  • Patent number: 11263005
    Abstract: Techniques are described to automate deployment of an application as a cloud computing service. Such deployment may be accomplished on any underlying host infrastructure. As mentioned above, a typical application may engage in a number of build and deployment processes in order to run on a host computer with an infrastructure type. The techniques described herein may leverage an artificial intelligence computation library to identify which build and deployment processes are required by the application. Once identified, the user may select a host infrastructure type and create a container package with a runtime machine and components configure to run these build and deployment processes for that host infrastructure type. The container package may be used to generate an image from which the host computer can run the application as the cloud computing service. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 11243760
    Abstract: Technologies are described for creating activity object instances corresponding to collection object instances, and for conducting tests between activity object instances and collection objects instances, and within a set of activity object instances. Tests can include determining whether collection object instances have counterpart activity object instances, and evaluating a collection object instance with respect to a corresponding activity object instance. Activity object instances can be set to be performed in a sequence, and a test can determine whether the sequence is consistent with sequencing rules. When activity object instances are automatically created from collection object instances, a user can be presented with a graphical user interface that includes representations of activity object instances, and the user can manipulate the graphical user interface to provide precedence information.

  • Patent number: 11243867
    Abstract: Techniques for modifying a user interface in which respective elements are presented if the criteria for those elements are satisfied include receiving criteria and element characteristics for a new or modified user interface element. The criteria for the new or modified element are compared to criteria for existing elements to determine other elements that could be presented contemporaneously if a request satisfying multiple sets of criteria is received. For each element with corresponding criteria, the characteristics of the element are compared to those of the new or modified user interface element to determine whether the sets of characteristics are mutually exclusive. If the characteristics are mutually exclusive, a conflict exists and information regarding the author of the existing element and the goal or rationale associated with the element may be provided to the user attempting to modify the user interface.

  • Patent number: 11196735
    Abstract: Techniques for managing certificates in segregated networks are disclosed. One example technique includes upon receiving executable instructions of a software application and a reference table containing entries of reference objects in the software application, identifying a digital certificate independently obtained by the segregated network for each of the reference objects. The method also includes generating a mapping table having entries individually identifying the reference objects and data representing the digital certificates. The method further includes deploying for execution to one or more of the servers in the segregated network, the software application along with the generated mapping table. During execution, the software application can dereference one of the reference objects to locate one of the digital certificates in in the generated mapping table corresponding to one of the reference objects.

  • Patent number: 11182145
    Abstract: Techniques for optimizing updates to a distributed data processing application are provided. A runtime engine compares a first version of a distributed application to a second, new version of the distributed application. The runtime engine identifies change(s) to the first version. The runtime engine generates compiler hint(s) for the change(s). The second version of the distributed application and compiler hint(s) are sent to a compiler. The runtime engine receives, from the compiler, a compiled second version of the distributed application and compiler-scheduler hint(s) describing respective optimizations the compiler made to the compiled second version of the distributed application based on the change(s) made to the first version of the distributed application and the compiler hint(s).

  • Patent number: 11138092
    Abstract: A processor is configured to record a replay-able trace of execution of an execution entity. Based on detection of a cache miss during the execution of the execution entity, the processor records an influx of data imported into a processor cache in response to the cache miss, and sets a hardware bit on a cache line of the processor cache storing the influx of data. The hardware bit indicates that the cache line has been recorded into a trace. In addition, the processor records by recording at least one side effect of the access by the execution entity to the model-specific register.

  • Patent number: 11099842
    Abstract: Similarity in source code is identified by searching digital fingerprints representing at least control flow of blocks of programming statements. At least some of the source code is converted into a plurality of respective tokens. Each of the tokens is associated with a plurality of blocks. Tokens are modified by normalizing at least one value in at least one of the blocks and/or by defining at least one abstraction. Thereafter, a representation of control flow is created, and a digital fingerprint representing at control flow of a token is generated. Thereafter, source code within at least one block of a given token is determined and identifiable as being a duplicate of source code stored in a repository by comparing at least one of the generated digital fingerprints and at least one previously generated digital fingerprint.
