  • Patent number: 11847107
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to the distribution of database key permissions. A database system may distribute first permission information to a plurality of database nodes that identifies a distribution of key range permissions to ones of the plurality of database nodes. A given key range permission being distributed to a given database node may permit that database node to write records whose keys fall within a key range associated with the given key range permission. The database system may receive, from a first database node, a request for a first key range permission provisioned to a second database node. The database system may modify the first permission information to derive second permission information that provisions the first key range permission to the first database node instead of the second database node. The database system may distribute the second permission information to ones of the plurality of database nodes.

  • Publication number: 20230393999
    Abstract: Concurrent servicing of a first cable of a cable pair while a second cable of the cable pair remains operational improves multi-processor computer system availability and serviceability. A pair of processing chips in different processing drawers may continue operation by way of the second cable while the first cable is degraded or serviced. Upon the servicing of the first cable, the serviced cable may transition to a fully operational state with no interruptions to the operations between the processing drawers by way of the second cable. Since cable faults are typically more common than processing chip or processing drawer faults, identification of cable faults and the ability to maintain operations of the processing drawers connected therewith is increasingly important.

  • Patent number: 11769167
    Abstract: Disclosed is a dynamic price orchestration platform (“DPOP”) that creates dynamic item pricing for different users based on user profile data that is specific to each user, and pricing rules that specify different formulas and use different user profile data for the custom price computation for each item. The DPOP receives a request with an item identifier with a device identifier, obtains a user profile that is associated with the device identifier and that contains the user-specific data, and selects a pricing rule defined for the item identifier. The DPOP generates a dynamic price at which the particular item is offered to the user associated with the device identified by the device identifier based on the user profile data specified in pricing rule being provided as input to the pricing rule. The DPOP then adjusts the particular item price at a point-of-sale to the dynamic price.
