Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for creating a virtual collaborative space within an intelligent workflow framework. One or more processors of a computer system identify the need for a virtual collaborative space where human interactions can occur to test or optimize the existing workflow and identify triggers for when the virtual collaborative space shall be initiated based on historical learning models trained from instrumentation data generated by the workflow.

Abstract: Disclosed are surface retarder composition and method for etching cementitious materials which achieve a desirable light “acid etch” look without using muriatic (hydrochloric) acid or sand blasting, removing the human health and environmental concerns. Formulations in accordance with embodiments disclosed herein are easier to remove from formwork or molds after demolding than conventional retarder paints. Surface retarders prevent the hydration of cement particles, which allows the uncured layer of paste next to the form to be removed such as by washing with water or other fluids, or by brushing, revealing aggregates. Also disclosed are molded cement and concrete materials or articles exhibiting such light etch.

Abstract: A system receives a logic design of a circuit of an integrated circuit and apply a reduced synthesis process to the logical design of the integrated circuit. The reduced synthesis process is less computation intensive compared to the optimized digital implementation synthesis process and generates a netlist having suboptimal delay. The system provides the generated netlist as input to a timing analysis that alters the standard delay computation (through scaling and other means) to predict the timing of a fully optimized netlist. The reduced synthesis process has faster execution time compared to the optimized digital implementation synthesis process but results in comparable performance, power and area that is within a threshold of the results generated using optimized digital implementation synthesis process.

Abstract: An access service is positioned between a set of container groups and a SQL database service. Upon receipt, at the access service, of a REST request from any container group indicating that a SQL transaction should be started, an entry is created in a staging database, separate from the SQL database service, to track the SQL transaction. Multiple connections are allowed to be established from the container groups to the access service over which other REST requests from any container group are sent. The other REST requests include details of SQL operations to be performed as part of the SQL transaction. The details are cached in the staging database. Upon receiving a REST request from any container group indicating that the SQL transaction should be committed, a single connection is established between the access service and SQL database service to commit the transaction, including the details, as an atomic transaction.
