Abstract: Techniques are provided to allow more sophisticated operations to be performed remotely by machines that are not fully functional. Operations that can be performed reliably by a machine that has experienced a hardware and/or software error are referred to herein as Remote Direct Memory Operations or “RDMOs”. Unlike RDMAs, which typically involve trivially simple operations such as the retrieval of a single value from the memory of a remote machine, RDMOs may be arbitrarily complex. The techniques described herein can help applications run without interruption when there are software faults or glitches on a remote system with which they interact.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a first device, a second device, and a storage area shared by the first device and the second device when performing mailbox communication between the first device and the second device. When transmitting first data from the first device to the second device via the mailbox communication, the first device stores first data in the storage area. The second device, which has stored therein an identifier of a device permitted to transmit data to the second device via the mailbox communication, obtains an identifier of the first device, and compares the obtained identifier to the identifier stored in the second device to determine whether acquisition of the first data from the storage area is permitted. When the acquisition of the first data from the storage area is determined to be permitted, the second device reads the first data from the storage area.

Abstract: A website is navigated automatically in a sequential manner, for example by performing a series of specific network requests in a specified order, without necessarily using a browser, and without necessarily rendering each web page in the sequence. Interactions with a website are automatically recorded, stored, and analyzed. Requests and responses can be associated with particular in-put/output operations.

Thus, data extraction and/or other operations can be performed more efficiently and more quickly, while reducing the computing resources needed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a data analysis system for grouping and enriching data items for presentation to an analyst through a user interface. Data items from one or more data sources are combined into memory-efficient clustered data structures, which may be stored as one or more data tables in a database.

The analysis and scoring may also be added to the clustered data structures which are stored as one or more data tables in a database. The analyst may be prompted to create a dossier format or specification and to additional enrichments to be performed on the raw data items in the clustered data structures. The system may then search, group, or filter the raw data items based on the analyst-defined dossier format, as well as add enrichments to the data.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for gathering statistics in a database system. The techniques involve gathering some statistics using an “on-the-fly” technique, some statistics through a “high-frequency” technique, and yet other statistics using a “prediction” technique. The technique used to gather each statistic is based, at least in part, on the overhead required to gather the statistic. For example, low-overhead statistics may be gathered “on-the-fly” using the same process that is performing the operation that affects the statistic, while statistics whose gathering incurs greater overhead may be gathered in the background, while the database is live, using the high-frequency technique. The prediction technique may be used for relatively-high overhead statistics that can be predicted based on historical data and the current value of predictor statistics.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes apparatuses and methods for artificial intelligence-enabled search of a storage system. In some aspects, a metadata manager of a storage system receives a label of an object that an AI engine detects in data stored in the storage system. The metadata manager creates, in a relational section of a metadata database, an entry for the detected object with an identifier of the label of the detected object and an address of a node corresponding to the detected object. The metadata manager also creates, in a navigational portion of the metadata database and with the address of the detected object, the node that includes a reference to a relative node of another object and a weight of a relationship between the node and the relative node. By so doing, the metadata database may be searched based on weighted relationships between various nodes, thereby enabling contextual or implicit search of data in the storage system.
