Abstract: A method for patching a patchable function programmed in a read only memory (ROM) of a semiconductor device by using firmware loaded onto a first memory includes receiving an encrypted and digitally signed firmware image; generating a verification result by verifying the firmware image by using a public key; decrypting the firmware image by using a secret key depending on the verification result; loading firmware decrypted from the firmware image onto the first memory; and running a replacement function corresponding to an identifier of the patchable function included in the firmware, when the patchable function is called.

Abstract: An application can be converted to new programming language or framework. A source application written for a legacy framework is analyzed and divided into smaller segments of code. The smaller segments are evaluated for quality in view of best practices design for writing applications. A rubric is determined for each segment and compared to a best practice threshold. Segments can be evaluated for features that can be passed through a model. The model converts the features into new code adapted for target framework. Machine learning and rules databases are updated with details of the conversion.

Abstract: A proxy compiler may be used within a native execution environment to enable execution of non-native instructions from a non-native execution environment as if being performed within the native execution environment. In particular, the proxy compiler coordinates creation of a native executable that is uniquely tied to a particular non-native image at the creation time of the non-native image. This allows a trusted relationship between the native executable and the non-native image, while avoiding a requirement of compilation/translation of the non-native instructions for execution directly within the native execution environment.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a hardware processor. The memory stores a plurality of conversion rules. The processor receives a first log from a server. The first log indicates that the server attempted to install a software patch. The processor converts, based on the plurality of conversion rules, the first log into a different format to produce a second log and extracts a plurality of words from the second log. The processor also determines, based on the extracted words, that the software patch install failed and determines, based on the extracted words, a cause for the software patch install failure. The processor further determines a series of steps to remedy the cause and perform the series of steps to remedy the cause.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure provide apparatuses and methods for target architecture determination. An example method comprises receiving an indication of a type of target architecture in a portion of source code and creating compiled code for the type of target architecture based on the indication.

Abstract: A function is compiled against a first application binary interface (ABI) and a second ABI of a native first instruction set architecture (ISA). The second ABI defines context data not exceeding a size expected by a third ABI of a foreign second ISA, and uses a subset of registers of the first ISA that are mapped to registers of the second ISA. Use of the subset of registers by the second ABI results in some functions being foldable when compiled using both the first and second ABIs. First and second compiled versions of the function are identified as foldable, or not, based on whether the compiled versions match. Both the first and second compiled versions are emitted into a binary file when they are not foldable, and only one of the first or second compiled versions is emitted into the binary file when they are foldable.

Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to prevent a conflict between variable names and unintended overwriting of data when a plurality of programs that define shared variables exist. A compiler device (12) includes: an identifier acquisition part (121a) for acquiring an identifier of a first user program; a shared variable name generation part (121b) for generating a shared variable name that includes a variable name of a shared variable and the identifier; a conversion part (121c) for converting the first user program to machine language; and an address determination part (122a) for determining an address of the shared variable. The address determination part (122a) associates the shared variable name and the address of the shared variable with each other and embeds these in the first user program that has been converted to machine language.

Abstract: Examples herein describe compiling source code for a heterogeneous computing system that contains jump logic for executing multiple accelerator functions. The jump logic instructs the accelerator to execute different functions without the overhead of reconfiguring the accelerator by, e.g., providing a new configuration bitstream to the accelerator. At start up when a host program is first executed, the host configures the accelerator to perform the different functions. The methods or system calls in the host program corresponding to the different functions then use jump logic to pass function selection values to an accelerator program in the accelerator that inform the accelerator program which function it is being instructed to perform. This jump logic can be generated by an accelerator compiler and then inserted into the host program as a host compiler generates the executable (e.g., the compiled binary) for the host program.

Abstract: A method for provisioning a virtualized resource includes directing, by a provisioning machine, a server-executed hypervisor to provision a virtual machine. The provisioning machine directs generation of an organizational unit within a first organizational unit within a multi-tenant directory service separated from a second organizational unit in the multi-tenant directory service by a firewall. The provisioning machine associates the virtual machine with the first organizational unit. The provisioning machine establishes a firewall policy on the virtual machine restricting communications to the virtual machine and excluding a user associated with the second organizational unit. The provisioning machine receives a request to provision a virtualized resource for at least one user. The server establishes a connection between a client machine of the at least one user and the at least one virtual machine providing the at least one virtual resource.

Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI) platform to support a continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipeline for software development and operations (DevOps). One or more dependency graphs are generated based on application artifacts. A machine learning (ML) model is leveraged to capture a relationship between components in the dependency graph(s) and one or more pipeline artifacts. Responsive a change of an application artifact, the captured relationship is leveraged to identify an impact of the detected change on the pipeline artifact(s). The CI/CD pipeline is selectively optimized and executed based on the identified impact to improve the efficiency of the pipeline and the deployment time.
