A system including a storage processing device with an input / output module. The input / output module has port processors to receive and transmit network traffic. The input / output module also has a switch connecting the port processors. Each port processor categorizes the network traffic as fast path network traffic or control path network traffic. The switch routes fast path network traffic from an ingress port processor to a specified egress port processor. The storage processing device also includes a control module to process the control path network traffic received from the ingress port processor. The control module routes processed control path network traffic to the switch for routing to a defined egress port processor. The control module is connected to the input / output module. The input / output module and the control module are configured to interactively support data virtualization, data migration, data journaling, and snapshotting. The distributed control and fast path processors achieve scaling of storage network software. The storage processors provide line-speed processing of storage data using a rich set of storage-optimized hardware acceleration engines. The multi-protocol switching fabric provides a low-latency, protocol-neutral interconnect that integrally links all components with any-to-any non-blocking throughput.

A method and system for authenticating financial transactions is disclosed wherein biometric data is acquired from a person and the probability of liveness of the person and probability of a match between the person or token and known biometric or token information are calculated, preferably according to a formula D=P(p)*(K+P(m)), wherein K is a number between 0.1 and 100, and authenticating if the value of D exceeds a predetermined value.

A key-value store provides column-oriented access to data in a distributed and fault tolerant manner. Data can be inserted into the data store and data can be retrieved either randomly or sequentially from the data store at high rates. Keys for a table are ordered and the entire table is divided into key ranges. Each key range is handled by a table which itself is divided into key ranges called a partition. Partitions are also divided into segments. Such recursive division into smaller and smaller key ranges provides parallelism. At the highest level, operations on tablets can be distributed to different nodes. At lower levels, different threads can handle operations on individual segments. Large-scale restructuring operations can be decomposed into operations on individual segments so that a global lock on larger objects does not need to be kept across the entire operation.

Systems and methods for efficient dynamic utilization of shared resources in a processor. A processor comprises a front end pipeline, an execution pipeline, and a commit pipeline, wherein each pipeline comprises a shared resource with entries configured to be allocated for use in each clock cycle by each of a plurality of threads supported by the processor. To avoid starvation of any active thread, the processor further comprises circuitry configured to ensure each active thread is able to allocate at least a predetermined quota of entries of each shared resource. Each pipe stage of a total pipeline for the processor may include at least one dynamically allocated shared resource configured not to starve any active thread. Dynamic allocation of shared resources between a plurality of threads may yield higher performance over static allocation. In addition, dynamic allocation may require relatively little overhead for activation / deactivation of threads.

A free-wheeling lock mechanism for a cylindrical door lock includes inner and outer spindles directly and non-rotatably connected to corresponding inner and outer lever handles. A latch retractor is located between the spindles and a cylindrical outer cam is located within the outer spindle. The outer cam can slide axially in the outer spindle and includes an approximately T-shaped cam slot having longitudinal and circumferential portions forming the T-shape. A cam scoop is located on the perimeter of the outer cam which extends into the latch retractor and operates the latch retractor to open the door when the outer cam is rotated. The outer spindle has an inwardly projecting finger that cooperates with the cam slot to unlock and lock the mechanism as the outer cam slides axially to align the finger with the longitudinal or circumferential portions of the cam slot. In the unlocked position the finger projects into the longitudinal portion of the cam slot so that rotation of the lever handle turns the outer cam and opens the door. In the locked position the finger projects into the circumferential portion of the cam slot so that the finger does not engage the outer cam and rotation of the lever handle does not open the door.
