  • Patent number: 11960382
    Abstract: The disclosure describes techniques that enable detection of memory leaks of software executing on devices within a computer network. An example network device includes memory and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry monitors a usage of the memory by a software component operating within the network device. The processing circuitry periodically determines a memory growth pattern score for the software component based on the usage of the memory. The processing circuitry also predicts whether the user-level process is experiencing a memory leak based on the memory growth pattern score. The processing circuitry applies confirmation criteria to current memory usage of the software component to confirm that the software component is experiencing the memory leak. When the software component is experiencing the memory leak, the processing circuitry generates an alert.

  • Patent number: 11836070
    Abstract: During an execution of a first executable entity, a computer system determines that a target chunk of executable instructions is to be recorded during the execution. Prior to executing the target chunk of executable instructions, the computer system identifies one or more input(s) of the target chunk of executable instructions, and adjusts a page table entry to cause a page fault based on an access by a second executable entity to a first memory page that corresponds to an identified input, and/or an access by the first executable entity to a second memory page that does not correspond to any identified input. Based on detecting an occurrence of a page fault during an execution of the target chunk of executable instructions, the computer system detects that there an interference with an identified input by the second executable entity and/or an incompleteness of the identified inputs.

  • Patent number: 11829232
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a technique can be provided to address debug efficiency for failures found on an operational system. The approach can make use of an existing pin on a memory device with added logic to respond to a trigger signal structured different from a signal that is normally sent to the existing pin on the memory device such that the memory device performs a normal or routine function of the memory device in response to the signal. In response to detecting one or more error conditions associated with the memory device, a system that interfaces with the memory device can generate the trigger signal to the memory device. In response to receiving the trigger signal, the memory device can dump an error log of the memory device to a memory component in the memory device. The error log can later be retrieved from the memory component for failure analysis.

  • Patent number: 11822450
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a solution is provided that detects performance degradation of a particular functionality or an overall system problem using machine learning, Mann-Kendall tests, and correlation tests. After a problem has been automatically detected, the first steps of a root cause analysis may be automatically performed, indicating whether, for example non-optimal ABAP coding, a database issue, or hardware or software bottleneck, or some combination thereof. This approach allows a system to rapidly identify a system performance problem and its root cause by combing several data sources. One can see immediately, for example, whether an ABAP code change, an expensive SQL statement, or the combination of both led to an increase in the average response times of a transaction over time.

  • Patent number: 11809304
    Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for determining whether a detected issue in a computing system is a bug introduced by a developer or an intermittent issue. When an issue is detected, information about the issue is received. A determination is then made as to whether the issue is a new issue or whether it has been previously detected. When it is determined that the issue is a new issue, information about the issue is stored in a storage device. A feature vector is generated for the issue and is analyzed to determine a probability that the issue is a bug. When it is determined that the issue is a bug, the occurrence of the issue is reported to a user of the system that can correct the bug. Once the bug is corrected, the correction is provided back to the system and is used to train the system.
