A system and method are presented for monitoring user browsing information. Such information can include, but is not limited to, the web pages visited by users, search queries submitted by users, the manner in which users browse the Internet and search for content, as well as any demographic information and interests of the corresponding users. Once a particular type of user browsing information has reached a certain threshold of activity by users, the invention can be configured to detect activity that reaches the threshold and then can increase the monitoring of the information.

The present invention leverages high-frequency interrupts and/or low priority threads to accurately determine which computing resources are available. This provides a computing asset (CPUs and/or software applications) with a means to accurately compensate for resource utilization in order to increase its performance. By utilizing the present invention, the computing asset can optimize its performance in a real-time, self-tuning manner. In one instance of the present invention, high intensity, low priority threads are initiated on available CPUs (logical and/or physical) to effectively replace a CPU's idle time with the low priority thread. This thread generally constitutes a computationally-intensive and/or a memory-intensive thread which permits a highly accurate performance measurement to be obtained for available CPU resources. In another instance of the present invention, high-frequency interrupts are initiated on CPUs to compensate for processes that are shorter than a thread's time quantum, providing a more accurate performance counter.

An improved hibernation method and system, including the use of a modified DMA (Direct Memory Access) mode of transferring data to and from the disk. The use of DMA increases data transfer speed, while freeing the system processor to perform other tasks, including compressing/decompressing the data transferred to and from the disk. An improved decoder is also provided that reduces the number of bounds checks needed on average for typical compressed data by first guaranteeing that there is sufficient room to decode literals and small substrings, whereby bounds checking is not needed. A combination hibernation mode and a suspend mode is also provided that essentially maintains power to the RAM while transparently backing the RAM with the hibernation file, such that if power to the RAM is interrupted, the RAM contents are automatically restored from the hibernation file when power is restored.

A dynamic-link library method and system for providing services to one or more application programs. The system includes a code resource that includes a plurality of service routines to allow any of the programs to use the service routines. The code resource is physically distinct from the application programs and does not have to be copied into the application programs, which allow the code resource and the application programs to be updated, compiled, and tested separately from each other. A selector routine receives the selection information from the stub routine, and in response thereto accesses the associated service routine and causes the associated service routine to perform its intended service. Preferably, the stub routine allocates parameters to be used by the associated service routine and passes the parameters to the selector routine along with the selection information. Preferably an interface routine is used to translate an index to the code resource into a selector pointer to the selector routine. The interface routine receives the selection information from the stub routine and passes the selection information to the selector routine using the selector pointer. A resource initiation routine loads and locks the code resource into memory. The resource initiation routine allocates resource global variables space for storing resource global variables used by the code resource. The selector routine saves an index to program global variables space for storing program global variables, the index being previously stored in a register. The selector routine stores an index to the resource global variables space into the register. After a service routine performs its service the selector routine restores the index to the program global variables space into the register. When the services of the code resource are no longer needed the current main program calls a resource termination routine. The resource termination routine unlocks the code resource in and disposes of the index to the resource global variables space.

A system and method are provided for detecting artificially generated load on a search system. The system may include a load monitoring component for monitoring a current load for comparison with an expected load. The system may additionally include an abnormality detection component for detecting an abnormality when the monitored load exceeds an expected amount by a predetermined threshold. The system may further include an analysis component for determining if the monitored load is an artificial load.

摘要:
Described is an improved decoder that reduces the number of bounds checks needed for typical compressed data by first guaranteeing that there is sufficient room to decode small symbol substrings and literal symbols, whereby bounds checking need not be performed on each symbol. Because literal symbols and small substrings of symbols form the majority of compressed data, the reduced checking significantly speeds up decoding on average. In one implementation, a fast LZ77 decoder that operates without bounds checking is used in a first phase until the end of the output buffer is neared at which time a second phase standard decoder, which performs bounds checks on each to ensure that the buffer does not overflow, is used. Normally the standard decoder decompresses only a small amount of data relative to the amount of data decompressed with the fast decoder, greatly improving decompression speed while not compromising safety.

Systems and methods for pre-processing an initializer prior to creation of a final version of a binary image and excluding the initializer from the computer code that comprises the binary image. Prior to creation of the final version of the binary image, an attempt is made to pre-process the initializer as if it were being processed during execution of the binary image. The initializer may be pre-processed during one or more of three stages involved in the creation of a binary image: prior to operation of the linker; during operation of the linker; and after operation of the linker. If the initializer is successfully pre-processed, an initialized value for a variable is determined. This initialized value is written into the binary image and all references and calls to the initializer are excluded from the binary image. Thus, during all subsequent start-ups of the binary image, no initialization of the variable will be performed.
