Appl. No.:

10/987294

Inventors:

Kevin A. Gibbs - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

Google Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707102, 707101

Abstract:

A set of ordered predicted completion strings are presented to a user as the user enters text in a text entry box (e. g. , a browser or a toolbar). 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. Privacy is taken into account in a number of ways, such as using a previously submitted query only when more than a certain number of unique requestors have made the query. The sets of ordered predicted completion strings is 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.

US Classification:

709226, 713 1, 713176

Abstract:

In a distributed application execution system having an application master and a plurality of application servers, each application server includes one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs. The one of more programs include instructions for storing in non-volatile storage a plurality of applications distributed to the application server by the application master, for loading into volatile storage and executing a respective application in response to a received request, and for returning a result to the request. In addition, the one of more programs include instructions for conditionally retaining the respective application in volatile storage, for responding to a future request, when criteria, including at least predefined usage level criteria, are met by the respective application, and otherwise removing the respective application from volatile storage upon returning the result to the request.

Abstract:

The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a method that includes generating, within a web-accessible document, a parent container document associated with a first Internet domain and one or more child container documents within the parent container document and associated with a second Internet domain. The method also includes receiving, by the parent container document, information requested from a server associated with the first Internet domain, and communicating the information from the first Internet domain to the second Internet domain using the parent container document associated with the first Internet domain to transmit the information to the one or more child container documents associated with the second Internet domain.

US Classification:

709224, 709217

Abstract:

In an application execution system having a plurality of application servers, each application server includes non-volatile storage for storing a plurality of applications, volatile storage and computational resources for executing applications in response to requests received by the application execution system and for returning results to the requestors. In addition, each application server includes instructions for conditionally terminating execution of the respective application prior to returning the result if the respective application violates any of a plurality of execution restrictions. The execution restrictions in aggregate maintain scalability of the application execution system with respect to at least one or more of the following limits: number of applications that can be executed and number of requests that can be processed per period of time.

US Classification:

709224, 709217

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. In addition, each application server includes instructions for conditionally terminating execution of the respective application prior to returning the result if the respective application violates any execution restriction. The execution restrictions may include: a response time limit; an average response time limit over multiple executions of the application; a volatile memory usage limit; a restriction on using non-volatile storage of the application server; and a requirement limiting where state information is stored. The execution restrictions in aggregate maintain scalability of the application execution system.
