Abstract: A computer system includes physical memory devices of different types that store randomly-accessible data in a main memory of the computer system. In one approach, an operating system allocates memory from a namespace for use by an application. The namespace is a logical reference to physical memory devices in which physical addresses are defined. The namespace is bound to a memory type. In response to binding the namespace to the memory type, the operating system adjusts a page table to map a logical memory address in the namespace to a memory device of the memory type.

Abstract: An adder for fractional logarithmic number system (FLNS) format operands includes a compare-and-swap circuit that inputs first and second FLNS operands represented by fixed point values and provides a greater one as operand x and a lesser or equal one as operand y. Sign bits are sx and sy of x and y, respectively, qx and qy, are integer portions of x and y, respectively, fraction portions of x and y have integer values rx and ry, respectively. The compare-and-swap circuit is configured to provide sx as a sign bit, sz of a sum z=x(1+y/x) for x?0. A subtraction circuit subtracts (qy+ry/n)?(qx+rx/n) and outputs q? and r?, such that ?=y/x, where n=2wr and wr is a bit-width of rx and ry. An approximation circuit provides an approximation of (1+?) to a nearest FLNS value, ?, as fixed point value having an integer portion q? and a fraction portion that has an integer value r?.

Abstract: A computer system is configured to receiving a data set from a data provider and automatically save the data set in a quarantine database where copying, moving, and sharing of the data set are restricted until the data set is released by a data provider. The data set is parsed to find and mark portions with potentially sensitive information. At least those parts are reviewed by a data governor, who can confirm, add, edit, or remove markers. Those parts can be visually indicated to the data governor, along with a preview of, metadata about, and analysis of the data set. After reviewing at least the automatically marked portions, the data governor can release the data set to a non-quarantine database where another user can use the data set. The user is restricted from accessing the quarantine database.

Information of an application may be processed to extract entity data that corresponds to a plurality of candidates to be designated as tastes (taste data). The candidates for the tastes are curated. In examples, the curating comprises filtering the candidates for tastes to remove extracted candidates. Extraction rules for managing structured taste data may be applied in the filtering. A status of a remaining candidate may be determined as approved or rejected based on processing of received user feedback. Taste data may be generated for an approved candidate.
