Abstract

Claims (24)

1. A method for processing KStore sensors for use by a KEngine in a KStore system to process a KStore comprising:

providing a stream of particles;

instantiating a KStore sensor structure;

identifying a particle of said stream of particles to be included in a sensor set to provide an identified particle;

processing said identified particle;

receiving a particle for populating said KStore sensor structure;

determining a KStore sensor structure location in accordance with said received particle;

determining whether said selected KStore sensor structure location is within a current size of said KStore sensor structure to provide a structure size determination; and

resizing said KStore sensor structure in accordance with said structure size determination.

2. The method for processing KStore sensors for use by a KEngine in a KStore system to process a KStore of claim 1 , wherein the KStore sensor structure is a list of K nodes.

3. The method for processing KStore sensors for use by a KEngine in a KStore system to process a KStore of claim 1 , wherein said KStore sensor structure is an indexed array.

4. The method for processing KStore sensors for use by a KEngine in a KStore system to process a KStore of claim 3 , wherein the starting index for the indexed array is zero.

5. The method for processing KStore sensors for use by a KEngine in a KStore system to process a KStore of claim 3 , wherein a starting index of said indexed array is non-zero.

6. The method for processing KStore sensors for use by a KEngine in a KStore system to process a KStore of claim 5 , wherein said starting index of said indexed array is negative.

7. The method for processing KStore sensors for use by a KEngine in a KStore system to process a KStore of claim 1 , wherein the KStore sensor structure is a hash table.

8. The method for processing KStore sensors for use by a KEngine in a KStore system to process a KStore of claim 1 , further comprising initializing a KStore sensor structure.

9. The method for processing KStore sensors for use by a KEngine in a KStore system to process a KStore of claim 8 , wherein an entry is initialized to zero.

10. The method for processing KStore sensors for use by a KEngine in a KStore system to process a KStore of claim 8 , wherein an entry is initialized to null.

11. The method for processing KStore sensors for use by a KEngine in a KStore system to process a KStore of claim 1 , further comprising providing a predefined set of sensors to instantiate said KStore sensor structure.

12. The method for processing KStore sensors for use by a KEngine in a KStore system to process a KStore of claim 11 , further comprising creating a plurality of sensor structure locations in accordance with said predetermined set of sensors.

13. The method for processing KStore sensors for use by a KEngine in a KStore system to process a KStore of claim 11 , further comprising creating a plurality of sensor structure locations in accordance with a portion of said sensor set.

14. The method for processing KStore sensors for use by a KEngine in a KStore system to process a KStore of claim 1 , wherein said determining comprises providing an indexing scheme.

15. The method for processing KStore sensors for use by a KEngine in a KStore system to process a KStore of claim 1 , further comprising creating new KStore sensor structure in accordance with said size determination.

16. The method for processing KStore sensors for use by a KEngine in a KStore system to process a KStore of claim 1 , wherein said sensor set comprises a single particle.
