Microsoft, Yahoo! talks: In the "off-again" phase
News With lower query volume, it attracts fewer advertisers and thus gets less revenue per query. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said Thursday that its on-again, off-again talks with Yahoo! are firmly in the "off-again" phase. [25 Jul 2008]
SMS Custom Reporting for Dell PowerEdge Server Inventory
White Paper There are four phases of this process: modifying or creating the sms_def.mof file, creating a Structured Query Language (SQL) database, creating a Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 report, running the SMS 2003 report. [25 Jul 2008]
Carrabba's Streamlines Accounting With High Speed Scanning and Document Retrieval
White Paper To locate a particular invoice, the user at Carrabba's would query the system, the appropriate DVD would be selected and pulled from the jukebox, after which the document could be displayed. Carrabba's Accounting department manages thousands of... [18 Jul 2008]
QoS-Based Data Access and Placement for Federated Systems
White Paper By transparently integrating such diverse data sources, underlying differences in DBMSs, languages, and data models can be hidden and users can use a single data model and a single high-level query language to access the unified data through a... [17 Jul 2008]
Advances in Data Warehouse Performance: I/O Elimination in DB2
White Paper Read this paper to learn how to reduce query response time from hours to seconds, support real time data warehousing, optimize your storage, and lower operating costs. WinterCorp analyzes IBM's DB2 Warehouse and how it addresses twin challenges... [13 Jul 2008]
Routing Indices for Peer-to-Peer Systems
White Paper If a node cannot answer a query, it forwards the query to a subset of its neighbors, based on its local RI, rather than by selecting neighbors at random or by flooding the network by forwarding the query to all neighbors. [11 Jul 2008]
A Routing Underlay for Overlay Networks
White Paper Instead, it proposes a shared routing underlay that overlay services query. This paper argues that designing overlay services to independently probe the Internet - with the goal of making informed application-specific routing decisions - is an... [11 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing Distributed Inverted Files
White Paper This paper present a comparison of scheduling algorithms applied to the context of load balancing the query traffic on distributed inverted les. The paper proposes a novel method to formulate the cost of query processing so that these algorithms... [10 Jul 2008]
A Cooperative, Self-Configuring High-Availability Solution for Stream Processing
White Paper The approach relies on a novel fine-grained check-pointing model that allows query fragments at each server to be backed up at multiple other servers and recovered collectively (in parallel) when there is a failure. [10 Jul 2008]
Rendezvous Points-Based Scalable Content Discovery With Load Balancing
White Paper This system deploys Load Balancing Matrices (LBM) to dynamically balance registration and query load across resolver nodes to maximize system utilization. This system utilizes existing has-based algorithms for content and query distribution within... [10 Jul 2008]
Dynamic Load Balancing for Distributed Search
White Paper A key challenge with mapping the desired computation to the available resources is that the most efficient distribution depends on several factors: relative power and number of compute nodes; network bandwidth between the compute nodes; the cost... [10 Jul 2008]
Experiences With Load Balancing and Caching for Semantic Web Applications
White Paper It presupposes that for a particular KB there exist many possible query servers. This paper considers applications which generate queries w.r.t.many different knowledge bases. In order to successfully build applications that exploit these KB... [10 Jul 2008]
Load-Balancing and Caching for Collection Selection Architectures
White Paper To address the rapid growth of the Internet, modern Web search engines have to adopt distributed organizations, where the collection of indexed documents is partitioned among several servers, and query answering is performed as a parallel and... [10 Jul 2008]
Effective Load-Balancing of Peer-to-Peer Systems
White Paper Dynamically changing popularities of data items and skewed user query patterns in P2P systems may cause some of the peers to become bottlenecks, thereby resulting in severe load imbalance and consequently increased user response times. [10 Jul 2008]
Distributed, Secure Load Balancing With Skew, Heterogeneity, and Churn
White Paper Instead, researchers have found heavy-tailed query distributions (skew), high rates of node join and leave (churn), and wide variation in node network and storage capacity (heterogeneity). Numerous proposals exist for load balancing in peer-to-peer... [10 Jul 2008]
