Abstract:
A set of ordered predicted completion strings including strings of ideographs are presented to a user as the user enters text in a text entry box (e.g., a browser or a toolbar). The user entered text may include zero or more ideographs followed by one or more phonetic characters, or the entered text may be one or more. The predicted completion strings can be in the form of URLs or query strings. The ordering may be based on any number of factors (e.g., a query's frequency of submission from a community of users). URLs can be ranked based on an importance value of the URL. The sets of ordered predicted completion strings are obtained by matching a fingerprint value of the user's entry string to a fingerprint to table map which contains the set of ordered predicted completion strings. The generation of the ordered prediction strings takes into account multiple phonetic representations of certain strings of ideographs.
Abstract:
In an application execution system having a plurality of application servers, each application server stores a plurality of applications, and has computational resources for executing applications in response to received requests. Each application server also includes instructions for loading a respective application into volatile storage and executing the application in response to a request from a client, and for returning a result. A generic application instance may be cloned, creating a pool of generic application instance clones that can be loaded with code for a requested application to produce an application instance. The application instance can then be stored in a cache to be used for a future application request.

Abstract:
In a distributed application execution system having a plurality of application servers, each application server has volatile and nonvolatile storage as well as computational resources for executing applications as follows. A plurality of applications is stored in non-volatile storage. At least one such application is a primed application which is derived as follows. An unprimed application is executed and an initialization signal is optionally communicated to the unprimed application. A status signal is obtained from the unprimed application. Upon receipt of the status signal, the unprimed application is checkpointed to produce the primed application, and the primed application is stored. A request to execute the primed application is received from a client system. In response to the request, the primed application is loaded from non-volatile storage into volatile storage, and the primed application is executed. The primed application returns a result to the request to the client system.
