Abstract: Presented herein are methods of replicating versioned and hierarchical data structures, as well as data structures representing complex transactions. Due to interdependencies between data entities and a lack of guaranteed message ordering, simple replication methods employed for simple data types cannot be used. Operations on data structures exhibit dependencies between the messages making up the operations. This strategy can be extended to various types of complex transactions by considering certain messages to depend on other messages or on the existence of other entries at the data store. Regardless of origin, these dependencies can be enforced by suspending the processing of messages with unsatisfied dependencies until all of its dependencies have been met. Alternately, transactions can be committed immediately, creating entities that include versioned identifiers for each of their dependencies. These entities can then be garbage collected of the parent objects are not subsequently created.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided that enable immediate access to data associated with a source blob. The foregoing is achieved by creating a copy-on-read blob based on the source blob and a link blob based on the copy-on-read blob for each virtual machine to be deployed. When creating the copy-on-read blob, the source blob is not copied. Instead, data from the source blob is copied to the copy-on-read blob upon request by a virtual machine. Subsequent requests for that data are retrieved from the copy-on-read blob. Each link blob stores write data provided by its corresponding virtual machine. When a virtual machine requests data, its corresponding link blob is checked for the data. If the data is not stored therein, the copy-on-read blob is checked for the data. If the copy-on-read blob does not store the data, the data is retrieved from the source blob.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and computer storage media for geographically organizing the storage of data and hosted services in a distributed computing environment. An allocation constraint is utilized to identify and select a geo-region in which an affinity group that is comprised of a hosted service and/or data is to be physically stored. Additionally, a geo-domain within the geo-region is identified for hosting the hosted service and/or data of the affinity group. A stamp, such as a storage stamp or a computation stamp, is identified on the geo-domain for storing the hosted service and/or the data. The hosted service is stored in an identified computation stamp and the data is stored in an identified storage stamp. In an additional exemplary embodiment, the identification of a geo-domain involves analyzing resource information related to potential geo-domains within a geo-region.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a method to collect aggregate information or usage data quickly and efficiently with minimal lag. Additionally, the system can use this aggregate information internally for improved load balancing, better data placement, optimization, and enhanced debugging. The system can quickly look at aggregate information across a huge amount of data and drill down cheaply because the aggregate information is generated using existing processes. Aggregated statistics storage and collection may be built on top of an LSM tree used to store a persistent index for a cloud storage system. The statistics may also represent the result of an operation (e.g., max, min, sum, average) on selected parameter(s) or attribute(s) of stored data. Aggregate statistics values may be efficiently maintained during index merge and garbage collection processes or any other index management. As delta LSM trees are merged into a base LSM tree, the aggregates are updated in delta fashion.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that enable a general framework for partitioning application-defined computations (e.g., jobs) in a scalable environment. The general framework decouples partitioning of a computation from the other aspects of the computation. As a result, the effort required to define an application-defined job is reduced or minimized, as the user is not required to provide a partitioning algorithm. A user can optionally take advantage of a partitioning framework by providing application-defined interfaces to perform the desired job. Optionally, a user can provide additional information to allow for modification of how partitions are assigned.

Abstract: An SEM image is acquired. The SEM image shows a metal line and a via hole disposed above the metal line. The via hole exposes a portion of the metal line vertically aligned with the via hole. A first portion and a second portion of the via hole are each vertically not aligned with the metal line and are disposed on opposite sides of the metal line. The acquired SEM image is processed to enhance a contrast between the first and second portions and their surrounding areas. A first dimension of the first portion and a second dimension of the second portion of the via hole are measured in a first direction. The first direction is different from a second direction along which the metal line extends. An overlay between the via hole and the metal line is determined based on the first dimension and the second dimension.
