When a signal glitches, logic receiving the signal may change in response, thereby charging and/or discharging nodes within the logic and dissipating power. Providing a glitch-free signal may reduce the number of times the nodes are charged and/or discharged, thereby reducing the power dissipation. A technique for eliminating glitches in a signal is to insert a storage element that samples the signal after it is done changing to produce a glitch-free output signal. The storage element is enabled by a “ready” signal having a delay that matches the delay of circuitry generating the signal. The technique prevents the output signal from changing until the final value of the signal is achieved. The output signal changes only once, typically reducing the number of times nodes in the logic receiving the signal are charged and/or discharged so that power dissipation is also reduced.

The invention relates to database abstraction and data linkage. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the invention takes a variety of attributes (e.g., names, IP address, device identifiers, addresses, phone numbers, account numbers, etc.) and returns the online activity, demographic data, account data and/or other activity, events and data associated with that attribute. The tool may then iterate over each attribute and return a network of connections having multiple degrees of association. The innovative tool may be linked to known bad actor data, and perform automated searches on this data to proactively alert potentially fraudulent activity. The tool may also be developed to add attributes and apply machine learning to the associations to more intelligently describe the returned network. Further, the tool may be developed to describe larger networks having multiple degrees of connections.

Embodiments for granular replication of data with high efficiency. A defined metadata element embodied as a tag is assigned to each file. Tag filtering is used to direct the data to the proper location. Files with different tags can be selected for transfer. Embodiments can be used with a defined backup system file replication process, such as present in the Data Domain File System. By using snapshots, incoming new data is continued to be ingested while the replication is in process and maintaining data consistency at the same time. This is achieved by performing operations on B+ Tree snapshots in conjunction with tag filtering on keys present in the leaf pages of these structures. This method efficiently makes a single pass walk of a B+ Tree in contrast with previous methods that look up files one-by-one via their pathname.

A data platform that implements memoizable functions for database objects. The data platform detects a first execution of a memoizable function and generates a first key based on metadata of one or more database objects operated on by the memoizable function and generates a first result for the memoizable function based on the one or more database objects. The data platform detects a second execution of the memoizable function and generates a second key based on the metadata of the one or more database objects operated on by the memoizable function. When the first key and the second key are equal, the data platform reuses the first result of the memoizable function. When the first key and second key do not match, the data platform generates a second result for the second execution of the memoizable function.
