Abstract: A cloud-based server executes instances of a browser application responsive to requests from a plurality of user devices. The server interprets embedded code in a web document retrieved by a given browsing instance, and stores an intermediate representation of the embedded code in the web document in a dedicated memory resource associated with the given browsing instance. The server also stores the intermediate representation of an external file referenced by the web document in a shared memory resource such that the intermediate representation is accessible to the other browsing instances of the other user devices.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) slurry composition that provides for a high metal to dielectric material selectivity along with a low rate of metal recess formation. In some embodiments, the disclosed slurry composition has an oxidant and an etching inhibitor. The oxidant has a compound with one or more oxygen molecules. The etching inhibitor has a nitrogen-oxide compound. The etching inhibitor reduces the rate of metal and dielectric material (e.g., oxide) removal, but does so in a manner that reduces the rate of dielectric material removal by a larger amount, so as to provide the slurry composition with a high metal (e.g., germanium) to dielectric material removal selectivity and with a low rate of metal recess formation.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for congestion signaling for MPLS networks have been disclosed. A method for use by a transit node on a LSP within an MPLS network comprises: generating a congestion notification in response to a congestion occurring during transmission of packets; and transmitting the congestion notification to an egress node on the LSP. Further, a method for use by an egress node on a LSP within an MPLS network comprises: obtaining a congestion notification, wherein the congestion occurs during transmission of packets; and handling the congestion notification. Thus, a congestion signaling mechanism in MPLS networks are introduced.

A processed dataflow program is produced comprising processed dataflow program instructions and decision point program instructions. The processed dataflow program instructions comprise alternative sequences of reformulated actions that achieve greater execution parallelism while maintaining the same functionality as the identified one or more original sequences. The decision point program instructions direct processing equipment to select and execute one or more of the alternative sequences of reformulated actions, wherein selection is based on state and token information in existence at the time of selection.
