Abstract: A method of generating three-dimensional (3D) spikes. The method comprising receiving a signal comprising time-series data and generating a first two- dimensional (2D) grid. Generating the first 2D grid comprises mapping segments of the time-series data to respective positions of the first 2D grid, and generating, for each position, a spike train corresponding to the respective mapped segment. The method further comprises generating a second 2D grid including performing, for each position, a mathematical operation on the spike train of the corresponding position of the first 2D grid. The method further comprises generating a third 2D grid including performing spatial filtering on the positions of the second 2D grid. The method further comprises generating a 3D grid based on a combination of the first 2D grid, the second 2D grid, and the third 2D grid. The 3D grid comprises one or more 3D spikes.

Abstract: Methods and systems for generating database statistics. Table statistics in a metadata catalog of a source database system are observed, statistics generation costs utilizing a target database system are estimated, and source statistics generation costs utilizing a source database system are estimated. The statistics generation costs are compared and statistics generation queries by the target database system are triggered in response to the statistics generation costs utilizing the target database system having a predefined relationship with the source statistics generation costs utilizing the source database system. The statistics generation queries are performed by the target database system in response to the triggering by the source database system. The generated statistics are sent from the target database system to the source database system, the table statistics in a metadata catalog are updated based on the generated statistics, and the updated table statistics are used to optimize a query plan.

Abstract: Power distribution fabrics and methods of forming the same include forming a first layer of parallel conductive lines, having a first width. At least one additional layer of conductive lines is formed over the first layer of conductive lines, with the conductive lines of each successive layer in the at least one additional layer having a different orientation and a different width relative to the conductive lines of the preceding layer.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining a set of target items to be annotated for training a machine learning application. The method comprises providing a training data set with a set of data samples and an auto-encoder with a classifier. The auto-encoder comprises an embedding model that maps the set of data samples to a set of compressed feature vectors. The set of compressed feature vectors define a compressed feature matrix. Further provided are: a definition of a graph associated to the compressed feature matrix, applying a clustering-algorithm to identify node clusters of the graph and applying a centrality algorithm to identify central nodes of the node clusters, retrieving from an annotator node labels for the central nodes, propagating the annotated node labels to other nodes of the graph and performing a training of the embedding model and the classifier with the annotated and the propagated node labels.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving an authentication response message at an initiator channel on an initiator node from a responder channel on a responder node to establish a secure communication, the receiving at a local key manager (LKM) executing on the initiator node. A state check is performed based on a security association of the initiator node and the responder node. A validation of the authentication response message is performed. An identifier of a selected encryption algorithm is extracted from the authentication response message. The initiator channel requests to communicate with the responder channel based at least in part on a successful state check, a successful validation, and the selected encryption algorithm.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for customizing integration flow templates. The method can include monitoring user integration with a plurality of systems external to an integration system to read data changes at the external systems and identifying at least one event pair, wherein each event pair is between two external systems having a same data change event in the two external systems. The identified event pairs are filtered for inclusion in an events chain and the external systems of the filtered event pairs are ordered in the events chain based on timestamps of the data change events. The method outputs integration flow templates based on the ordered external systems of the event pairs that define a flow trigger and at least one flow node.

Abstract: A computer system may initialize one or more workloads. The computer system may operate in a boost mode and a regular mode. The boost mode may include an adjustment of a pacing setting and an adjustment of group availability targets for executing the one or more workloads. The computer system may identify that the boost mode is enabled during a system start of the computer system. The computer system may identify that the pacing setting is operating in the regular mode. The computer system may dynamically increase the pacing setting. The increase of the pacing setting may enable an increased processor utilization of the computer system by the one or more workloads. The increased processor utilization may generate a concurrent processing of the one or more workloads. The computer system may determine an end of the boost mode and reset the pacing setting.

Abstract: An interconnect structure, and a method for forming the same includes forming recess within a dielectric layer and conformally depositing a barrier layer within the recess. A cobalt-infused ruthenium liner is formed above the barrier layer, the cobalt containing ruthenium liner formed by stacking a second liner above a first liner, the first liner positioned above the barrier layer. The first liner includes ruthenium while the second liner includes cobalt. Cobalt atoms migrate from the second liner to the first liner forming the cobalt-infused ruthenium liner. A conductive material is deposited above the cobalt-infused ruthenium liner to fill the recess followed by a capping layer made of cobalt.
