Systems And Methods For Highly Parallel Processing Of Parameterized Simulations

US Patent:
2012032, Dec 20, 2012
Filed:
Aug 27, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/595446
Inventors:
Kevin S. Beyer - San Francisco CA, US
Vuk Ercegovac - Campbell CA, US
Peter Haas - San Jose CA, US
Eugene J. Shekita - San Jose CA, US
Fei Xu - Bellevue WA, US
Assignee:
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 9/45
US Classification:
703 22
Abstract:
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.

Adaptive Parallel Data Processing

US Patent:
2012031, Dec 6, 2012
Filed:
May 31, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/149312
Inventors:
Andrey Balmin - San Jose CA, US
Kevin Scott Beyer - San Francisco CA, US
Vuk Ercegovac - Campbell CA, US
Rares Vernica - Irvine CA, US
Assignee:
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 9/46
US Classification:
718100
Abstract:
Described herein are methods, systems, apparatuses and products for adaptive parallel data processing. An aspect provides providing a map phase in which at least one map function is applied in parallel on different partitions of input data at different mappers in a parallel data processing system; providing a communication channel between mappers using a distributed meta-data store, wherein said map phase comprises mapper data processing adapted responsive to communication with said distributed meta-data store; and providing data accessible by at least one reduce phase node in which at least one reduce function is applied. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Indexing And Searching Json Objects

US Patent:
8260784, Sep 4, 2012
Filed:
Feb 13, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/371005
Inventors:
Kevin Scott Beyer - San Francisco CA, US
Jun Rao - San Jose CA, US
Eugene J Shekita - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06F 7/00
US Classification:
707742, 707791, 707797, 715200, 715234
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of encoding JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) documents in an inverted index, wherein a tree representation of a JSON document is first generated, and, next, the JSON document is shredded into a list of tuples for each atom node, n, in the tree, where value is a label associated with n, path is a concatenation of node labels associated with ancestors of n, type is a description of a type of value, and jdewey of n is a partial Dewey code of its closest ancestor array node, if one exists, or empty, otherwise. Lastly, an inverted index is built using as index term, and jdewey as payload. A method is also described to search the inverted index.
