Abstract: A system on a chip may include a plurality of data plane processor cores sharing a common instruction set architecture. At least one of the data plane processor cores is specialized to perform a particular function via extensions to the otherwise common instruction set architecture. Such systems on a chip may have reduced physical complexity, cost, and time-to-market, and may provide improvements in core utilization and reductions in system power consumption.

Abstract: In a service provider environment, software deployments can be implemented by automatically routing an incrementally larger percentage of requests to a new software stack based on a success rate for previous requests. Thus, new and old versions of the software stack can be executed simultaneously with a small portion being routed to the new version until a sufficient number of requests have been handled. By slowly bringing a new software stack online, a confidence level in the new deployment can increase until it is fully deployed. Different success rates and different ramping rates can be used for each customer or based on different components of the request, such as API name, API parameters, location, etc. The software deployments can be extended to web-page requests.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems receive a first instruction set from a first virtual machine (VM), the first instruction set including a request to perform an operation on an input. A first identifier is generated based upon the operation and the input. The first identifier is mapped to a stored copy of the input, the operation, and an output resulting from a processor performing the operation. In response to receiving a second instruction set from a second VM, a second identifier is generated based upon the input and operation received within the second instruction set. In response to determining that the second identifier matches the stored first identifier, it is further determined that the input and operation of the first instruction set matches the input and operation of the second instruction set. A copy of the stored output is returned to the second VM.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to remote project access. In aspects, project data for a project that is hosted on a server is provided to a client for use in a development environment of the client. A development environment may be instantiated and configured to allow a user to interact with the project as if the project existed solely on the client. Components on the client and server take care of transferring data and messages to and from the server to ensure that the user experience is seamless.

Abstract: A method, implemented at least in part by a computing device, for software upgrade analysis includes receiving a selection of at least one object class of a plurality of available object classes. One or more application programming interface (API) calls may be retrieved from a plurality of API calls based on the received selection. A test definition may be generated based at least in part on the one or more API calls. A first test may be executed by using the one or more API calls in the test definition within a software environment. The first test is run on the software environment prior to upgrading the environment. Subsequent to upgrading the environment, a second test is executed by using the one or more API calls within the upgraded software environment. A software upgrade report is generated based on a comparison of test results from the first and second tests.

Abstract: Adding an instance to a series in a fashion that preserves the series for both modern and legacy systems, even when the addition would not ordinarily be compatible with the legacy system. A method includes identifying a master message. The master message includes default values for events in the series. The method further includes identifying user input for a new event in the series. The user input identifies exceptions to the default values. The method further includes creating an instance message that includes default values from the master message for which there are no exceptions identified in the user input and includes the exceptions from the user input.

Abstract: The approaches described herein implement synchronous execution of a user space operation from a kernel context. A thread, executing on a computing device, initializes a second kernel stack based on a first kernel stack. The computing device executes an operating system having a user space and a kernel space. The thread, executing in kernel space, performs a non-blocking call (e.g., an upcall) to execute an upcall function in user space. The upcall function may further call other user space functions or system calls. The system calls are performed using the second kernel stack. Upon termination of the upcall function, the thread continues execution on the first kernel stack.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a delivery unit comprises a plurality of objects. The delivery unit is encapsulated within a transport container for delivery to an entity for installation. As new versions of the objects are created by modifying the source code, the modified versions of objects are included in the delivery unit along with unmodified versions of the remaining objects of the delivery unit. The modified versions of the objects are marked for installation, while the unmodified versions are not marked for installation. Upon installation, the objects marked for installation are extracted from the delivery unit while the objects not marked for installation are discarded. The extracted objects are then installed, thus updating any previous versions of the objects, while unmodified objects are not installed. In one representative embodiment, objects are procedures of a database system, which may be organized hierarchically into folders.

Abstract: A method for testing an application that invokes an application programming interface (API) comprises identifying signatures for APIs. A package associated with the API is identified in the application under test, and a package name of the API is identified in the signatures. During runtime of the application under test, request and response objects (or other objects) for the identified package are created using the package name and reflection. The created request object is then used to invoke the API to test the application under test and the response object is used to evaluate the response with expected response.
