As such, the invention of the present invention improves the ability of the contextual search tool to provide tailored, customized, and relevant search results to the user based not only on the search terms provided by the user, but based on dynamic contextual information that changes as the user takes actions within the contextual search interface. | 05-05-2016 |

20150268984 | PREEMPTIVE GUEST MERGING FOR VIRTUALIZATION HYPERVISORS - Aspects of the present invention provide a solution for managing memory. A method according to an embodiment includes: prior to any storage of a page from a guest in the memory: analyzing the page to compute an identifier for the page; and comparing the computed identifier with other identifiers of other pages currently stored in the memory to find an identical page, wherein a match between the computed identifier and the identifier of one of the other pages currently stored in memory indicates that the page corresponding to the computed identifier and the other page corresponding to the matching identifier are identical; and storing, in the case that an identical page is found, a link to the identical page in a portion of the memory allocated to the guest. | 09-24-2015 |

20130036249 | PREEMPTIVE GUEST MERGING FOR VIRTUALIZATION HYPERVISORS - Aspects of the present invention provide a solution for managing memory in a shared virtual computing environment. A page that is to be stored in the memory of the host in the virtual computing environment is obtained from a guest. The page is analyzed to compute an identifier for the page. This identifier is compared with other identifiers of other pages that are currently stored in the memory to determine whether the identical page is already stored in the memory. If the identical page is currently stored in the memory, a link to that page is stored in the portion of the memory that is allocated to the guest. | 02-07-2013 |
