20100076941 | MATRIX-BASED SCANS ON PARALLEL PROCESSORS - A system and method for performing a scan of an input sequence in a parallel processor having a shared register file. A two dimensional matrix is generated, having a number of rows representing a number of threads and a number of columns based on the input sequence block size and the number of rows. One or more padding columns may be added to the matrix to avoid or reduce memory bank conflicts. A first traversal of the rows performs a reduction or a scan of each of the rows in parallel, storing the reduction values. The reduction values are used during a second traversal to propagate the reduction values. In a segmented scan, propagation is selectively performed based on flags representing segment boundaries. | 03-25-2010 |

Upon a subscribed resource change, a notification service stores a notification of the change into a queue associated with the client. Efficient resource tracking is achieved because notification and subscription data is stored in low latency soft memory. The notification service is configured to detect a failure in the notification service and/or subscription service. In the event a service fails, the client provides a recovery mechanism by resubscribing to resources the client is interested in. | 04-08-2010 |

20150310103 | SYSTEM FOR ACCESSING THE FULL OR SELECTED PERSONAL DETAILS OF AN INDIVIDUAL USING A ZIPREG NUMBER AND METHOD OF USING SAME - A system for accessing the full or selected personal detail information of an individual, which includes an individual computer for storing a ZIPREG number, a ZIPREG computer for storing personal contact detail information about an individual and for creating and providing the ZIPREG number to the individual, a requester computer such that the individual computer, the ZIPREG computer and requester computer are operatively connected to each other, and means for the requester computer to request the ZIPREG number from the individual computer in order for the requester computer to obtain the personal contact detail information about the individual from the ZIPREG computer. | 10-29-2015 |
20160103828 | MODULAR UPDATING OF VISUALIZATIONS - The modular updating of visualizations is provided. Elements of a visualization (e.g., graphical representations of data series, axes, titles, etc.) are only updated within the visualization when the hierarchical data defining that element is changed, thus reducing the processing load on the system providing the visualization. According to an aspect, the changes in the data are accurately translated from an arbitrary hierarchy format into a normalized hierarchy format so that a data visualization platform modularly update the hierarchical data that defines the visualization. According to an aspect, modular updating of hierarchy data enables updating a visualization in pieces (i.e., modularly), such that portions of the visualization that are not affected by the change to the data are not updated and do not need to be recalculated for rendering. | 04-14-2016 |
20160125052 | DATABASE VIRTUALIZATION - Frame data is received from an agent instrumented on a software component, the frame data describing a particular request from the software component to a database access component intercepted at the agent. The particular request corresponds to a transaction involving a database and the software component can interface with the database using the database access component. A service mode is identified that corresponds to the transaction and virtualization data is generated based on the service model and the particular request. The virtualization data is sent to the agent that describes a virtualized response to be provided by the agent to the software component as a response to the particular request. | 05-05-2016 |
