A system for communicating with multiple vehicles or other electronic devices that share a common media access control (MAC) or other address is disclosed. Upon receiving a certificate signing request (CSR) from a connected device and determining that the device does not have a unique address, the system will generate a unique address for the device and embedding the unique addresses in a certificate, sign the certificate, and transfer the certificate to the device. Then, when the system communicates with the device, the system may use that unique address to identify the device.

Method of re-assigning address to network device

In a distributed system where a client's call to commit a transaction occurs outside the transaction's lock-hold interval, computation of timestamp information for the transaction is moved to a client library, while ensuring that no conflicting reads or writes are performed between a time of the computation and acquiring all locks for the transaction. The transaction is committed in phases, with each phase being initiated by the client library. Timestamp information is added to the locks to ensure that timestamps are generated during lock-hold intervals. An increased number of network messages is thereby overlapped with a commit wait period in which a write in a distributed database is delayed in time to ensure concurrency in the database.

Reducing commit wait in a distributed multiversion database by reading the clock earlier

A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for identifying a storage group in a distributed storage system into which data is to be stored is presented. A data structure including information relating to storage groups in a distributed storage system is maintained, where a respective entry in the data structure for a respective storage group includes placement metrics for the respective storage group. A request to identify a storage group into which data is to be stored is received from a computer system. The data structure is used to determine an identifier for a storage group whose placement metrics satisfy a selection criterion. The identifier for the storage group whose placement metrics satisfy the selection criterion is returned to the computer system.
