A method for categorizing multiple users of a website based on their respective transition patterns between successive types of user activities is implemented at a computing device having one or more processors and memory. After receiving one or more log files from a data source, the computing device generates respective event transition matrixes for multiple users in accordance with the users' event records such that each element of each respective event transition matrix includes a probability of an occurrence of two consecutive event types A and B for the same user. Based on an analysis of the multiple users' event transition matrixes, the computing device categorizes the multiple users into at least two distinct groups of users and performs one or more operations to the website's user accounts associated with one or more users from one of the groups.

Method and system for website user account management based on event transition matrixes

Methods and systems for watermarking of digital images are presented. In one aspect, a method of embedding information in a digital image includes transforming the digital image to a set of coefficient blocks having coefficients in a frequency domain, embedding a watermark-indicator in one or more of the coefficient blocks, and embedding a watermark in one or more watermark blocks that have a predetermined number of coefficient blocks. The embedded watermark is substantially invisible in the output watermarked digital image. Another aspect is a method of extracting a watermark from a digital image that includes transforming a digital image to a coefficient matrix, determining if the digital image is watermarked based on a predetermined watermark-indicator, and retrieving a watermark from a projected watermark block of a projected watermark block distribution.

Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for providing matching resources. One example method includes identifying example resources, evaluating query logs to determine queries including query terms that resolved to a given example resource, identifying matching resources other than the example resources that also were provided as a solution to the determined queries, filtering the matching resources based on one or more criteria to identify matching resources that are relevant to a consumer, and providing the filtered matching resources for output to the consumer.

Lead generation system and methods

In one implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving information related to users of a social network site and determining a graph for at least a portion of the social network, the graph including a plurality of nodes connected by directional links where each node corresponds to a user having a profile page on the social network and where each directional link corresponds to a user viewing at least an aspect of a profile page for another user. The method can further include identifying first nodes as including content associated with a particular subject of interest, and seeding the identified first nodes with first scores. The method can also include determining second scores for second nodes by propagating the first scores across the social graph based upon third nodes having viewed aspects of profile pages associated with the first nodes and the second nodes; and providing the determined second scores.

In one implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving at information related to users of a social network site, and determining a social network graph for at least a portion of the social network, the graph including a plurality of nodes connected by links, each node corresponding to a user that has a profile page on the social network. The method can also include identifying first nodes from the plurality of nodes as including content associated with a particular subject of interest, and seeding the identified first nodes with first scores. The method can additionally include determining second scores for second nodes based on propagation of the first scores from the first nodes to the second nodes using the links of the social network graph; and providing the determined second scores for the second nodes.

Methods, systems and apparatuses to dynamically balance execution loads on a partitioned system among processor cores or among partitions.

Method for dynamic load balancing on partitioned systems

Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for partitioning memory mapped device configuration space are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a configuration space address storage location, an access map storage location, and addressing logic. The configuration space address storage location is to store a pointer to a memory region to which transactions to configure devices in a partition of a partitioned system are addressed. The access map storage location is to store an access map or a pointer to an access map. The addressing logic is to use the access map to determine whether a configuration transaction from a processor to one of the devices is to be allowed.

Partitioning memory mapped device configuration space

A method of booting up a computer system comprising a first multi-cored processor comprising a first plurality of cores and a second multi-cored processor comprising a second plurality of cores is disclosed. The method may comprise configuring a first partition comprising a first one or more cores from the first plurality of cores and from the second plurality of cores, configuring a second partition comprising a second one or more cores from the first plurality of cores and from the second plurality of cores, and configuring a third partition comprising a third one or more cores from the first plurality of cores and one or more cores from the second plurality of cores.

Booting with sub socket partitioning

A method and apparatus for sharing peripheral devices between multiple execution domains of a hardware platform are described. In one embodiment, the method includes the configuration end-point devices, bridges and interconnects of a hardware platform including at least two execution domains. When a configuration requests is issued from an execution domain, the configuration requests may be intercepted. Hence, the received configuration request is not used to configure the peripheral end-points, bridges or interconnects of the hardware platform. Configuration information decoded from intercepted configuration request may be stored as virtual configuration information. In one embodiment, configuration information is read from a target of the configuration request to identify actual configuration information. This actual configuration information may be stored within a translation table and mapped to the virtual configuration information to enable translation of domain specific addresses to real (actual) addresses. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Embodiments of apparatuses, methods, and systems for guest to host address translations for devices to access memory in a partitioned system are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an interface, partitioning logic, first address translation logic, and second address translation logic. The interface is to receive a request from a device to access memory in a partitioned system. The partitioning logic is to determine whether the device is assigned to a first partition or a second partition. The first address translation logic is to translate a first guest address to a first host address in the first partition. The second address translation logic is to translate a second guest address to a second host address in the second partition.
