An on-demand server configured to dynamically control and optimize memory utilization while minimizing access to disk storage by monitoring content addressable memory (CAM) usage so as to remove the content from resident CAM memory and page the same adaptively and to eliminate creating separate files for trick playback of content streamed to a customer. The method and system dynamically uses the current concurrency count of the contents to optimize memory utilization so as to swap content in and out of memory as the concurrency values change in conjunction with an on-demand memory based server to provided advantages of optimizing the usage of server resources.

A cloud access manager obtains input regarding access control for at least one application deployed on a plurality of virtual machine instances in a cloud computing environment; the virtual machine instances are divided into at least first and second access zones. A cloud access manager registrar located in the cloud computing environment registers internet protocol addresses of external clients as seen from the cloud computing environment; at least some of the addresses are assigned to the clients via network address translation (NAT). Session traversal utility for NAT (STUN) is carried out to determine public internet protocol addresses assigned to the clients via NAT. The cloud access manager controls (i) access of the external clients to the plurality of virtual machine instances; and (ii) access of the plurality of virtual machine instances to each other, based on the registered internet protocol addresses, in accordance with the access zones.

A network element including a processor with logic for managing packet queues including a queue of free packet descriptors. Upon the transmission of a packet by a host application, the packet descriptor for the transmitted packet is added to the free packet descriptor queue. If the new free packet descriptor resides in on-chip memory, relative to queue manager logic, it is added to the head of the free packet descriptor queue; if the new free packet descriptor resides in external memory, it is added to the tail of the free packet descriptor queue. Upon a packet descriptor being requested, by a host application, to be associated with valid data to be added to an active packet queue, the queue manager logic pops the packet descriptor currently at the head of the free descriptor queue. In this manner, packet descriptors in on-chip memory are preferentially used relative to packet descriptors in external memory, thus improving system performance.

The at least one predetermined error includes at least one authentication key or component thereof, for authenticating whether the media and/or data is authorized. The method includes the following sequential, non-sequential and/or sequence independent steps: reading the mixed data from the media, detecting the at least one predetermined error from the mixed data, and comparing the at least one predetermined error to the at least one authentication key or component thereof. The method also includes the steps of authenticating the media and/or the data in the mixed data responsive to the comparing, removing the at least one predetermined error from the mixed data resulting in substantially the data, and outputting the data as at least one of audio, video, audio data, video data and digital data substantially free of the at least one predetermined error.

Methods for designing a 6T SRAM cell having greater stability and/or a smaller cell size are provided. A 6T SRAM cell has a pair access transistors (NFETs), a pair of pull-up transistors (PFETs), and a pair of pull-down transistors (NFETs), wherein the access transistors have a higher threshold voltage than the pull-down transistors, which enables the SRAM cell to effectively maintain a logic “0” during access of the cell thereby increasing the stability of the cell, especially for cells during “half select.” Further, a channel width of a pull-down transistor can be reduced thereby decreasing the size of a high performance six transistor SRAM cell without effecting cell the stability during access. And, by decreasing the cell size, the overall design layout of a chip may also be decreased.

The scraper member can be of a different material than the base member to provide various advantages including with respect to its wear resistance. Further, a toolless interconnection is provided for ease in attaching the scraper member to the base member. When worn, the scraper member can be replaced with a new scraper member in an easy and quick fashion.

In a storage system, a plurality of RAID devices are connected to a network, and data is multiplexed to primary data and secondary data by being mirrored among the RAID devices. When a failure of a disk device that can be recovered within the devices owing to the RAID configuration occurs, data of a disk device corresponding to the failed disk device is requested to a RAID device that is its mirror target and the transferred data is written to a spare disk device for the recovery. At the time of the data recovery, an access right to a group of disk devices constituting RAID and an access right to individual disk devices are exclusively controlled with respect to an input and output of the primary data.

A content management system (CMS) provides a way to minimize accesses to a repository when reconstituting a document. When a document is first reconstituted, the CMS reads links in the document, reads the corresponding objects from the repository, then stores the values of those objects in fallback elements in the document. In addition, a list is generated that provides both original links to the objects in the repository and voidable links to those object, and the document is then modified, if needed, to reference the voidable links. When the document needs to be subsequently reconstituted, the repository is queried to determine which of the objects corresponding to the original links have not changed since the last reconstitution. If the object has not changed, the voidable link in the list is invalidated for the object, causing the fallback element to be used without accessing the repository.

The present invention provides a method of minimizing accesses to secondary storage when searching an inverted index for a search term.

Corresponding computer system and program products are also provided.
