  • Publication number: 20230098227
    Abstract: A system performs a distributed version control on a data lake. A change to the data lake can be performed within a single atomic commit that defines a set of changes. Commits are built on top of each other and describe incremental changes, which creates a sequence of atomic commits that defines a history of changes. The commits can be identified by hash values, and branches can be defined to refer to commits. A new commit updates a branch head reference to the new commit so that the branch head always refers to the latest version of a chain of commits in the branch. The system can create tags that define, for example, a release version and can merge source commits onto target commits including merging the head of one branch onto the head of another branch.

  • Patent number: 5842031
    Abstract: A computer system having a plurality of processors and memory including a plurality of scalable nodes having multiple like processor memory elements. Each of the processor memory elements has a plurality of communication paths for communication within a node to other like processor memory elements within the node. Each of the processor memory elements also has a communication path for communication external to the node to another like scalable node of the computer system.

  • Patent number: 5734921
    Abstract: A parallel array processor for massively parallel applications is formed with low power CMOS with DRAM processing while incorporating processing elements on a single chip. Eight processors on a single chip have their own associated processing element, significant memory, and I/O and are interconnected with a hypercube based, but modified, topology. These nodes are then interconnected, either by a hypercube, modified hypercube, or ring, or ring within ring network topology. Conventional microprocessor MMPs consume pins and time going to memory. The new architecture merges processor and memory with multiple PMEs (eight 16 bit processors with 32 K and I/O) in DRAM and has no memory access delays and uses all the pins for networking. The chip can be a single node of a fine-grained parallel processor. Each chip will have eight 16 bit processors, each processor providing 5 MIPs performance. I/O has three internal ports and one external port shared by the plural processors on the chip.
