20110320184 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HIGHLY PARALLEL PROCESSING OF PARAMETERIZED SIMULATIONS - Systems and associated methods for highly parallel processing of parameterized simulations are described. Embodiments permit processing of stochastic data-intensive simulations in a highly parallel fashion in order to distribute the intensive workload. Embodiments utilize methods of seeding records in a database with a source of pseudo-random numbers, such as a compressed seed for a pseudo-random number generator, such that seeded records may be processed independently in a highly parallel fashion. Thus, embodiments provide systems and associated methods facilitating quicker data-intensive simulation by enabling highly parallel asynchronous simulations. | 12-29-2011 |
20120179684 | SEMANTICALLY AGGREGATED INDEX IN AN INDEXER-AGNOSTIC INDEX BUILDING SYSTEM - A computer program product for an indexer-agnostic index building system includes a computer readable storage medium to store a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computer, causes the computer to perform operations for creating a semantically aggregated index. The operations include: extracting documents from a data source, wherein each document includes a data object; distributing the documents to a plurality of processing nodes within the system; for each node: indexing the data objects for each document into fields using semantic rules; and grouping indexed data objects for related fields by: classifying the documents into logical groups based on the semantic rules; and creating a searchable index shard for related logical groups. | 07-12-2012 |
20120254089 | Vector throttling to control resource use in computer systems - Embodiments of the invention relate to building a distributed reverse semantic index. In one general embodiment a plurality of documents are received with each document having at least one defined rule and or semantic. The documents are distributed among a plurality of nodes of a system. The documents are processed in a generally parallel fashion. Processing the documents includes processing text data of each of the document and breaking each document into fields to index the text data to create index data by deferring how to categorize the text data based upon the defined rule and or semantics. The indexed data is combined back together to create an indexer-agnostic semantic index including a plurality of the semantic index shards and to semantically classify the documents based on the index shards into groups based on document type to create the distributed reverse semantic index. | 10-04-2012 |

20140281746 | QUERY REWRITES FOR DATA-INTENSIVE APPLICATIONS IN PRESENCE OF RUN-TIME ERRORS - Embodiments relate to a method and computer program product for error handling. The method includes performing at least one query operation. The processing of query operation also includes generating error information data based at least an error encountered during performance of the query operation and generating a data result relating to any portion of the query operation successfully completed. The data result is processed together with the error information data based on encountering any errors. The data result and error information are provided together in a package but separated by an indicator to distinguish between them. | 09-18-2014 |
20140281748 | QUERY REWRITES FOR DATA-INTENSIVE APPLICATIONS IN PRESENCE OF RUN-TIME ERRORS - An aspect of error handling includes a parsing block for pre-processing a document indexing application, a filtering block for discarding irrelevant documents, a transformation block to clean up and annotate input data by identifying a document language, and a processor configured for grouping inputs to collect documents for a same entity in a single spot. The processor processes a query operation. An aspect of error handling also includes a data package including a data result component that includes data generated based on successful completion of at least a portion of the query operation. The data package also includes an error information data component based on one or more errors encountered during processing of the query operation. An indicator separates the error information data from the data result. The system also includes a memory associated with a distributed file system for storing a final write output relating to the query operation. | 09-18-2014 |
