Abstract:
Systems and methods for invalidating and regenerating pages. In one embodiment, a method can include detecting content changes in a content database including various objects. The method can include causing an invalidation generator to generate an invalidation based on the modification and communicating the invalidation to a dependency manager. A cache manager can be notified that pages in a cache might be invalidated based on the modification via a page invalidation notice. In one embodiment, a method can include receiving a page invalidation notice and sending a page regeneration request to a page generator. The method can include regenerating the cached page. The method can include forwarding the regenerated page to the cache manager replacing the cached page with the regenerated page. In one embodiment, a method can include invalidating a cached page based on a content modification and regenerating pages which might depend on the modified content.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for managing cached content are disclosed. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention may allow cached content to be updated (e.g. regenerated or replaced) based on newly added or changed content. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention may allow cached content to be regenerated, replaced or updated based on newly added or changed content associated with the cached content allowing cached content to be updated substantially immediately when pertinent new content is added or content from which the cached content was generated is altered.
Abstract:
Parallel register-transfer mechanism and control section have been disclosed above for use in a reduction processor for the evaluation of expressions of a variable-free applicative language stored as binary directed graphs. The expressions are reduced through a series of transformations until a result is obtained.
Abstract:
An allocator for a reduction processor which evaluates programs stored as binary graphs employing variable-free applicative language codes. These graphs are made up of nodes, each of which exists in memory and contains as its most significant bit a mark bit which when set indicates that the node is being used in a graph and when reset indicates that the node or storage location is available for future use by the processor. The allocator scans selected groups of storage locations in parallel to see if there are any unused storage locations and then places the addresses of those unused storage locations in a queue for use by the processor.

Abstract:
A method and system disclosed herein can be used to determine relationships between objects, determining which of those relationships are significant for a specific action, and determining physical dependencies between the objects. The method and system can be used to perform actions consistent with integrity constraints, and therefore, performs the actions in the correct order with a reduced likelihood of errors. The method and system are highly beneficial in that they can significantly enhance content management and can be implemented without having to write new or edit existing applications. Also, existing content data and applications may be used without any changes.
Abstract:
A method and system can be used to control better compound objects. Compound objects can include composite and other objects that are managed by a content management system for network site(s). The method and system can be used to determine relationships between objects, determining which of those relationships are significant for a specific action, and determining physical dependencies between the objects. The method and system can be used to perform actions consistent with integrity constraints, and therefore, performs the actions in the correct order with a reduced likelihood of errors. The method and system are highly beneficial in that they can significantly enhance content management and can be implemented without having to write new or edit existing applications. Also, existing content data and applications may be used without any changes.
Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein provide a high performance content delivery system in which versions of content are cached for servicing web site requests containing the same uniform resource locator (URL). When a page is cached, certain metadata is also stored along with the page. That metadata includes a description of what extra attributes, if any, must be consulted to determine what version of content to serve in response to a request. When a request is fielded, a cache reader consults this metadata at a primary cache address, then extracts the values of attributes, if any are specified, and uses them in conjunction with the URL to search for an appropriate response at a secondary cache address. These attributes may include HTTP request headers, cookies, query string, and session variables. If no entry exists at the secondary address, the request is forwarded to a page generator at the back-end.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for invalidating and regenerating pages. In one embodiment, a method can include detecting content changes in a content database including various objects. The method can include causing an invalidation generator to generate an invalidation based on the modification and communicating the invalidation to a dependency manager. A cache manager can be notified that pages in a cache might be invalidated based on the modification via a page invalidation notice. In some embodiments, the content change can affect a set of objects which can be defined by an attribute of the objects. The content change can be the creation or deletion of some object(s) in the content database. The cached page can be regenerated during which various dependencies of the regenerated page can be discovered.
Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein utilize statistical approximations to manage large filesystem-based caches based on imperfect information. When removing entries from a large cache, which may have a million or more entries, the cache manager does not need to find the absolutely oldest entry that has been accessed the least recently. Instead, it suffices to find an entry that is older than most. In embodiments disclosed herein, statistical sampling of the cache is performed to produce models of different properties of the cache, including the number of entries, distribution of access times, distribution of entry sizes, etc. The models are then used to guide decisions that involve those properties. The size of the samples can be adjusted to balance the cost of acquiring the samples against the confidence level of the models produced by the samples. To achieve randomness, entries are stored using prefixes of addresses generated via a message-digest function.
