Abstract: A method and apparatus for checking the correctness of GIS data. The method includes the steps of: receiving GIS data; receiving business data of each branch; determining the geographic area to which each branch belongs, wherein the GIS data in the geographic area will be checked; and, checking whether the GIS data of the geographic area to which each branch belongs are correct based on the business data of each branch. The method and apparatus can automatically check geographic and demographic data of a given city or region.

Abstract: A method for performing rapid memory management unit emulation of a computer program in a computer system, wherein address injection space of predefined size is allocated in the computer system and a virtual page number and a corresponding physical page number are stored in said address injection space, said method comprising steps of: comparing the virtual page number of the virtual address of a load/store instruction in a code segment in said computer program with the virtual address page number stored in said address injection space; if the two virtual page numbers are the same, then obtaining the corresponding physical address according to the physical page number stored in said address injection space; otherwise, performing address translation lookaside buffer search, that is, TLB search to obtain the corresponding physical address; and reading/writing data from/to said obtained corresponding physical address.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of recognizing a process in a full-system Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) emulator, comprising the steps of: recognizing a process based on a base address of a page table thereof, recognizing the switch between the processes when said base address of the page table has changed, recognizing the termination of a recorded process when the base address of the page table of the process which tries to modify the page table is not equal to the base address of the page table of the recorded process in the page table. With the recognized process, the binary translation results indexed based on content can be saved into a corresponding process repository, thereby achieving the permanent saving of the translation results and the reuse of translation and optimization on the basis of a previously executed program. Consequently, the overall performance of the full-system Industry Standard Architecture emulator is enhanced.

Abstract: A method for managing data is provided which includes monitoring an activity profile for a given row of a database and determining a target database for a given row based on the activity profile of the given row. The method further includes identifying any row related to the given row and moving the given row and any row related to the given row into the target database while preserving referential integrity.

Abstract: A method for reorganizing data in a storage device for improved performance is provided where the device stores data as data units each associated with a sequential address. The method for reorganizing data includes allocating a reorganization region capable of storing N units and grouping the data units into a plurality of extents each having a generally large number of units. The method further includes sorting the extents based on the frequency of request of the units in the extents and copying N most frequently requested units from the sorted extents into the reorganization region while preserving the order of the sorted extents and the order of the sequential addresses of the units in each extent. The method also includes servicing requests for data using data in the reorganization region.

Abstract: A cost-adaptive cache including the ability to dynamically maximize performance in a caching system by preferentially caching data according to the cost of replacing data. The cost adaptive cache includes a partitioned real cache, wherein data is stored in each of the real cache partitions according to its replacement cost. Also, the cost-adaptive cache includes a partitioned phantom cache to provide a directory of information pertaining to blocks of data which do not qualify for inclusion in the real cache. The partitions in the phantom cache correspond to the partitions in the real cache. Moreover, the cost-adaptive cache maximizes performance in a system by preferentially caching data that is more costly to replace. In one embodiment of the system, the cost of replacing a block of data is estimated by the previous cost incurred to fetch that block of data.
