  • Patent number: 10831632
    Abstract: Managing application programming interface (API) execution logging is provided. It is determined whether a log trigger definition corresponding to a log include definition is satisfied. In response to determining that the log trigger definition corresponding to the log include definition is satisfied, an execution log of the API is transferred from memory to a file in a storage device. The execution log of the API and a set of API definitions in the file is analyzed using natural language processing to identify a usability context pattern corresponding to the API. A specific set of API log definitions for the API is recommended based on the identified usability context pattern corresponding to the API.

  • Patent number: 10802946
    Abstract: A code entity of an application, for which a differential analysis is to be performed, is identified in a replayable trace of a prior execution of the application. A prior invocations of the code entity are replayed by re-executing executable instructions of the code entity based on the replayable trace. Based on the replay, a families of invocations of the code entity are identified. Each family is defined based upon attributes that identify at least one class of runtime behavior of the code entity that is observed during the replay of the invocations of the code entity. First attributes of a first family that substantially contribute to classifying a first class of invocations of the code entity within the first family are identified, and second attributes of a second family that substantially contribute to classifying a second class of invocations of the code entity within the second family are identified.

  • Patent number: 10761820
    Abstract: A parallelization assistant tool system to assist in parallelization of a computer program is disclosed. The system directs the execution of instrumented code of the computer program to collect performance statistics information relating to execution of loops within the computer program. The system provides a user interface for presenting to a programmer the performance statistics information collected for a loop within the computer program so that the programmer can prioritize efforts to parallelize the computer program. The system generates inlined source code of a loop by aggressively inlining functions substantially without regard to compilation performance, execution performance, or both. The system analyzes the inlined source code to determine the data-sharing attributes of the variables of the loop. The system may generate compiler directives to specify the data-sharing attributes of the variables.

  • Patent number: 10635694
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for instrumentation and control of workloads in a massively parallel processing database. Deployment is in a cluster which mirrors the cluster of the database to be controlled. The system includes data publishing modules, action agents, rules processing modules, deployment managers, rule compilation and management tools. Together these provide a distributed, fault tolerant system for the automated rules-based control of work in a database cluster. For example, in deploying an update, a deployment manager pushes the update to one or more nodes and instructs each of the one or more nodes to restart in a bootstrap mode. The deployment manager generates a respective configuration package for each of the one or more nodes, and restarts each of the one or more nodes in a production mode.

  • Patent number: 10635437
    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.
