Abstract: Handling frequently accessed pages is disclosed. An indication is received of a stalling event caused by a requested portion of memory being inaccessible. It is determined that the requested portion of memory is a frequently updated portion of memory. The stalling event is handled based at least in part on the determination that the requested portion of memory is a frequently updated portion of memory.

Abstract: Hierarchical stalling strategies are disclosed. An indication is received of a stalling event caused by a requested resource being inaccessible. In response to receiving the indication of the stalling event, a set of cost functions usable to determine how to handle the stalling event is selected based at least in part on a type of the stalling event. The stalling event is handled based at least in part on an evaluation of the set of cost functions selected based at least in part on the type of the stalling event.

Abstract: Distributed I/O virtualization includes receiving, at a first physical node in a plurality of physical nodes, an indication of a request to transfer data from an I/O device on the first physical node to a set of guest physical addresses. An operating system is executing collectively across the plurality of physical nodes. It further includes writing data from the I/O device to one or more portions of physical memory local to the first physical node. It further includes mapping the set of guest physical addresses to the written one or more portions of physical memory local to the first physical node.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product provide the ability to connect online and offline activity. Advertisement delivery information is acquired. The advertisement delivery information includes an advertisement identification and a user identification identifying a user to which the advertisement was delivered. Beacon information is acquired. The beacon information includes a beacon identification and location. The beacon identification and the device identification are received from an application executing on a first device associated with the user. The application receives the low energy signal from the beacon identified by the beacon identification. Based on the advertisement delivery information, beacon identification, and device identification, conversion of the advertisement is directly attributed. Conversion information based on the conversion is then provided.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for transferring a received media object to remote devices in accordance to attributes in a user profile. The profile information additionally determinates the versions of the media object that are available to such remote devices and whether the media object may be stored in such remote devices.

Abstract: In a television system in which at least program title information for programs which are to be transmitted in the future is transmitted in advance to form a channel guide listing, apparatus is provided for searching the listing for specific user-entered information, and upon successful conclusion to the search, the apparatus schedules the tuning of the desired program, or in the alternative, notifies the viewer of the availability of the program. In those instances where descriptive text accompanies the program listing, apparatus of the invention performs a search of the text for a particular text string which may relate to the title, the star, the director, or the context of the program, among other search criteria.

Abstract: An enhanced electronic program guide (EPG) capable of displaying DBS program information and NTSC program information seamlessly and in real-time on a display device is accomplished, in one form, by a wide-band data link between a DBS receiver adapted to receive a DBS broadcast data stream and an internet set-top unit, the internet set-top unit adapted to receive NTSC audio/video signals and internet data/information. In another form, the DBS receiver is controlled by the internet set-top box. Supplemental information transmittable on the DBS data stream may also be displayed on the display device.
