience of collecting, storing, and interacting with audit data may be provided for various compliance scenarios. A user action to be audited may be detected through a user interface of an auditing application, and a protocol service of the application may generate an audit event corresponding to the user action. The protocol service may transmit audit data associated with the audit event to a local queue of a datacenter for short-term storage, and an upload service hosted by the datacenter may upload the audit data from the local queue, and transmit the audit data to a data store for long-term storage. In response to a request from an administrator, the stored audit data may be converted to a format compatible with one or more compliance interfaces, and transmitted to the administrator through the interfaces for querying and/or reporting.

Abstract: Apparatus, method and program product for relocating Bad Block Relocation Directory (BBRD) on a disk storage pre-allocate a number of areas for BBRD in different locations of the disk storage. The locations for the BBRD are calculated based upon the size of the disk and BBRD count. If the update of BBRD fails due to defective media at the location to be updated, that location is abandon and the next pre-allocated location is used. A copy of the BBRD is stored in RAM and maintained by the kernel. By so doing, when a bad block in the BBRD is detected the kernel causes the BBRD to be written in a good one of the locations reserved for BBRD. When the number of alternate BBRD locations used hits a pre-defined threshold, this indicates a situation where many sections of the disk are going bad and the disk needs replacement. If all BBRD locations are used, the disk is presumed bad and all future I/O activities to the disk is suspended.
