  • Publication number: 20190057158
    Abstract: A personalization system includes a user events module configured to receive a plurality of user events, each user event of the plurality of user events including one or more of a transactional event and a behavioral event associated with the online user, and a personalization cluster including a plurality of personalization servers, each personalization server of the plurality of personalization servers configured to receive a personalization request from a requesting system, the personalization request including a plurality of intermediate results identified by the requesting system, each intermediate result representing a possible outcome that may be presented by the requesting system to the online user, compute a score for each intermediate result of the plurality of immediate results based at least in part on the plurality of user events, thereby generating a plurality of scores, and return the plurality of scores to the requesting system.

  • Patent number: 10180896
    Abstract: A system and method of debugging a multi-threaded process with at least one running thread and at least one suspended thread is disclosed. Embodiments utilize a blocking function to block the thread of a process while other threads are allowed to run. The blocking function may be executed in a suspended thread by a debugger under control of a thread blocking controller. The other threads may implement interprocess communication channels for enabling communication between the process and another application. A simulated user interface (UI) of a debugger enables interaction with users while a hardware simulation thread is blocked, where blocking of the hardware simulation thread may be implemented by a thread blocking component implemented externally to the debugger. Where a thread blocking controller is implemented within the debugger, a debugger UI may interact with a user while the hardware simulation thread is blocked and interprocess communication threads are running.
