Abstract: Systems and methods for configuring applications and resources on distributed nodes or machines are disclosed. A node exposes a synchronization resource that corresponds to a desired state on a remote resource. The node evaluates a state of the remote resource. A test function may be defined to check whether the remote resource is in the desired state. A set function may also be defined to set a state of the synchronization resource when the remote resource is in the desired state. The node configures the synchronization resource when the remote resource is in the desired state. The synchronization resource may be configured, for example, using a resource provider. The node may evaluate the states of a plurality remote resources. The synchronization resource may be configured when one or more of the remote resources are in the desired state or when all of the remote resources are in the desired state.

Abstract: A method for scheduling the execution of a computer instruction, receive an entitlement processor resource percentage for a logical partition on a computer system. The logical partition is associated with a hardware thread of a processor of the computer system. The entitlement processor resource percentage for the logical partition is stored in a register of the hardware thread associated with the logical partition. An instruction is received from the logical partition of the computer system and the processor dispatches the instruction based on the entitlement processor resource percentage stored in the register of the hardware thread associated with the logical partition.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating answers to answer-seeking queries. One of the methods includes receiving a query having multiple terms. The query is classified as an answer-seeking query of a particular question type, and one or more answer types associated with the particular question type are obtained. Search results satisfying the query are obtained, and a respective score is computed for each of one or more passages of text occurring in each document identified by the search results, wherein the score for each passage of text is based on how many of the one or more answer types match the passage of text. A presentation that includes information from one or more of the passages of text selected based on the respective score is provided in response to the query.

Abstract: A source synchronous data transmission system includes a data transmitting device and a data receiving device. A dedicated data line carries a data signal from the data transmission device to the data receiving device. A dedicated clock line carries a modulated clock signal from the data transmission device to the data receiving device. The data transmission device includes a clock data driver configured to encode data into the modulated clock signal by modulating an amplitude of the modulated clock signal. Thus, the clock line of the source synchronous data transmission system carries the clock signal and additional data.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to identifying a query template that includes one or more terms and a member of an entity category and ranking the query template. Query suggestions may be determined based on the query template. The ranking of the query template may be utilized to determine if the query template is a valid query template. The ranking of the template may be based on at least a count of occurrences of one or more of the entities of the entity category in past queries that conform to the query template.

Abstract: A method for enabling user-customization of a controller design for simulation comprises accessing at least one library of individual simulation component models for controller components. The method further comprises receiving information describing an architecture of a customized controller design corresponding to a controller that controls communications between other parts of a first target system. The method additionally comprises generating a controller simulation model for the customized controller design based on the first architectural information, the controller simulation model including instances of a plurality of the simulation component models.

Abstract: A method of dividing a clock signal by an input signal of N bits with M most significant bits is described herein. The method includes dividing the clock signal by the most significant bits of the input signal 2N-M?1 times out of 2N-M divisions of the clock signal, using a divider. The clock signal is divided by a sum of the most significant bits and the least significant bits one time out of 2N-M divisions of the clock signal, using the divider. The clock signal is also divided by 2N-M, 2N-M times, using the divider.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more server computers communicatively coupled to a network and configured to: receive a request for the change key from a registrant of the domain name; generate the change key comprising a random string not stored on the server computer; identify the timeout period within the database; transmit the change key to: a contact for the registrant; and a domain name registry; determine whether the change key is received by the server computer during the timeout period; and if so, update the domain name.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more server computers communicatively coupled to a network and configured to: receive a request for the change key; generate the change key; separate the change key into a plurality of divisions; transmit each of the plurality of divisions to a designated contact; determine whether the plurality of divisions is received by the server computer; and if so, combine the plurality of divisions into the change key; and update the domain name.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present invention provide for one or more server computers configured to: receive data encoding an update to a configuration setting in a DNS and an indication of an event deferring the update. After receiving the data and indication, the server(s) may: download, from a DNS server, a zone file comprising the configuration setting; modify the zone file using the update to generate a modified zone file comprising the update; determine, in accordance with the indication, whether the event has occurred; and if so, cause the DNS server to modify the zone file comprising the configuration setting in accordance with the modified zone file.

Abstract: An XML document can be represented in a compact binary form that maintains all of the features of XML data in a useable form. In response to a request for a modification (e.g., insert, delete or update a node) to an XML document that is stored in the compact binary form, a certain representation of the requested modification is computed for application directly to the binary form of the document. Thus, the requested modification is applied directly to the persistently stored binary form without constructing an object tree or materializing the XML document into a corresponding textual form. Taking into account the nature of the binary form in which the document is encoded, the bytes that actually require change are identified, including identifying where in the binary representation the corresponding actual changes need to be made.
