20100104006 | REAL-TIME NETWORK VIDEO PROCESSING - An embodiment is a method and apparatus to process video frames. An entropy decoder performs entropy decoding on a bitstream of a video frame extracted from a network frame. The entropy decoder generates discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients representing a picture block in the video frame. The entropy decoder is configured for serial operations. A graphics processing unit (GPU) performs image decoding using the DCT coefficients. The GPU is configured for parallel operations. | 04-29-2010 |
20100106562 | USER-TARGETED CONTENT PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD - According to one embodiment of the invention, a method is devised for tailoring downloaded content to the requesting user by upon receiving a message requesting content. The message includes information that provides information about a user requesting the content. Before receipt by the requesting user, the content is modified by inserting user-targeted information directly within the content. The user-targeted information is retrieved using the information. Thereafter, the modified content is transmitted to a device controlled by the requesting user. | 04-29-2010 |
20100106770 | DYNAMICALLY ADAPTIVE NETWORK-BASED DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD - According to one embodiment of the invention, a method is devised for tailoring downloaded content to the requesting device by receiving attribute parameters associated with a device that initiates a request for downloaded content. The attribute parameters are values that identify specific characteristics of the device. Thereafter, the content is modified according to the attributes parameters, and thereafter, the modified content is transmitted to the device. | 04-29-2010 |
20100106849 | NETWORK-ATTACHED MEDIA PLUG-IN - An embodiment is a method and apparatus to provide a network-attached media plug-in. A network interface interfaces with a client and a server. The network interface receives an input from the client requesting content from the server. The client has a network plug-in interface. A network processor extracts a media stream from the requested content. A multimedia processor dynamically modifies the media stream according to the input from the client. | 04-29-2010 |
20100211983 | VIRTUAL PRIVATE CONTENT DELIVERY NETWORK AND METHOD THEREOF - Embodiments of systems and methods of video deduplication, cache, and virtual private content delivery network are described herein. In one embodiment of the invention, a virtual private content delivery network is implemented to allow for private data to be securely sent over a network systems such as a content delivery network or cloud computing services or a cache. In yet another embodiment, bandwidth usage is curtailed using a virtual private content delivery network that backs up data which originates from the Internet on a signal module. | 08-19-2010 |
20100211987 | VIDEO DEDUPLICATION, CACHE, AND VIRTUAL PRIVATE CONTENT DELIVERY NETWORK - Embodiments of systems and methods of video deduplication, cache, and virtual private content delivery network are described herein. In one embodiment of the invention, the bandwidth traffic between an access module and a signal module may be reduced by making a determination at the signal module that the requested video data is redundant. According to another embodiment of the invention, the determination of whether the requested video data is redundant is performed at the access module. In one embodiment, a cache module and a signal module are used to decrease bandwidth usage over the Internet. In another embodiment, the cache module makes the determination of whether the requested data is redundant to efficiently route data. In one embodiment, a virtual private content delivery network is implemented to allow for private data to be securely sent over a network systems such as a content delivery network or cloud computing services or a cache. In yet another embodiment, bandwidth usage is curtailed using a virtual private content delivery network that backs up data which originates from the Internet on a signal module. | 08-19-2010 |
20110270800 | Global Deduplication File System - Embodiments of methods and systems implementing global deduplication file systems are described. In one embodiment of the invention, a method and system implements a global deduplication file system between a plurality of interconnected systems located in different locations globally by making use of the deduplication dictionary included in metadata being periodically snapshot. In yet another embodiment of the invention, a method implements a global deduplication file system between a plurality of interconnected systems located in different locations globally and provides appropriate read/write locks. | 11-03-2011 |
20110270803 | Cloud Commands - An apparatus and a method for delegating commands for a network attached storage system is described. A command permission associated with a command to be executed on a Network Attached Storage (NAS) server is delegated to a user of a NAS client having a mounted network filesystem of the NAS server. The command is issued through the filesystem of the NAS client. | 11-03-2011 |
20110270892 | Application Network Storage - An application programming interface (API) interfaces to an application having a data file of an arbitrary size. The application has parameters characterizing the application. An externalizing provider externalizes the data file. An application network storage (ANS) subsystem saves the data file according to the parameters of the application and the arbitrary size of the data file. | 11-03-2011 |
20110271067 | Efficient Cloud Network Attached Storage - Snapshots of data and metadata associated with the data are created. The snapshot of the data is separate from the snapshot of the associated metadata. The snapshot of metadata is maintained locally in a cloud network attached storage (NAS) and globally. The snapshot of data is maintained according to an accessibility metric. | 11-03-2011 |

20130117240 | ACCESSING CACHED DATA FROM A PEER CLOUD CONTROLLER IN A DISTRIBUTED FILESYSTEM - The disclosed embodiments provide a system that archives data for a distributed filesystem. Two or more cloud controllers collectively manage distributed filesystem data that is stored in one or more cloud storage systems; the cloud controllers cache and ensure data consistency for the stored data. During operation, a cloud controller receives a request from a client for a data block of a file stored in the distributed filesystem. Upon determining that the requested data block is not currently cached in the cloud controller, the cloud controller sends a peer cache request for the requested data block to a peer cloud controller in the distributed filesystem. | 05-09-2013 |
20130339407 | AVOIDING CLIENT TIMEOUTS IN A DISTRIBUTED FILESYSTEM - The disclosed embodiments disclose techniques that facilitate of avoiding client timeouts in a distributed filesystem. Multiple cloud controllers collectively manage distributed filesystem data that is stored in one or more cloud storage systems; the cloud controllers ensure data consistency for the stored data, and each cloud controller caches portions of the distributed filesystem in a local storage pool. During operation, a cloud controller receives from a client system a request for a data block in a target file that is stored in the distributed filesystem. Although the cloud controller is already caching the requested data block, the cloud controller delays transmission of the cached data block; this additional delay gives the cloud controller more time to access uncached data blocks for the target file from a cloud storage system, thereby ensuring that subsequent requests of such data blocks do not exceed a timeout interval on the client system. | 12-19-2013 |
