  • Patent number: 11403425
    Abstract: A system for detecting breach of merchant systems includes an extraction management system for extracting wildcard data from a dump site at which stolen account data is offered for sale. The system also includes an account breach identifying system for accessing stored transaction data from multiple banks and merging the extracted dump site data with the transaction data to create unique PAN (primary account number) data records (each set of wildcard data corresponds to only a single PAN) and multiple PAN data records (each set of wildcard data corresponds to multiple PANs). The unique and multiple PAN data records are stored and analyzed separately, and reduce the amount of data needed to identify a breached merchant.

  • Patent number: 11405694
    Abstract: The described technology is directed towards an image providing service, including an image processing service that composites a base image into a resultant image, e.g., by resizing an image, overlaying text and so forth based upon a purpose for that image and/or a client device class; other parameters such as design information, protection and so forth also may be specified. When a client requests an image including by specifying a purpose and size in a request to an endpoint (e.g., URL) for an image, the image processing service locates or composites a resultant image corresponding to the request, and returns the resultant image or a modified (e.g., resized) resultant image in response to the request. Clients thus obtain images based upon a desired purpose without having to do client-side image processing including image compositing.

  • Patent number: 11263000
    Abstract: An event-driven compute service upgrades an execution environment for registered functions of the compute service. Some compute nodes of the service have an updated version of the execution environment and some compute nodes have the old version of the execution environment. As a part of the upgrade process, some functions are executed in both environments. For example, for some invocations of a particular function, the function is executed in the updated execution environment while for other invocations of the same function, the function is executed in the old execution environment. Based on resulting status of the executions, the compute service determines that the particular function is compatible or incompatible with the updated version of the execution environment. The compute service performs subsequent executions of incompatible functions in the old version of the execution environment instead of in the updated version. A client may be notified of the incompatibility.

  • Patent number: 11231918
    Abstract: A function is compiled against a first application binary interface (ABI) and a second ABI of a native first instruction set architecture (ISA). The second ABI defines context data not exceeding a size expected by a third ABI of a foreign second ISA, and uses a subset of registers of the first ISA that are mapped to registers of the second ISA. Use of the subset of registers by the second ABI results in some functions being foldable when compiled using both the first and second ABIs. First and second compiled versions of the function are identified as foldable, or not, based on whether the compiled versions match. Both the first and second compiled versions are emitted into a binary file when they are not foldable, and only one of the first or second compiled versions is emitted into the binary file when they are foldable.

  • Patent number: 11068247
    Abstract: Algorithms, examples, and related technology for automatic vectorization of a particular class of loops is described. The loops, denoted “CMMSR loops”, operate to find an extremum and also utilize an index denoting the position of the extremum in an array or other multi-element input. CMMSR loops are identified in a language translator by matching a specified template or having a specified set of parsing results, or both. Generated vectorization code includes, for example, code to compute candidates for the extremum, code to select the same instance of the extremum as a scalar execution when the input contains multiple instances, and wind-down code to compute an index expression based on the selected instance of the extremum. Vectorizations may execute on SIMD hardware or other vector processors.

  • Patent number: 11042422
    Abstract: A hybrid binary executable under both native processes and compatibility (e.g., emulated) processes. When the hybrid binary is loaded by a native process, the process executes a native code stream contained in the binary directly on a processor. When the hybrid binary is loaded by a compatibility process, the process executes an emulation-compatible (EC) code stream directly on a processor. When executing in a compatibility process, the EC code stream can interact with a foreign code stream that executes in an emulator. The foreign code stream can be included in the hybrid binary itself, or can be external to the hybrid binary. The hybrid binary format supports folding of code between the native code stream and the EC code stream. The hybrid binary comprises a set of memory transformations which are applied to image data obtained from the binary when the hybrid binary executes under the compatibility process.
