Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to managing virtual data sources (VDSs), including creating and using VDSs. A virtual data source manager (VDSM) that is executing on a computer system may receive a request to generate a bitmap index for a dataset. The VDSM may then generate a bitmap index by ingesting the dataset into a data format of the bitmap index. The VDSM may further generate the bitmap index by performing a compression procedure on the ingested dataset to generate a plurality of data containers, where a given data container includes a respective compressed portion of the ingested dataset. After compressing the ingested dataset, the VDSM may then store the plurality of data containers in a set of binary trees (b-trees), where the set of b-trees is usable to respond to data requests for data of the bitmap index.

Abstract: Systems and methods of generating and using a bitmap index are disclosed. The bitmap index stores bit strings. In a particular implementation, each bit string in the bitmap index corresponds to an attribute. Each location in each bit string corresponds to the same source. The bitmap index supports parallelized and distributed execution of queries with respect to data indexed by the bitmap index. For example, the described bitmap index can be used to index advertising data, healthcare data, financial data, etc.

Abstract: An improved method and system for computerized trading of securities in which order preferences for securities are entered by a user and are stored on a computer system for future use as default values in response to the user placing an order. The time that it takes to complete an order may be reduced through the use of previously selected order preferences being displayed to the user in the order placement window. In another method for order entry, a user may specify a price-point and a security transaction flag option for a security transaction (e.g., buy, sell, sell short, stop loss, stop limit, sell to open, sell to close, buy to open, buy to close) on a price chart window for a particular security. The computer system monitors the price fluctuation of the particular security, and takes the specified security transaction in response to the specified price-point being reached.
