Direct access to host memory for guests is disclosed. For example, a system includes a processor, a host memory, a filesystem daemon, a guest including a storage controller, and a filesystem queue accessible to the filesystem daemon and the storage controller. The storage controller receives a file retrieval request associated with a file stored in the host memory and forwards the file retrieval request to the filesystem daemon by adding the file retrieval request to the filesystem queue. The filesystem daemon retrieves the file retrieval request from the filesystem queue, determines a host memory address (HMA) associated with the file, and causes the HMA to be mapped to a guest memory address (GMA). The guest accesses the file in the host memory with the GMA, and later terminates access to the file, where the filesystem daemon is then configured cause the GMA to be unmapped.

To restore consistency of a digital twin database, identifiers with metadata imported from various data sources are processed by an encoder, which computes latent representations of the identifiers that are compared by an efficient similarity metric. If the respective similarity score exceeds a threshold, a match is detected between the identifiers. In that case, the digital twin database is updated by aligning the first identifier and the second identifier. This matching algorithm for equipment identifiers updates the digital twin data automatically and continuously by aligning identifiers which refer to the same piece of equipment. The updates flow directly into the digital twin database, thereby removing the manual effort. Using approximate nearest neighbor methods is highly efficient, especially for large plants. The encoder is implemented as an autoencoder which relies only on unlabeled training data. This unsupervised approach is more suitable for industrial scenarios where labeled data is expensive to create.
