  • Patent number: 11972777
    Abstract: A data object has a lock and a condition indicator associated with it. Based at least partly on detecting a first setting of the condition indicator, a reader stores an indication that the reader has obtained read access to the data object in an element of a readers structure and reads the data object without acquiring the lock. A writer detects the first setting and replaces it with a second setting, indicating that the lock is to be acquired by readers before reading the data object. Prior to performing a write on the data object, the writer verifies that one or more elements of the readers structure have been cleared.

  • Patent number: 11971863
    Abstract: A manager file system (MFS), implemented using an OS process, exposes a path in the native file system as the root of its file system (e.g., mount point). The MFS informs the OS kernel that any file system operation whose path contains the mount point as its prefix, should be handed over to the process by invoking an appropriate interface method that the process implements as part of its file system implementation. The MFS manages one or more applications and leverages the authentication mechanism of the OS to provide fined-grained access control of MFS managed applications.

  • Patent number: 11971869
    Abstract: A shared-nothing database system is provided in which parallelism and workload balancing are increased by assigning the rows of each table to “slices”, and storing multiple copies (“duplicas”) of each slice across the persistent storage of multiple nodes of the shared-nothing database system. When the data for a table is distributed among the nodes of a shared-nothing system in this manner, requests to read data from a particular row of the table may be handled by any node that stores a duplica of the slice to which the row is assigned. For each slice, a single duplica of the slice is designated as the “primary duplica”. All DML operations (e.g. inserts, deletes, updates, etc.) that target a particular row of the table are performed by the node that has the primary duplica of the slice to which the particular row is assigned. The changes made by the DML operations are then propagated from the primary duplica to the other duplicas (“secondary duplicas”) of the same slice.

  • Patent number: 11973643
    Abstract: Techniques discussed herein relate to implementing a distributed computing cluster (the “cluster”) including a plurality of edge devices (e.g., devices individually configured to selectively execute within an isolated computing environment). One edge device may be configured to operate as a head node of the cluster at a given time. A request for virtual resources of the cluster may be received from a user device and directed to the first edge device of the cluster. The first edge device may determine it is not operating as a head node of the cluster. The first edge device may determine that a second edge device of the cluster is operating as the head node. In response, the first edge device may forward the request to the second edge device, wherein forwarding the request to the second edge device causes the second request to be processed by the cluster.

  • Patent number: 11972308
    Abstract: A parametric constant resolves to different values in different contexts, but a single value within a particular context. An anchor constant is a parametric constant that allows for a degree of parametricity for an API point. The context for the anchor constant is provided by a caller to the API point. The anchor constant resolves to an anchor value that records specialization decisions for the API point within the provided context. Specialization decisions may include type restrictions, memory layout, and/or memory size. The anchor value together with an unspecialized type of the API point result in a specialized type of the API point. A class object representing the specialized type is created. The class object may be accessible to the caller, but the full value of the anchor value is not accessible to the caller. The API point is executed based on the specialization decisions embodied in the anchor value.

  • Patent number: 11966275
    Abstract: The present invention relates to machine learning (ML) explainability (MLX). Herein are local explanation techniques for black box ML models based on coalitions of features in a dataset. In an embodiment, a computer receives a request to generate a local explanation of which coalitions of features caused an anomaly detector to detect an anomaly. During unsupervised generation of a new coalition, a first feature is randomly selected from features in a dataset. Which additional features in the dataset can join the coalition, because they have mutual information with the first feature that exceeds a threshold, is detected. For each feature that is not in the coalition, values of the feature are permuted in imperfect copies of original tuples in the dataset. An average anomaly score of the imperfect copies is measured. Based on the average anomaly score of the imperfect copies, a local explanation is generated that references (e.g. defines) the coalition.

  • Patent number: 11966798
    Abstract: A type restriction contextually modifies an existing type descriptor. The type restriction is imposed on a data structure to restrict the values that are assumable by the data structure. The type restriction does not cancel or otherwise override the effect of the existing type descriptor on the data structure. Rather the type restriction may declare that a value of the data structure's type is forbidden for the data structure. Additionally or alternatively, the type restriction may declare that an element count allowable for a data structure's type is forbidden for the data structure. Type restriction allows optionality (where only a singleton value for a data structure is allowed), empty sets (where no value for a data structure is allowed), and multiplicity (where only a limited element count for a data structure) to be injected into a code set independent of data type. Type restriction allows certain optimizations to be performed.

  • Patent number: 11966410
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for loading and transforming data to a cloud database, using a hybrid set-based extract, load, transform approach. During the loading and transforming of large amounts of data, from one or more data sources, a data synchronization application sends small batches of data, in parallel streams, to the database, which operates as a transformation engine to load the data. Each stream can be associated with a separate staging table in the database. For each staging table, the subset of data therein is transformed and loaded, before the next subset is processed. A transform and merge process operating at the database can then be used to transform and merge the data, from each of the staging tables, to the target table.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for implementing a container environment where each pod within the container environment is provided with a unique IP address and a virtual communication device such as an IPvlan device. Communications from source pods are directly routed to destination pods within the container environment by one or more virtualized network interface cards (VNICs) utilizing the unique IP addresses of the destination pods, without the need for bridging and encapsulation. This reduces a size of data being transmitted and also eliminates a compute cost necessary to perform encapsulation of data during transmission.

    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for analyzing and tuning database workloads to optimize application performance. In some embodiments, a workload analyzer identifies a captured workload that includes a set of database queries executed within a particular timeframe. The workload analyzer compares the workload within one or more other workloads executed within a previous timeframe to determine differences between the different workloads. For example, the workload analyzer may identify changes in the distributions of queries, including how many queries are unchanged, missing, and/or new. The workload analyzer may further detect changes in the performance of individual queries. The workload analyzer may determine the overall performance impact of such changes on the total workload. Based on the analysis, the workload analyzer may generate reports, alerts, tuning advice, and/or recommendations to boost performance.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and techniques for resolving dangling references resulting from a dependency relationship between computing resource objects uncovered during a harvesting process. In embodiments, a harvester application adds computing resource objects associated with a client to a resource collection as those computing resource objects are identified. Dependencies are identified as each computing resource object is added to the resource collection, which are resolved only if the computing resource objects associated with those dependencies have already been added to the resource collection. If the computing resource objects associated with the dependencies have not already been added to the resource collection, then the dependency is added to an observer pool. Observer modules are configured to check each computing resource object as it is processed during the harvest process in order to match those computing resource objects to unresolved dependencies.

    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, a software service allows software providers to implement machine learning (ML) features into products offered by the software providers. Each ML feature may be referred to as an encapsulated ML application, which may be defined and maintained in a central repository, while also being provisioned for each user of the software provider on an as-needed basis. Advantageously, embodiments allow for a central definition for an ML application that encapsulates data science and processing capabilities and routines of the software provider. This central ML application delivers a ML deployment pipeline template that may be replicated multiple times as separate, tailored runtime pipeline instances on a per-user basis. Each runtime pipeline instance accounts for differences in the specific data of each user, resulting in user-specific ML models and predictions based on the same central ML application.
