  • Patent number: 9524157
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer program products for updating a web application displayed on a client machine. In some implementations, a server maintains a database of application identifiers identifying instances of one or more web applications. The server receives, from a first client machine, a communication identifying a first web application and a first application identifier, the instance of the first web application being associated with one or more components. The server determines that the first application identifier is not included in the database of application identifiers, and generates an updated application identifier for the instance of the first web application based on component version identifiers of the one or more components. The server stores the updated application identifier and transmits a notification to the first client machine indicating that the instance of the first web application is out-of-date.

  • Patent number: 9471464
    Abstract: Disclosed aspects include a debugger evaluating an expression. The expression has a debug element. Using dynamic analysis, a set of state information related to the debug element is identified. The set of state information can be generated external to the debugger and used within the debugger subsequent to being generated. Utilizing the set of state information, a tolerance parameter is selected. The tolerance parameter is for a conditional breakpoint linked with the debug element. In response to selecting the tolerance parameter, a triggering event for the conditional breakpoint may be detected. Based on the tolerance parameter, it may be determined to disregard the triggering event. Subsequently, the triggering event can be disregarded. Altogether, aspects of the disclosure provide a methodology for debug management that may provide performance or efficiency benefits.

  • Patent number: 9459839
    Abstract: Systems and methods synchronize artifact relationships across a plurality of repositories. One example method includes mapping a first relationship of a first relationship type between a first source artifact in a first repository and a second source artifact to a second relationship of a second relationship type between a first target artifact in a second repository and a second target artifact according to a relationship mapping provided by a schema mapping guide. One example system includes a repository synchronizer to synchronize artifact relationship across at least first and second repositories. The repository synchronizer can include at least one processor. The example system can further include one or more schema mapping guides that provide one or more relationship mappings between the first and second repositories.

  • Patent number: 9442706
    Abstract: Methods, systems and devices are disclosed to examine developer supplied graphics code and attributes at run-time. The graphics code designed for execution on a graphics processing unit (GPU) utilizing a coding language such as OpenCL or OpenGL which provides for run-time analysis by a driver, code generator, and compiler. Developer supplied code and attributes can be analyzed and altered based on the execution capabilities and performance criteria of a GPU on which the code is about to be executed. In general, reducing the number of developer defined work items or work groups can reduce the initialization cost of the GPU with respect to the work to be performed and result in an overall optimization of the machine code. Manipulation code can be added to adjust the supplied code in a manner similar to unrolling a loop to improve execution performance.

  • Patent number: 9430209
    Abstract: Reference packages may include a self-contained set of implementation tasks, that when executed at a computing system, provide the computing system with a particular functionality. Implementation tasks in a reference package may be compared to an existing configuration of a computing system to determine which of the implementation tasks have already been executed/installed in the computing system and which have not. Implementation tasks that have not been installed may be selected for inclusion in a final target package. Implementation tasks that have been partially installed or installed differently in the existing computing system from the implementation tasks may have secondary tasks added to them in the final target package. Each secondary task may enable a change to the configuration of the existing system to resolve the configuration inconsistency between the existing configuration in the computing system and the configuration specified in a corresponding implementation task.

  • Patent number: 9317262
    Abstract: An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented method for identification of code synchronization points collects locking data for a set of locks in a managed runtime environment associated with the processor to form a set of contended metrics and analyzes the set of contended metrics using a set of predetermined event triggers. The method further determines whether a threshold in a set of predetermined thresholds in the set of predetermined event triggers is met and identifies a particular form of call path capture for a lock associated with the predetermined event trigger identified as having met the predetermined threshold. Call path information for the lock is captured using the particular form of call path capture.
