Abstract: Systems, media, and methods may identify loops of a unit of computation for performing operations associated with the loops. The system, media, and methods may receive textual program code that includes a unit of computation that comprises a loop (e.g., explicit/implicit loop). The unit of computation may be identified by an identifier (e.g., variable name within the textual program code, text string embedded in the unit of computation, and/or syntactical pattern that is unique within the unit of computation). A code portion and/or a section thereof may include an identifier referring to the unit of computation, where the code portion and the unit of computation may be at independent locations of each other. The systems, media, and methods may semantically identify a loop that corresponds to the identifier and perform operations on the textual program code using the code portion and/or section.

Abstract: Functions of an application may include multiple implementations that have corresponding behaviors but perform different garbage collection-related activities such that the different implementations may be executed during different garbage collection phases to reduce overall garbage collection overhead during application execution.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing an online application database and application search. Search queries for applications are received from users. Unfulfilled queries are stored in memory. The platform identifies one or more application features based on the search queries within the stored unfulfilled queries, and generates an application build recommendation specifying the one or more application features. The application build recommendation is output to one or more developer accounts. If a new application is received, the platform may determine whether the new application contains features that sufficiently correspond to the features in one of the application build recommendations. User accounts that submitted the unfulfilled queries that served as the basis for the matching application build recommendation may be notified of the availability of the new application.

In some embodiments, a system can include a processor that executes computer-executable components stored in memory. The computer-executable components can include an evaluation component that determines that first program code pertains to a defined category representing a defined cost to execute the first program code by a cloud computing service. The computer-executable components also can include a recommendation component that generates a recommendation for second program code that satisfies a similarity criterion with respect to the first program code. The second program code pertains to a category representing a cost to execute the second program code by the cloud computing service, where the cost is less than the defined cost.

Abstract: A compilation system using an energy model based on a set of generic and practical hardware and software parameters is presented. The model can represent the major trends in energy consumption spanning potential hardware configurations using only parameters available at compilation time. Experimental verification indicates that the model is nimble yet sufficiently precise, allowing efficient selection of one or more parameters of a target computing system so as to minimize power/energy consumption of a program while achieving other performance related goals. A voltage and/or frequency optimization and selection is presented which can determine an efficient dynamic hardware configuration schedule at compilation time. In various embodiments, the configuration schedule is chosen based on its predicted effect on energy consumption. A concurrency throttling technique based on the energy model can exploit the power-gating features exposed by the target computing system to increase the energy efficiency of programs.

Abstract: During operation, the system obtains the time-series sensor signals, which were gathered from sensors in a monitored system. Next, the system classifies the time-series sensor signals into stair-stepped signals and un-stair-stepped signals. The system then replaces stair-stepped values in the stair-stepped signals with interpolated values determined from un-stair-stepped values in the stair-stepped signals. Next, the system divides the time-series sensor data into a training set and an estimation set. The system then trains an inferential model on the training set, and uses the trained inferential model to replace interpolated values in the estimation set with inferential estimates. Next, the system switches roles of the training and estimation sets to produce a new training set and a new estimation set. The system then trains the inferential model on the new training set, and uses the trained inferential model to replace interpolated values in the new estimation set with inferential estimates.

A migration identifier data structure is created for migrating entities, the data structure including objects, for example in predefined name-value pairs, identifying associated entities within the software service for the migrating entities. A migration process evaluates the migration identifier data structures across migration stages to identify shared configuration between migration stages and/or missing migration entities.

Abstract: The disclosed systems, structures, and methods are directed to optimizing memory access to constants in heterogeneous parallel computers, including systems that support OpenCL. This is achieved in an optimizing compiler that transforms program scope constants and constants at the outermost scope of kernels into implicit constant pointer arguments. The optimizing compiler also attempts to determine access patterns for constants at compile-time and places the constants in a variety of memory types available in a compute device architecture based on these access patterns.

Abstract: Generating mock services based on log entries is disclosed herein. In some examples, a processor device of a computing device retrieves a plurality of log entries related to an error condition within a container platform. The processor device identifies a first pair of log entries that corresponds to a first request message received by a first service and a first response message sent by the first service, where the first response message corresponds to the error condition. The processor device next identifies a second pair of log entries that corresponds to a second request message sent by the first service to a second service and a second response message received by the first service from the second service. Based on the second pair of log entries, the processor device generates a mock service that simulates functionality of the second service for use in subsequent testing of the first service.
