When searching the storage medium, time is not wasted searching what appears to be a seemingly endless list of filenames or subdirectory names within any single directory. A client computer can have requests for content fulfilled quicker, and the network site can reduce the load on hardware or software components. While the method and system can be used for nearly any storage media, the method and system are well suited for cache memories used with web servers. | 2010-12-02 |
20100306315 | Session-Based Processing Method and System - A log file processing system sorts records from large log files and groups them by session without making a complete copy of the log files by capturing a subset of the log files in a sliding memory window and identifying all records in the window that form a complete user session. Records belonging to a complete session are output for analyzing, and the remaining records are output as raw log data for additional processing. Using a ring buffer to implement the sliding memory window, data structures are used to group records by session, to identify completed sessions, and to index into the ring buffer to retrieve records for completed sessions that are to be directly analyzed. Any records remaining in the ring buffer at the end of slide window processing may be output as raw log file data and are processed as incomplete or malformed session records. An embodiment of the log file processing system provides a significant improvement on the speed of data extraction from log files into analyzable session data. | 2010-12-02 |

20100306405 | Prefetch Optimization of the Communication of Data Using Descriptor Lists - The size and location of an envelope of a data block are included in the posting to a second device of a descriptor list entry for the data block, thus allowing the second device to read the data block without having to first read the descriptor list entry. This envelope may be the same size and location of the data block, or this envelope may be larger than the data block. For example, as the size of the posted register may not be large enough to also store all of the bits required to specify the exact size and position of the data block, a larger data block envelope is defined without specifying the exact low order bits of the size and/or location of the data block envelope. | 2010-12-02 |
