  • Publication number: 20100169302
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for grouping of database object access counts per processing module in a parallel processing system are provided. Each processing module manages an intermediate cache allocated thereto that stores database object access counts local to the respective processing module. The processing modules are configured in a hierarchical configuration and processing modules at the lowest level of the configuration forward their respective intermediate cache to a processing module configured as a parent to the respective processing module. On receipt of intermediate cache(s) from lower level processing modules, a processing module merges the received intermediate caches with the intermediate cache allocated to the processing module. The process is iteratively repeated until a root processing module receives the intermediate caches from processing modules configured as child nodes thereto.

  • Publication number: 20090281167
    Abstract: The present invention concerns methods and compositions for diagnosing and/or treating vascular diseases including cancer, cardiac diseases, vascular diseases of the eye, and inflammatory diseases. The methods involve measuring the levels of one or multiple miRNAs in patient samples and using the test results to diagnose and/or predict an optimal treatment regimen for the patient. Compositions described in the invention include nucleic acids that function as miRNAs or miRNA inhibitors that can be introduced to a patient to reduce or increase vascularization as needed.
