The program code selects just in time (JIT) statistics relevant for use by a cost optimizer to generate a plan file for executing the user query by determining, based on JIT metadata in a JIT statistics cache, if JIT statistics generated responsive to an earlier event are these JIT statistics, and based on determining that the JIT statistics generated responsive to the earlier event are these JIT statistics, selects these JIT statistics to generate the plan file. The program code utilizes the cost optimizer to generate the plan file based on these JIT statistics. The program code executes the user query in the target database based on the plan file.

Abstract

Computer implemented methods, systems, and computer program products include program code executing on a processor(s) that obtain a query comprising a JOIN statement that references two or more tables in the one or more remote databases. The program code determines, for each table of the two or more tables, whether executing the JOIN statement utilizes system resources above a pre-defined allotment. Based on determining, for at least one table the program code generates a filter for the at least one table based on an intersection between predicates in the query. The program code applies the filer to the at least one table to fetch results for the query and exclude unrelated data from the fetching.

Abstract

Embodiments herein describe techniques for a host to provide TX packets to a shared adapter that then uses a NIC to forward the TX packet to a network. In one embodiment, the host creates or fills in one or more TX storage block page entries (SBPE) for the TX packet and stores an index of the TX SBPE in host memory. The host memory can also store an initiative state that tracks whether the shared adapter is currently processing TX packets. If not, the host can issue an interrupt to the shared adapter, along with the index associated with the TX SBPE. The shared adapter can then fetch the TX SBPE from host memory and program the NIC to transmit the TX packet.

Abstract

Embodiments herein describe techniques for identifying excess antennas (or antenna diodes) in a IC design using computer software tools. An IC design can be changed for any number of reasons, which can change the number of antennas that are required to sufficiently protect the IC from damage during the fabrication process. Currently, a chip designer would use a ratio to determine whether a portion of the IC (e.g., a macro) has too many or too few antennas. The embodiments herein describe techniques where computer software tools identify excess antennas for the designer. The designer can then decide whether to remove these antennas. In another embodiment, the computer software tools may automatically remove some or all of the identified excess antennas, without input from the chip designer.

Abstract

A pulse limiter circuit of a phase-locked loop (PLL) receives, from a phase frequency detector of the PLL, first second input pulses, where pulse widths of the first and second input pulses indicate whether a reference clock signal leads or lags a feedback clock signal. The pulse limiter circuit determines whether a pulse width of the first or second input pulse is greater than a selected duration indicative of transient phase jitter. Based on determining the pulse width of the first or second input pulse is greater than the selected duration, the pulse limiter circuit sets a pulse width of a first output pulse equal to a pulse width of a second output pulse width and outputs the first and second output pulses to a charge pump of the PLL, such that no phase adjustment to the feedback clock signal is made based on the first and second input pulses.

Abstract

Embodiments herein describe techniques for a host to provide TX packets to a shared adapter that then uses a NIC to forward the TX packet to a network. In one embodiment, the host creates or fills in one or more TX storage block page entries (SBPE) for the TX packet and stores an index of the TX SBPE in host memory. The host memory can also store an initiative state that tracks whether the shared adapter is currently processing TX packets. If not, the host can issue an interrupt to the shared adapter, along with the index associated with the TX SBPE. The shared adapter can then fetch the TX SBPE from host memory and program the NIC to transmit the TX packet.

Abstract

In an integrated circuit design, slack on a signal path of an integrated circuit design can be apportioned in order to accelerate design refinement. According to one method, timing analysis of the signal path of the integrated circuit design is performed. Estimated (as opposed to actual) slack on the signal path is determined through content-based analysis of components of the signal path based on elimination of timing inefficiencies within the components. The estimated slack is then proportionally apportioned among the components of the signal path for use in a subsequent iteration of design refinement.

Abstract

A method, computer program product, and computer system to control an exporting and importing of reactive power by nodes of a network. One node of the network (capable of exporting Q units of reactive power to the network) and N nodes of the network (each capable of importing reactive power from the network) are identified. Initially, Q > 0 or Q < 0. The N nodes are sorted in ascending order of relative distance between the one node and each of the N nodes. A loop over the sorted N nodes is performed. A next iteration of the loop includes: sending a first and second electromagnetic signal to the first node and a next node, directing the first node and the next node to export an amount Qʹ of reactive power and to import an amount of reactive power, respectively; and updating Q via Q = Q - Qʹ.

Abstract

Mechanisms are provided to consolidate event data structures in an electronic calendar. An event data structure for an event is received and features are extracted from the event data structure and another having an overlapping temporal location in the electronic calendar. The event data structure is classified as to whether it is duplicative of the other event data structure and the event data structures are rendered based on the classification. This rendering may involve consolidating the event data structures into a consolidated event data structure if they are duplicative, and prioritizing the event data structures relative to each other if they are not duplicative.
