Abstract: Forwarding Ethernet packets is disclosed, including: receiving an incoming packet; determining a value based at least in part on performing a hash operation on at least a portion of a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address included in the incoming packet; comparing the value against a pre-established look-up table to determine whether a corresponding index value is found, wherein the pre-established look-up table stores index values and corresponding data sets to respective ones of the index values; determining a destination media access control (MAC) address associated with the incoming packet based at least in part on whether the corresponding index value is found in the pre-established look-up table; and forwarding the incoming packet to a virtual machine associated with the determined destination MAC address.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a system, a method and an apparatus of data interaction under load balancing to solve the problem of heavy workload of a server load balancer under existing technologies. The system includes a server load balancer, a real server, and a conversion apparatus. A data package, which is sent from a client to a real server, is processed and sent by the server load balancer to the real server. A data package, which is sent from the real server to the client, is processed and sent by the conversion apparatus to the client. Since the traffic flowing from the real server to the client does not pass through the server load balancer but is processed and sent by the conversion apparatus to the client in the above system that is provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the workload on the server load balancer is thus effectively reduced.

Abstract: A method and system for constructing a database management system for managing biometric data is disclosed. The disclosed system receives data from another database or from and enrollment process, encodes the data with an encoding plug-in, and stores the encoded data in a biometric data storage. The data may be enhanced before being stored. Incoming target data likewise is encoded using an encoding plug-in and may be pre-processed, and is sent to a matching algorithm that is either built-in or a plug-in algorithm. Further processing may occur after application of the matching algorithm. The disclosed database management system can be used not only for biometric database, but also for other similar types of data management.

Abstract: A method and implementation of enhancing a facial recognition process to increase the judgment confidence on identifying a person from a large image database of multiple persons. The method may include reconstructing a database of 2D images having only a small number of images with respect to each person into a database having multiple images, perhaps hundreds or thousands, of each person. The multiple images represent different camera angles or different lighting conditions. The method further includes adding an extra confidence percentage to matching images in the database when multiple images of a person are identified as matching.

Abstract: An architecture and method useful for fast one-to-many image matching and image indexing. A plurality of images in a database are digitized into a plurality of descriptors. The descriptors are separated into a plurality of index groups. Index values for the images in the database are then calculated for the various index groups. An index value, for example, could be calculated as the average of the descriptors in a particular group. A source groups of images having particular index values over a particular threshold value are identified. When matching a target image to images in the database, the index values are calculated for the target image and compared to the threshold value. Source groups of images having similar index values over the threshold are then identified for further matching to the target image.

Abstract: A distributed memory computing environment is structured with an invariant memory page pool. The environment includes a device, a memory, a hard disk, and an operating system running on the device. A device ID lookup table and a Memory Block ID Lookup Table are stored in memory. Copies of memory pages and their look up tables are stored on the hard disk. If the operating system is shut down, at subsequent system start-up, memory is divided according to the same divisions seen on the memory page copies saved in configuration files.
