A highly-convenient content duplication management system for allowing users to duplicate a content as long as the duplication is in compliance with a given usage right. In the system, a request destination device stores a content and a permitted number of duplications of the content. In response to a duplication request, the request destination device judges whether or not the request source device is an in-group device that belongs to the same group as the request destination device. When judging that the request source device is an in-group device, the request destination device transmits the content together with a permitted number that is equal to or smaller than the currently stored permitted number. The request destination device then updates the currently stored permitted number by subtracting the permitted number transmitted.

The internet based synchronous updating method for personnel resume database is carried out by scanning the synchronous comparison list recorded in the original database, obtaining user labels and correspondent add / upate time, comparing the add / update time with the updated time of the database in enterprises, if the both times are not same, searching the same user labels in the database in enterprise and displacing their contents and copying those contents of which labels are absent into the database in enterprise, at last, updating the add / update time.

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods by which a virtual-machine monitor can introduce branch instructions, in order to emulate privileged and other instructions on behalf of a guest operating system, into guest-operating-system code residing on virtually aliased virtual-memory pages. In a described embodiment of the present invention, the virtual-machine monitor physically aliases each virtual alias for a particular physical memory page by allocating a physical page for the virtual alias, copying the original contents of the physical memory page to the allocated physical page, or physical alias page, and subsequently patching each physical alias page appropriate to the physical address of the physical alias page.

Techniques for migrating data in a database include identifying an update to one or more data entries of a source table; determining that a status of a trigger associated with the source table indicates to update a logging table, and in response: updating, in a first transaction, (i) the one or more data entries of the source table, and (ii) one or more data entries of the logging table based on the user input, and copying content of the source table to a target table; and determining that the status indicates to update the target table, and in response: updating, in a second transaction, (i) the one or more data entries of the source table and (ii) one or more data entries of the target table based on the user input, and updating the content of the target table based on the one or more data entries of the logging table.

A move engine and operating system transparently reconfigure physical memory to accomplish addition, subtraction, or replacement of a memory module. The operating system stores FROM and TO real addresses in unique fields in memory that are used to virtualize the physical address of the memory module being reconfigured and provide the reconfiguration in real-time through the use of hardware functionality and not software. Using the FROM and TO real addresses to select a source and a target, the move engine copies the contents of the memory module to be removed or reconfigured into the remaining or inserted memory module. Then, the real address associated with the reconfigured memory module is re-assigned to the memory module receiving the copied contents, thereby creating a virtualized physical mapping from the addressable real address space being utilized by the operating system into a virtual physical address space.

A method and mechanism for generating a snapshot in a computing system. On initiating a snapshot of a first storage, the content of a portion of the first storage that includes at least one block is copying to snapshot storage and a copied indication for each copied block is recording in a copy map. Responsive to any write request to a block for which no copied indication has been recorded in the copy map, the content of the block is copied to the snapshot storage, prior to writing to that block. The content of other blocks for which no copied indication has been recorded in the copy map is successively copied to the snapshot storage. A copied indication for each copied block is recorded in the copy map. The successive copying can be performed as a background task.

A processor contains a move engine and mapping engine that transparently reconfigure physical memory to accomplish addition, subtraction, or replacement of a memory module. A mapping engine register stores FROM and TO real addresses that enable the engines to virtualize the physical address of the memory module being reconfigured and provide the reconfiguration in real-time through the use of hardware functionality and not software. Using the FROM and TO real addresses to select a source and a target, the move engine copies the contents of the memory module to be removed or reconfigured into the remaining or inserted memory module. Then, the real address associated with the reconfigured memory module is re-assigned to the memory module receiving the copied contents, thereby creating a virtualized physical mapping from the addressable real address space being utilized by the operating system into a virtual physical address space. During the process of moving the memory contents, the mapping engine maps Write memory requests addressed to the real address space currently associated with the reconfigured memory module to both the FROM and TO real address space. As will be appreciated, a memory module can be inserted, removed or replaced in physical memory without the operating system having to direct and control the reconfiguration of physical memory to accomplish the physical memory change.
