A method and apparatus for improving forwarding information base (FIB) lookup performance. An FIB is partitioned into a multiple portions that are distributed across segments of a multi-channel SRAM store to form a distributed FIB that is accessible to a network processor. Primary entries corresponding to a linked list of FIB entries are stored in a designated FIB portion. Secondary FIB entries are stored in other FIB portions (a portion of the secondary FIB entries may also be stored in the designated primary entry portion), enabling multiple FIB entries to be concurrently accessed via respective channels. A portion of the secondary FIB entries may also be stored in a secondary (e.g., DRAM) store. A depth level threshold is set to limit the number of accesses to a linked list of FIB entries by a network processor micro-engine thread, wherein an access depth that would exceed the threshold generates an exception that is handled by a separate execution thread to maintain line-rate throughput.

A technique for updating collection-valued and other complex structured columns in a nested table using a nested extension of an UPDATE statement that uses syntax and semantics to modify collection-valued columns in a way that is analogous to the syntax and semantics of the UPDATE statement that is used to modify scalar-valued columns of the table (called the outer UPDATE). Using the same syntactic and semantic constructs as the table at the outer level allows an existing implementation that processes modifications to relational tables to reuse its implementation techniques for processing outer updates to modify collection-valued columns as well. The UPDATE extensions enable the specification of updates to nested collections embedded at arbitrary levels of depth in the object model. The new syntax is embedded inside the outer UPDATE statement in a way that parallels the structure of the data itself and thus maps more directly to the user's conceptual model of the data. The method for implementing the UPDATE extensions uses a change descriptor, which is a data structure that aggregates substantially all changes, both scalar and collection-valued into a single value that can be applied to the changed collection-valued column. This technique can also be used for modifications to other kinds of complex-structured columns such as objects or xml. The change descriptor includes hierarchical information for the cell, thereby enabling efficient application of multiple updates at various granularity levels in a single operation and enabling the implementation of efficient index maintenance algorithms by updating only the indexes affected by the UPDATE operation and updating only those index rows that were affected by the UPDATE operation.

The generated data are then processed with inversion techniques to form a velocity model for seismic data analysis.
