Merging can include aligning histogram step boundaries across the compute node histograms. Merging can include aggregating histogram step-level information, such as, for example, equality rows and average range rows (or alternately equality rows, range rows, and distinct range rows), across the compute node histograms into a single global step. Merging can account for distinct values that do not appear at one or more compute nodes as well as distinct values that are counted at multiple compute nodes. A resulting global histogram can be coalesced to reduce the step count. | 04-24-2014 |
20140114952 | OPTIMIZING QUERIES OF PARALLEL DATABASES - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for optimizing queries of parallel databases. Queries can be partially optimized at an optimizer that is unaware of its use to optimize queries for parallel processing. The optimizer can produce a data structure (e.g., a SQL Server MEMO) that encapsulates a logical serial plan search space. The logical serial plan search space may not incorporate any notion of parallelism into the plan space itself. A parallel-aware optimizer can parallelize the logical serial plan search space by augmenting the data structure (e.g., transforming the SQL Server MEMO into a parallel MEMO). Augmentation can be with data movement operations that move data associated one or more compute nodes in a distributed architecture. Cost estimates can be calculated for the operations contained in the parallelized data structure. The parallel plan with the lowest estimated cost can be selected for the query. | 04-24-2014 |

20100180264 | HANDLING MULTIPLE DEFINITION OF TYPES - User assemblies can be created by a compiler that can handle more than one type definition during execution. Local copies are created for respective authoritative types in a code library, and the local copies are marked with a local type identifier. An authoritative type identifier (e.g., a globally unique identifier (GUID)) is copied from the authoritative type to the local type, and functions and properties associated with the local type are also copied from the authoritative type. Authoritative types are resolved for requested types when a local assembly references a local type from a compiled user assembly. The local type can be identified by a local type identifier, and an authoritative type can be retrieved from the code library that has a same authoritative type identifier as the requested type. A local copy of the retrieved authoritative type can be copied to the local assembly under compilation. The compiler can then emit user assemblies that comprise merely local types. | 07-15-2010 |
20110224939 | INTEGRATED TOOL FOR PERSISTING DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT TEST SCENARIO INFORMATION - Architecture includes an integrated tool that allows a tester to automatically persist test plan information in association with related content while the tester is interacting with that content in an IDE.

In previous solutions, references to existing content are often lost due to inexact or missing descriptions. Formal associations allow for reuse of valuable content and avoid unnecessary recreation. The tool is integrated with the IDE, and thus, does not necessitate that the tester manually type or write descriptions of intent and expectations. This reduces the test plan cost significantly. The tool also persists information in a formal, self-describing format that enables easy consumption by either human testers or secondary software applications (e.g., for the purposes of identifying plans, performing associated actions and verifying expected behavior). | 09-15-2011 |

20080224689 | Phase measurement device using inphase and quadrature components for phase estimation - A phasemeter for estimating the phase of a signal. For multi-tone signals, multiple phase estimates may be provided. An embodiment includes components operating in the digital domain, where a sampled input signal is multiplied by cosine and sine terms to provide estimates of the inphase and quadrature components. The quadrature component provides an error signal that is provided to a feedback loop, the feedback loop providing a model phase that tends to track the phase of a tone in the input signal. The cosine and sine terms are generated from the model phase. The inphase and quadrature components are used to form a residual phase, which is added to the model phase to provide an estimate of the phase of the input signal. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 09-18-2008 |
20090284249 | Sensor, Method and System of Monitoring Transmission Lines - An apparatus, method, and system for measuring the magnetic field produced by phase conductors in multi-phase power lines. The magnetic field measurements are used to determine the current load on the conductors. The magnetic fields are sensed by coils placed sufficiently proximate the lines to measure the voltage induced in the coils by the field without touching the lines. The x and y components of the magnetic fields are used to calculate the conductor sag, and then the sag data, along with the field strength data, can be used to calculate the current load on the line and the phase of the current. The sag calculations of this invention are independent of line voltage and line current measurements. The system applies a computerized fitter routine to measured and sampled voltages on the coils to accurately determine the values of parameters associated with the overhead phase conductors. | 11-19-2009 |
