  • Publication number: 20180081925
    Abstract: In an approach for calculating a probability of a consistency violation of a transaction in a database management system, a processor receives a plurality of transactions within a predetermined time period. A processor identifies a first pattern in a first transaction of the plurality of transactions based on at least an isolation level of the transaction. A processor identifies a second pattern, wherein the second pattern is the cooperation between the first transaction and the second transaction. A processor determines that the first pattern of the first transaction substantially matches a preexisting pattern, wherein the preexisting pattern corresponds to values for a mathematical model for estimating a percentage of transactions in violation of consistency criteria. A processor extracts values from the first transaction based on the determined preexisting pattern. A processor calculates the mathematical model using the values from the first transaction and the values from the preexisting pattern.

  • Patent number: 9858250
    Abstract: In an approach for optimizing read/write access to a document object model in a web browser, one or more computer processors detect one or more accesses to a first data structure of a document object model. Based on the detected one or more accesses, the one or more computer processors determine whether the first data structure is a highly dynamic part of the document object model. Responsive to determining the first data structure is a highly dynamic part of the document object model, the one or more computer processors trigger a conversion of the first data structure to an access optimized data structure. The one or more computer processors convert the first data structure to an access optimized data structure.

  • Publication number: 20170344131
    Abstract: In an approach to pointer positioning, a computing device receives an instruction to enter a Move Mode. The computing device magnifies, in Move Mode, screen content to generate a virtual display. The computing device displays a first portion of the virtual display and a fixed pointer on the virtual display. The computing device receives physical movement data. The computing device analyzes the physical movement data. The computing device displays a second portion of the virtual display based on the analyzed physical movement data. The computing device receives an instruction to leave Move Mode. The computing device deactivates Move Mode.
