  • Patent number: 10977280
    Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing memory in an interest-driven business intelligence system in accordance with embodiments of the invention are illustrated. A dictionary for storing values of a dataset may be partitioned in accordance with some embodiments. The partitions of the dictionary may be generated by mapping and reducer processes. The mapping processes receive a value, determine the dimension of the data to which the value belongs, and provides the value to a reducer process that handles the determined dimension. Each reducer process generates partitions of the dictionary for each dimension. The number of values in each partition is determined and compared to a threshold value. Partitions that have a number of values greater than the threshold are stored in a common memory. Partitions smaller than the threshold value can be combined with other partitions such that the cardinality of the combined partition exceeds the threshold value.

  • Patent number: 10817534
    Abstract: Systems and methods for interest-driven data visualization systems are illustrated. The system includes a processor and a memory configured to store an interest-driven data visualization application. The application configures the processor to obtain reporting data including a plurality of datasets from an interest-driven business intelligence server system; generate visualization rendering data for the datasets based on associations between visualization metadata and the datasets; and generate visualization image data based on the visualization rendering data. The visualization image data is displayable using and includes visual representations of at least a portion of the reporting data. Pieces of the visualization image data correspond to master and slave visualizations.
