  • Patent number: 11874836
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for configuring graph query parallelism for high system throughput. One example method includes receiving a query to be executed against a graph database. System properties are determined of a system in which the query is to be executed. Algorithmic properties are determined of at least one algorithm to be used to execute the query. Graph data statistics are determined for the graph database. Graph traversal estimations are determined for a first iteration of the graph query and an estimated cost model is determined for the first iteration based on the graph traversal estimations. Estimated thread boundaries are determined for performing parallel execution of the first iteration. Work packages of vertices to be processed during the execution of the first iteration are determined based on the first estimated cost model and the work packages are provided to a work package scheduler.

  • Publication number: 20230418869
    Abstract: A method may include receiving a workspace definition defining a graph workspace for a heterogeneous graph having a plurality of vertex tables and/or edge tables. Upon validating the workspace definition, the graph workspace for the heterogeneous graph may be created in accordance with the workspace definition. The graph workspace may include a label for each table of the plurality of vertex tables and/or edge tables comprising the heterogeneous graph. Each vertex and edge of the heterogeneous graph may be uniquely identified based on a label of a corresponding table and one or more key attributes. A graph processing algorithm operating on the heterogeneous graph may be executed based on the graph workspace. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.

    Abstract: An electric vehicle includes an electric drive device, first and second energy storage devices, and a bidirectional DC converter. The drive device, the DC converter, and the second energy storage device are connected to each other via a common intermediate circuit. The intermediate circuit includes an intermediate circuit voltage, the first energy storage device includes a storage voltage and is connected to the intermediate circuit via the DC converter. The drive device is supplied with drive energy by the first and/or second energy storage device. The intermediate circuit voltage is converted into the storage voltage in a first converter direction by the DC converter. The storage voltage is converted into the intermediate circuit voltage in a second converter direction by the DC converter. The first converter direction is activated when charging the second energy storage device and is deactivated when discharging the second energy storage device.

  • Publication number: 20230185714
    Abstract: A method may include accessing a cache storing a graph index corresponding to a graph data in response to a transaction operating on the graph data. A cache miss triggered by a change to the underlying graph data may be detected. In response to detecting the cache miss, the graph index may be updated by at least replaying or rewinding one or more other changes made to the graph data by one or more other transactions between a first time of the transaction and a second time of a current version of the graph index in the cache. The graph index may be updated to avoid a full rebuild of the graph index. The transaction may be executed based on the updated graph index. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.

  • Patent number: 10534575
    Abstract: A system, a method, and computer program product for performing buffering operations. A data update is received at a buffering location. The buffering location includes a first buffer portion and a second buffer portion. The data update includes an address tag. The buffering location is communicatively coupled to a memory location configured to receive the data update. A target address of the data update in the memory location is determined using the first buffer portion and compared to the address tag. The data update is applied using the first buffer portion to update data in the first buffer portion upon determination that the target address matches the address tag. The target address of the data update is pre-fetched from the memory location upon determination that the target address does not match the address tag. The first and second buffer portions buffer the data update using the pre-fetched target address.
