20130036069 | Quality Control Utilizing Automated And Manual Determinations - A reputation quality control environment and methodology utilizes periodic automated product scoring and timely manual product reviews to ensure the accuracy of product rankings. The reputation quality control environment has a reputation scale that is divided into one or more reputation bands with product placement within each successively higher band signifying a more desirable product. Products included within the quality control environment are periodically automatically scored based on one or more product characteristic values. Products whose reputation score renders them eligible for a new, higher reputation band are manually reviewed prior to being allowed into the higher band. Products whose product reputation score is on a trajectory that indicates the product will likely attempt to enter a new, higher reputation band within a predetermined timeframe are timely manually reviewed so that acceptable products can be instantaneously allowed into the new band when their reputation score provides for it. | 02-07-2013 |
20130212270 | Resource Access Throttling - Techniques for resource access throttling are described. In implementations, access to a network resource can be controlled based on a variety of factors, such as a type of user requesting access to the network resource. For example, consider a scenario where an online content store is preparing to launch. To prevent resources associated with the online content store from being overwhelmed by the number of requests for access when the store is launched, techniques can be implemented to throttle the number of requests that are granted. For instance, requests for access can be throttled based on different user types. | 08-15-2013 |

20090031317 | SCHEDULING THREADS IN MULTI-CORE SYSTEMS - Scheduling of threads in a multi-core system is performed using per-processor queues for each core to hold threads with fixed affinity for each core. Cores are configured to pick the highest priority thread among the global run queue, which holds threads without affinity, and their respective per-processor queue. To select between two threads with same priority on both queues, the threads are assigned sequence numbers based on their time of arrival. The sequence numbers may be weighted for either queue to prioritize one over the other. | 01-29-2009 |
20090031318 | APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY IN MULTI-CORE SYSTEMS - Scheduling of threads in a multi-core system running various legacy applications along with multi-core compatible applications is configured such that threads from older single thread applications are assigned fixed affinity. Threads from multi-thread/single core applications are scheduled such that one thread at a time is made available to the cores based on the thread priority preventing conflicts and increasing resource efficiency.

20090328180 | Granting Least Privilege Access For Computing Processes - Embodiments provide a security infrastructure that may be configured to run on top of an existing operating system to control what resources can be accessed by an applications and what APIs an application can call. Security decisions are made by taking into account both the current thread's identity and the current thread's call chain context to enable minimal privilege by default. The current thread context is captured and a copy of it is created to be used to perform security checks asynchronously. Every thread in the system has an associated identity. To obtain access to a particular resource, all the callers on the current thread are analyzed to make sure that each caller and thread has access to that resource. Only when each caller and thread has access to that resource is the caller given access to that resource. | 12-31-2009 |
20100077185 | MANAGING THREAD AFFINITY ON MULTI-CORE PROCESSORS - Embodiments of the invention intelligently associate processes with core processors in a multi-core processor. The core processors are asymmetrical in that the core processors support different features or provide different resources. The features or resources are published by the core processors or otherwise identified (e.g., via a query). Responsive to a request to execute an instruction associated with a thread, one of the core processors is selected based on the resource or feature supporting execution of the instruction. The thread is assigned to the selected core processor such that the selected core processor executes the instruction and subsequent instructions from the assigned thread. In some embodiments, the resource or feature is emulated until an activity limit is reached upon which the thread assignment occurs. | 03-25-2010 |

A first memory segment can be allocated as cache memory in response to a cache miss. Cache size can be dynamically increased by allocating additional first memory segments as cache memory in response to subsequent cache misses. Cache memory size can be dynamically decreased by reallocating first memory cache segments for use by computing device components. The cache memory can be a cache for a second memory accessible to the computing device. The computing device can be a mobile device. The first memory can be an embedded memory and the second memory can comprise embedded, removable or external memory, or any combination thereof. The maximum size of the cache memory scales with the size of the first memory. | 06-07-2012 |
