Mass data (the contents of arrays, large data structures, linked data structures and similar data structures stored in memory) are common targets for attack. The invention presents a method and system of protecting mass data by mapping virtual addresses onto randomly or pseudo-randomly selected actual addresses. This mapping distributes data values throughout the memory so an attacker cannot locate the data he is seeking, or identify patterns which might allow him to obtain information about his target (such as how the software operates, encryption keys, biometric data or passwords stored therein, or algorithms it uses). Additional layers of protection are described, as well as efficient techniques for generating the necessary transforms to perform the invention.

The system and method of the present disclosure relates to automatically extracting linked node graph data structures from unstructured content. A configurable semantic natural NLP extraction platform structures content from unstructured data to determine the sematic meaning of content. Users generate configurations for an area or topic of interest, and query the system with the configuration to extract content from unstructured content. Based on the extracted content, an ontology is constructed for entities and activities, and entity and activity objects are identified within the unstructured content by applying a set of content extraction entity and activity rules. Application of the rules results in generation of a list of entity and activity words that satisfy the respective rules. Relationships between the entity and activity words are identified, and a linked data structure is formed as the linked node graph data structure.

A system and method for asynchronously traversing a disjoint linked data structure is presented. A synergistic processing unit (SPU) includes a handler that works in conjunction with a memory flow controller (MFC) to traverse a disjoint linked data structure. The handler compares a search value with a node value, and provides the MFC with an effective address of the next node to traverse based upon the comparison. In turn, the MFC retrieves the corresponding node data from system memory and stores the node data in the SPU's local storage area. The MFC stalls processing and sends an asynchronous event interrupt to the SPU which, as a result, instructs the handler to retrieve and compare the latest node data in the local storage area with the search value. The traversal continues until the handler matches the search value with a node value or until the handler determines a failed search.

A system and method for maintaining information of pending operations are described. A buffer uses multiple linked lists implementing a single logical queue for a single requestor. The buffer maintains multiple head pointers and multiple tail pointers for the single requestor. Data entries of the single logical queue are stored in an alternating pattern among the multiple linked lists.

A technique for atomically moving a linked data element may include providing an atomic-move wrapper around the data element, along with an existence header whose status may be permanent, outgoing or incoming to indicate whether the data element is not in transition, or if in transition is either outgoing or incoming. The existence header may reference an existence group having a state field that changes state using a single store operation. A first state may indicate that the data element exists if its existence header is outgoing, and does not exist if its existence header is incoming. A second state may indicate that the data element exists if its existence header is incoming, and does not exist if its existence header is outgoing. Following the state change, the existence group and any atomic-move wrapper containing an outgoing existence header and data element may be freed following an RCU grace period.
