| 20120124100 | Grid Computing System Alongside a Distributed Database Architecture - Systems and methods are provided for a grid computing system that performs analytical calculations on data stored in a distributed database system. A grid-enabled software component at a control node is configured to invoke database management software (DBMS) at the control node to cause the DBMS at a plurality of the worker nodes to make available data to the grid-enabled software component local to its node; instruct the grid-enabled software components at the plurality of worker nodes to perform an analytical calculation on the received data and to send the results of the data analysis to the grid-enabled software component at the control node; and assemble the results of the data analysis performed by the grid-enabled software components at the plurality of worker nodes. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120047519 | TECHNIQUES TO REMOTELY ACCESS OBJECT EVENTS - Techniques to remotely access object events are described. An apparatus may comprise a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory may be operative to store a remote event bridge having a surrogate object that when executed by the processor is operative to allow an observer object for a first process to subscribe to an event of a subject object for a second process using the surrogate object. In this manner, the remote event bridge and the surrogate object operates as an interface between subject objects and observer objects without any modifications to either class of objects. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 02-23-2012 |
| 20110307475 | TECHNIQUES TO FIND PERCENTILES IN A DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - Techniques to search for data elements in a distributed computing environment are described. An apparatus may comprise a processor and a memory unit communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory unit may store a correlation module that when executed by the processor is operative to determine a target rank position at a target percentile rank within a total data set. The correlation module may determine a target data item at the target rank position for the total data set using candidate data items at candidate rank positions for each of multiple sorted data subsets of the total data set, and correlation values associated with each of the candidate data items. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 12-15-2011 |
| 20110035205 | TECHNIQUES TO AUTOMATICALLY GENERATE SIMULATED INFORMATION - Techniques to automatically generate simulated information are described. A method comprises receiving by a processor a structured input file with definitions to generate simulated data for a simulation database, and producing by the processor a data generator program based on the structured input file, the data generator program arranged to generate the simulated data for the simulation database using multiple data generating sessions executed concurrently or sequentially. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 02-10-2011 |
