Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for automated semantic tagging that include detecting a particular thread executed by a processor and identifying a root process of the particular thread. An object-process link may be by linking an object that executed code that called the particular thread to the root process. A thread list of thread definitions of the object may be identified. A particular thread definition that corresponds to the particular thread can be mapped. Resource types to be consumed upon executing an instance of the thread instantiated from the particular thread definition can be identified and the corresponding values of the resource types can be determined. A process specification can be generated that encapsulates the thread definition, resource types and values so as to reproduce a state of the root process at a point in which the particular thread executed.

Abstract: Methods and system are presented for monitoring database processes to generate machine learning predictions. A plurality of database processes executed on database implementations can be monitored, wherein the monitoring includes determining a start time, an end time, and a number of rows impacted by portions of the database processes, and the monitored database processes generate instances of machine learning data including at least the number of rows impacted and an associated duration of time. Using a machine learning component and the machine learning data, a duration of time can be predicted for a candidate database process for execution on a database implementation.

Abstract: Methods and structure are provided for “spoofing” an active connection between a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) initiator and a SAS target. The structure includes a SAS expander, comprising multiple physical links with associated transceivers (PHYs), switching hardware, a memory, and a control unit. Each PHY is operable to receive incoming Open Address Frames (OAFs) from SAS initiators that request connections with target devices. The switching hardware is operable to selectively link PHYs of the expander with each other to enable connections between initiators and target devices. The control unit is operable to determine that a connection requested by a received OAF cannot be completed, is operable to transmit an OPEN ACCEPT to the SAS initiator that transmitted the OAF responsive to making the determination, and is operable to store I/O received from the SAS initiator for the requested connection in the memory, responsive to transmitting the OPEN ACCEPT.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and processor-readable media are disclosed for detecting multiple expanders in a SAS topology having the same address. A root expander can be connected to a plurality of expanders, wherein one or more expanders among the plurality of expanders possesses a same SAS address as the root expander. The same SAS address can be identified and stored in a route table against a physical layer identifier through which the expander(s) communicate with the root expander in order to assist in identifying duplicate expanders in the SAS topology.

Abstract: Methods, systems and processor-readable media are disclosed for implementing a “smart” discovery process in a data transfer regime having one or more expanders and one or more initiators. Data traffic associated with such a discovery process can be reduced and one or more of the initiators can be prevented from blocking input/output to particular components in communication with the data transfer regime, thereby improving and completing the discovery process in an optimal time frame while enhancing the performance of the initiator(s).

Abstract: A SAS expander includes DMD timers for each PHY so that the expander can track disconnected devices directly connected to the expander and signal a SAS controller when the DMD is exceeded. A system including such SAS expanders may reduce the load on the system controller. A controller may recognize expanders capable of tracking DMDs for backwards compatibility.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for production of ethanol from lignocellulosic material. Lignocellulosic material treated with a dicarboxylic acid, preferably with oxalic acid, separating a hemicellulosic fraction to ferment pentose sugar. The lignin is dissolved in alkali, preferably with NaOH, separating a cellulose fraction for further enzymatic treatment with one or more than one cellulytic enzymes capable of hydrolyzing cellulose. The enzyme hydrolyasate is further subjected to fermentation in the presence of ethanol-producing yeast, preferably Sacchoromyces cerevisiae. The fermented broth is further subjected to distillation followed by dehydration to yield ethanol.
