Abstract: A system for an index search engine includes a first non-volatile memory having a set of partitions. One partition includes one search array file having one or more search array records. The system also includes a second non-volatile memory having an index structure. The index structure includes a four-memory level configuration. Each memory level has a specified memory length. An entry in each memory level of first three levels contains a value pointing to a starting address of immediate next memory level. An entry in the fourth memory level contains a data value including an indexed field value of one of the search array records.

Abstract: A system and method for producing a new globally-unique identifier (GUID) format that may be used, for instance, to uniquely identify a number of different items in a distributed computer system, such as transactions in an e-commerce system, sessions in a cloud-based computing system, and identifiers for unique customers in an ecommerce system, among others. The unique ID may have one of a number of different formats that may be generated upon receiving a request for an ID. For instance, the GUID may be generated in a plain hex format, a GUID format, ESS, and B64B (Base64Binaty) format. The new format may be generated based on information relating to a site ID, an absolute time, and a sequential counter, that ensures that no two GUIDs are the same. Further, the system may be capable of issuing multiple GUIDs within a single command, such as may be required to generate an array of GUIDs.

Abstract: In a computer network comprised of multiple nodes spread across different geographic locations and connected through a communication system, a Distributed Data Synchronizer (DDS) synchronizes files across the network so that user applications running at the various nodes can share common databases of information. In a preferred embodiment, rather than store master files at a server node, each node stores a master copy locally in a disk drive. When a user application modifies one of the local files, the DDS communicates the update to the appropriate remote nodes under the control of a user defined script file.
