Each of the second level node storage severs obtains the data from the root node storage server and stores the data thereon. Each of the third level node storage severs obtains the data from the corresponding second node storage server and stores the data thereon. A related method is also provided.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a plasma processing device may include a plasma processing chamber, a plasma region, an energy source, and a corrosion resistant component. The plasma processing chamber can be maintained at a vacuum pressure and can confine a plasma processing gas. The energy source can transmit energy into the plasma processing chamber and transform at least a portion of the plasma processing gas into plasma within the plasma region. The corrosion resistant component can be located within the plasma processing chamber. The corrosion resistant component can be exposed to the plasma processing gas and is not coincident with the plasma region. The corrosion resistant component may include an inner layer of stainless steel that is coated with an outer layer of Tantalum (Ta).
Abstract:
A chamber component configured to be coupled to a processing chamber is described. The chamber component comprises one or more adjustable gas passages through which a process gas is introduced to the process chamber. The adjustable gas passage may be configured to form a hollow cathode that creates a hollow cathode plasma in a hollow cathode region having one or more plasma surfaces in contact with the hollow cathode plasma. Therein, at least one of the one or more plasma surfaces is movable in order to vary the size of the hollow cathode region and adjust the properties of the hollow cathode plasma. Furthermore, one or more adjustable hollow cathodes may be utilized to adjust a plasma process for treating a substrate.

Abstract:
Methods and systems for implementing a splitter operation in an extract, transform, and load (ETL) process are provided. In one implementation, the method includes receiving a data flow including a splitter operation, and generating an execution plan graph based on the data flow. The execution plan graph includes structured query language (SQL) code for implementing the splitter operation, in which the structured query language (SQL) code is respectively executable among database servers associated with different vendors.
Abstract:
Methods, computer program products, and system for generating code for an extract, transform, and load (ETL) data flow are provided. In one implementation, the method includes receiving an ETL data flow representing a logical transformation and flow of data, placing a staging table at a pre-determined location in the ETL data flow to reduce a total number of staging tables required by the transformation, and generating code for the transformation based on the ETL data flow including the staging table placed at the pre-determined location.
Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to tracking variable location information in optimized code and efficiently collecting and storing reaching definition information. A computer system receives a portion of source code at a compiler, where the compiler is configured to compile and optimize the source code for execution. The computer system tags selected variables in the source code with a tag, where the tag is configured to provide location information for the variable. The computer system optimizes the received portion of source code including changing at least one of the tagged variables. The computer system also tracks the tagged variables as the variables are changed by the compiler during code optimization and persists the variable location information, so that the persisted variable location information is available to other compiler components.
