Abstract: The video recommendation system provided with an on-line connection system generates on-line video recommendations using collaborative filtering for clusters of member profiles. The recommendation system clusters member profiles using member profile information as clustering criteria. The video recommendations are then generated for a given cluster, based on aggregation of video viewing history recorded for the member profiles that are in the given cluster, using the video similarity matrix. In order to produce video recommendations for a particular member profile, the recommendation system first determines cluster membership for the member profile, retrieves recommendations generated for that cluster, and provides recommendations to the associated member. A user interface including references to one or more recommended videos is rendered on a display device of a viewer.

Abstract: Methods and systems for backing up data to a target device are described. According to some embodiments, the method receives a first set of data packets for backup, where the first set of data packets includes a multiplicity of data chunks. The method further captures footprints of the first set of data packets in a cache disk array. In response to receiving an acknowledgement from the cache disk array indicating the footprints have been captured, the method further initiates a write operation to write each data chunk of the first set of data packets to the target device. In response to receiving an acknowledgement indicating the data chunk is successfully written, the method further flushes the respective footprint of the data chunk from the cache disk array.

Abstract: Embodiments are described for performing an uninterrupted restore in a storage system in view of one or more abort events. A restore agent receives writes one or more data blocks to a conditional construction container. A parent interrupt service routine (ISR) polls for abort events. In response to an abort event, an intermediate interrupt is generated that spawns a child processes for each process of the restore. The intermediate ISR logs each child ISR, the process it is responsible for, and the intermediate interrupt, for later restoration of the restore state. After a recovery of the above event, then each child ISR can be called to restore its state. After restoring the state, the restore agent resumes the restore from where the abort event was detected. The child ISRs are re-entrant. If another abort event is detected, the restore state can again be saved and later resumed from that state.

Abstract: Embodiments are described for performing an uninterrupted backup in a storage system in view of one or more abort events. A backup agent receives writes one or more data blocks to a write latch. A parent interrupt service routine (ISR) polls for abort events. In response to an abort event, an intermediate interrupt is generated that spawns a child processes for each process of the backup. The intermediate ISR logs each child ISR, the process it is responsible for, and the intermediate interrupt, for later restoration of the backup state. After a recovery of the above event, then each child ISR can be called to restore its state. After restoring the state, the backup agent resumes the backup from where the abort event was detected. The child ISRs are re-entrant. If another abort event is detected, the backup state can again be saved and later resumed from that state.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a timestamp based display update mechanism. A display control unit includes a timestamp queue for storing timestamps, wherein each timestamp indicates when a corresponding frame configuration set should be fetched from memory. At pre-defined intervals, the display control unit may compare the timestamp of the topmost entry of the timestamp queue to a global timer value. If the timestamp is earlier than the global timer value, the display control unit may pop the timestamp entry and fetch the frame next configuration set from memory. The display control unit may then apply the updates of the frame configuration set to its pixel processing elements. After applying the updates, the display control unit may fetch and process the source pixel data and then drive the pixels of the next frame to the display.
