A high-speed memory system is disclosed for use in supporting a directory-based cache coherency protocol. The memory system includes at least one data system for storing data, and a corresponding directory system for storing the corresponding cache coherency information. Each data storage operation involves a block transfer operation performed to multiple sequential addresses within the data system. Each data storage operation occurs in conjunction with an associated read-modify-write operation performed on cache coherency information stored within the corresponding directory system. Multiple ones of the data storage operations may be occurring within one or more of the data systems in parallel. Likewise, multiple ones of the read-modify-write operations may be performed to one or more of the directory systems in parallel. The transfer of address, control, and data signals for these concurrently performed operations occurs in an interleaved manner. The use of block transfer operations in combination with the interleaved transfer of signals to memory systems prevents the overhead associated with the read-modify-write operations from substantially impacting system performance. This is true even when data and directory systems are implemented using the same memory technology.

Synchronization software in a computer operating system evaluates with respect to an exposure goal the ages of byte stream files queued for synchronization, and dynamically adjusts synchronization ("sync") capacity in response to the evaluation. The synchronization of byte stream files occurs at rates responsive to the sync capacity. Several parameters are used to adjust sync capacity: a lead time, the number of active sync tasks, and the priority of the sync tasks. These parameters are adjusted in a manner to impact system performance to the least extent possible.

A method and system for automatically updating and synchronizing contact center agent skill data maintained in a central agent skill database with a routing system based upon skill-changing events triggered in skill-impacting systems. Contact center agent skills may be maintained in a skill database for a set of agents. A skill-impacting system (such as an education system, a satisfaction system or a metrics system) may send skill/capability data for an agent. The agent's profile in the skill database may be updated based on the received skill data. Either immediately, when triggered by an event, or at a predetermined interval, a routing system's routing logic may be synchronized with the new data in the agent's profile. When the contact center receives a contact (such as a phone call, an email, a web chat, an instant message, or a fax) from a customer, processing logic in the routing system may select a best-fit agent based on availability and skill data from the agent profiles.

A self-managing workload repository infrastructure (or “AWR” for Automatic workload repository) which is useful for a database server to collect and manage useful system performance statistics. The AWR runs automatically to collect performance data about the operation of the database system, and stores the data that it captures into the database. The collection process is done inside the database, and the collection process is highly efficient as data is retrieved directly from the shared memory of the database kernel. The data captured allows both system level and user level analysis to be performed without unduly impacting system performance, e.g., by eliminating or reducing the requirement to repeat the workload in order to diagnose problems. The AWR is configured to automatically capture snapshots of statistics data on a periodic basis as well as purge stale data on a periodic basis. The captured performance data includes one or more of the top N (e.g., 20 or 30) statistics for activities involving a large set of objects, time-based statistics, cumulative statistics, sampled data and metrics and other data types.

An energy absorption impact system for vehicle bumpers and the like includes a mounting plate with a central opening therethrough, and a generally box-shaped sheet metal crush member. The crush member has a top wall, a bottom wall and opposite sidewalls arranged in a generally frustro-pyramidal shape, defining a large end connected with a vehicle bumper, and a small end connected with the mounting plate about the central opening. Impact on the vehicle bumper inelastically deforms the walls of the crush member toward the central opening in the mounting plate to absorb energy associated with the impact.
