  • Patent number: 11941429
    Abstract: A computer system including one or more processors and persistent, word-addressable memory implements a persistent atomic multi-word compare-and-swap operation. On entry, a list of persistent memory locations of words to be updated, respective expected current values contained the persistent memory locations and respective new values to write to the persistent memory locations are provided. The operation atomically performs the process of comparing the existing contents of the persistent memory locations to the respective current values and, should they match, updating the persistent memory locations with the new values and returning a successful status. Should any of the contents of the persistent memory locations not match a respective current value, the operation returns a failed status. The operation is performed such that the system can recover from any failure or interruption by restoring the list of persistent memory locations.

  • Publication number: 20240094937
    Abstract: Techniques are described for enabling concurrent and non-blocking replication object deletion during cross-region replications. In some embodiments, in a target file system, a target replication pipeline as part of a cross-region replication, and a deletion pipeline operate in parallel. The deletion pipeline deletes processed objects reaching the last pipeline stage of the target replication pipeline after each checkpoint in the target replication pipeline. In some embodiments, after a non-recoverable failure during the cross-region replication, the cross-region replication can be restarted from the beginning (i.e., fresh restart) without waiting for its unused objects in the Object Store to be deleted by utilizing a generation number associated with each object to delete the unused objects in a background process while allowing deleting processed objects as normal for the freshly restarted cross-region replication.

    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for applying access controls to logical secure elements (LSEs) running on the same secure element hardware platform. Embodiments include a firmware component that determines whether a message targeting an LSE is authorized to trigger an operation. For example, the firmware component may verify a signature of the received message using a public key, shared secret, or other access control key. Additionally or alternatively, access control policies may be defined to constrain the load of the LSEs on the SE platform hardware and/or to prioritize LSE access. For example, the access control policies may define usage thresholds, such as maximum threshold memory and/or processor utilization rates. As another example, the access controls may restrict the active time for an LSE to a threshold duration. If access constraints are violated or the message cannot be verified, then the firmware component may delay or deny the operation.

  • Patent number: 11934541
    Abstract: A blockchain architecture allows blocks to store both public and private data. The public data may be accessible to any node in the blockchain network, while the private data may be accessible only to nodes specified in an access list, which may be provided when a record is added to the blockchain. When a new record is received, any private fields in the record may be identified and encrypted by a receiving node. The key may then be encrypted and sent with the protected record to other nodes in the access list. These nodes can access the encryption key, decrypt the private fields, and provide a consensus decision to a receiving node. After consensus, the protected record may be added to the blockchain, where the public fields may be freely accessed by any node, and the private fields remain accessible only to nodes in the access list.

  • Patent number: 11934885
    Abstract: A system and method for use with a cloud computing environment, for determining a cloud score associated with a resource configuration, limits, or shape, for example that of a virtual machine or host provided within the environment. The described approach provides a set of infrastructure workloads, for use in assessing a cloud infrastructure and resources provided thereby, so that a full spectrum of aspects of the cloud infrastructure can be covered by workload testing. The workloads can be used to generate metrics associated with resource usage. The system can then consider one or more metrics that are associated with performance of a particular resource configuration or shape, for example that of a virtual machine or (e.g., bare metal) host hosted by a cloud provider, and determine a score that is indicative of the relative performance of that configuration or shape for a particular workload configuration.

  • Patent number: 11935521
    Abstract: Techniques are described for improving the efficiency of dialog processing by prompting and processing user feedback substantially in real time. A dialog system receives speech input from a user and processes a first portion of the speech input to determine an initial discerned intent. The dialog system causes display of a visual indication of the initial discerned intent. The visual indication of the discerned intent is used to guide the dialog so that the user can correct or confirm the initial discerned intent in a natural fashion. If the initial discerned intent is inaccurate, the user can provide feedback correcting the dialog system, and the dialog system processes a second portion of the speech input to determine a modified discerned intent. Thus, the dialog system can use the feedback to correct misunderstandings on the fly.

  • Patent number: 11936739
    Abstract: Techniques are described to perform an automatic reset of a database session to generate an environment that resembles a brand new session without the computational cost of creating a brand new session. In an embodiment, a DBMS receives a request from a client application to execute commands within a session. The DBMS identifies that the end request boundary, the end of the logical work unit for the client application, is reached within the session. The DBMS verifies that the end request boundary is at a resettable point of a session state of the session for the session to be safely reset. If the verification is successful, the DBMS performs a reset of the session to prevent any leakage of application-related session state to the next request.

  • Patent number: 11935570
    Abstract: Techniques for determining a data tape read quality value are disclosed. A data tape system generates a value representing a quality of a data tape based on attributes of the data tape. The system calculates the data quality value using an algorithm based on: (a) a particular data tape error correction value, (b) data tape length value representing a length of data tape traversed during data-processing operations, and (c) a scaling factor. The scaling factor is based on a relationship between the particular data tape error correction value and a rate of degradation of the data tape. The scaling factor may be generated by applying a trained machine learning model to attributes of a data tape. The model generates a scaling factor for a particular data tape based on the attributes of the particular data tape.
