Abstract: Techniques are described that enable an IT and security operations application to prioritize the processing of selected events for a defined period of time. Data is obtained reflecting activity within an IT environment, wherein the data includes a plurality of events each representing an occurrence of activity within the IT environment. A severity level is assigned to each event of the plurality of events, where the events are processed by the IT and security operations application in an order that is based at least in part on the severity level assigned to each event. Input is received identifying at least one event of the plurality of events for expedited processing to obtain a set of expedited events, and the identified events are processed by the IT and security operations application before processing events that are not in the set of expedited events.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a data recovery system sorts data elements of a data array by representation. The data recovery system allocates a representation array corresponding to a position of a corresponding data array element after sorting. A scan module of the data recovery system assigns index values to the representation elements of the representation array based on the values of the data elements of the data array without moving the data elements of the data array. A sort module of the data recovery system swaps the data elements of the data array based on the index values of the representation elements of the representation array corresponding to the data elements. The sort module swaps representation elements of the representation array corresponding to the swapped data elements of the data array.
