An optimistic, latch-free index traversal (“OLFIT”) concurrency control scheme is disclosed for an index structure for managing a database system. In each node of an index tree, the OLFIT scheme maintains a latch, a version number, and a link to the next node at the same level of the index tree. Index traversal involves consistent node read operations starting from the root. To ensure the consistency of node read operations without latching, every node update operation first obtains a latch and increments the version number after update of the node contents. Every node read operation begins with reading the version number into a register and ends with verifying if the current version number is consistent with the register-stored version number. If they are the same, the read operation is consistent. Otherwise, the node read is retried until the verification succeeds. The concurrency control scheme of the present invention is applicable to many index structures such as the B+-tree and the CSB+-tree.

摘要:
The apparatuses and methods described herein may operate to identify, from an index structure stored in memory, a reference minimum bounding shape that encloses at least one minimum bounding shape. Each of the at least one minimum bounding shape may correspond to a data object associated with a leaf node of the index structure. Coordinates of a point of the at least one minimum bounding shape may be associated with a set of first values to produce a relative representation of the at least one minimum bounding shape. The set of first values may be calculated relative to coordinates of a reference point of the reference minimum bounding shape such that each of the set of first values comprises a first number of significant bits fewer than a second number of significant bits representing a second value associated with a corresponding one of absolute coordinates of the point.

A scheme for accessing an index structure using a reference minimum bounding shape is disclosed. In one example embodiment, a reference minimum bounding shape that encloses two or more minimum bounding shapes may be identified from an index structure stored in memory. Each of the two or more minimum bounding shapes may correspond to a data object associated with a corresponding leaf node of the index structure. In one example embodiment, the index structure may be accessed using the reference minimum bounding shape. In one example embodiment, at least one minimum bounding shape of the two or more minimum bounding shapes may be represented in a relative representation calculated relative to the reference minimum bounding shape. Also disclosed are a method, a system and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for accomplishing the same scheme as described above.

A parallel logging and recovery scheme for highly available main-memory database systems is presented. A preferred embodiment called parallel redo-only logging (“PROL”) combines physical logging and selective replay of redo-only log records. During physical logging, log records are generated with an update sequence number representing the sequence of database update. The log records are replayed selectively during recovery based on the update sequence number. Since the order of replaying log records doesn't matter in physical logging, PROL makes parallel operations possible. Since the physical logging does not depend on the state of the object to which the log records are applied, the present invention also makes it easy to construct a log-based hot standby system.

Embodiments of the invention may provide for a long delay generator for the spectrum sensing of cognitive radio systems. The long delay generator may include an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), memory element, and Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). The memory element may utilize shift register bank or Random-Access Memory (RAM) cells. The long delay generator may provide for a selectable delay by digitizing the received signal, delaying the received signal in the digital domain, and reconstructing the delayed signal as an analog. The analog delayed signal may then be compared or otherwise correlated with the original input signal using an analog auto-correlation technique to determine whether a meaningful signal type has been identified or otherwise detected.

A differential RF input signal drives the plus and minus terminals of a center tapped primary winding, which couples the differential RF input signal to the plus and minus terminals of a center tapped secondary winding. From the secondary winding, the coupled, differential RF signal drives a double-balanced mixer core operating in response to a differential local oscillator signal. The output of the mixer core is a differential IF signal representative of the differential RF input signal down-converted at the local oscillator frequency. A step reduction in gain associated with the RF input signal may be implemented using bypass circuitry coupled across the primary of the transformer, wherein a relatively small resistance or impedance is coupled across the primary to effectively reduce the load of the differential amplifiers driving the primary.

A butane fuel supply container for a cooking stove, the container has a thin side wall held rigid by the vapor pressure of the fuel, but the side wall can be finger deformed when the can has been depressurized or hand crushed with the exit valve of the container open, the vapor therein being expelled as the container is deformed or crushed. The vapor tube has a vapor entrance in the vapor pocket above the pool of liquid fuel when the container is correctly oriented in the stove. The vapor tube passes vapor through a valve at the dome of the container.
