Abstract: A method of dynamically balancing a load on a fully connected grid (FCG) in a peer-to-peer environment includes determining if a first number of peers connected in a first FCG is greater than a preselected limit. If the first number of peers connected to the first FCG is greater than the preselected limit, then partitioning the first FCG into two or more subdivided FCGs, wherein each of the subdivided FCGs includes at least one peer connection that was previously connected in the first FCG. A subdivided location identifier can also be published for each respective resource included in each peer connection. A system for dynamically balancing a load on a fully connected grid (FCG) in a peer-to-peer environment is also described.

Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for virtualizing access to resources in a distributed peer-to-peer (P2P) network. Specifically, a resource locally managed by a peer in the P2P network can be published such that other peers can identify the peer managing the resource. Any peer requesting access to the resource of another peer establishes communication to the peer managing the resource. After establishing communication, a proxy of the peer managing the resource can establish a proxy interface. The proxy interface, operating on the peer requesting access, permits the peer requesting access to generate command and control data to control the resource. Thus, the peer requesting access believes that it manages the local resource, while in reality, the peer requesting access only has virtualized access to the resource.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于虚拟化分布式对等（P2P）网络中的资源的访问的方法和装置。 具体来说，可以发布由P2P网络中的对等体本地管理的资源，使得其他对等体可以识别管理资源的对等体。 请求访问另一个对等体的资源的任何对等体建立与管理资源的对等体的通信。 建立通信后，管理资源的对等体的代理可以建立代理接口。 在对等体请求访问上操作的代理接口允许对等体请求访问生成命令和控制数据以控制资源。 因此，对等体请求访问认为它管理本地资源，而实际上，对等请求访问仅具有对资源的虚拟访问。

Abstract: A method for recording a sequence of user actions made when interfacing with objects associated with an executable code is provided. In this method, a selection of a level of detail to record when user actions enable interfacing with the objects associated with the executable code is enabled. Subsequently, the sequence of user actions is recorded. The recorded sequence of user actions is defined by the selected level of detail. Thereafter, the recorded sequence of user actions is parsed by applying rules that enable the generation of a defined number of data types. The data types are capable of being utilized by an application that is designed to generate information that is related to one or more of the data types.

Abstract: A system and method for compressing video graphics data are provided. The system and method include generating in a graphics pipeline, from video graphics data modeling objects, vertex data corresponding to the objects, rendering the video graphics data to produce a current frame of pixel data and a reference frame of pixel data, and, based upon the vertex data, defining a search area within the reference frame for calculating a motion vector for a block of pixel data within the current frame. The current frame then is compressed using the motion vector. The use of vertex data from the graphics pipeline to define the search area substantially reduces the amount of searching necessary to generate motion vectors and perform data compression.
