  • Patent number: 10572275
    Abstract: Compatibility can be maintained when program code and pre-computed data associated with the program code are distributed in separate modules by using a data structure of key/value pairs comprising a dictionary. The dictionary can include a fixed part, a floating part and a version number. The version number in the dictionary can be used to determine if a dictionary for the program is current or outdated by comparing the dictionary version number and the version number associated with a dictionary layout in the current shared library. The dictionary can be rebuilt dynamically if the version number of the dictionary does not match the version number of the dictionary layout in the current shared library. The version number of the dictionary can be updated to the version associated with the layout version and the version pointer in the dictionary can be updated to point to the updated version number.

  • Patent number: 10545744
    Abstract: A sequence of input language (IL) instructions of a guest system is converted, for example by binary translation, into a corresponding sequence of output language (OL) instructions of a host system, which executes the OL instructions. In order to determine the return address after any IL call to a subroutine at a target entry address P, the corresponding OL return address is stored in an array at a location determined by an index calculated as a function of P. After completion of execution of the OL translation of the IL subroutine, execution is transferred to the address stored in the array at the location where the OL return address was previously stored. A confirm instruction block is included in each OL call site to determine whether the transfer was to the correct or incorrect call site, and a back-up routine is included to handle the cases of incorrect call sites.

  • Patent number: 10459829
    Abstract: A generic Test Tool migration system that migrates test cases from one platform to another in different Languages and also incorporate best practices while migration. The system comprises of three phases, a pre-processor, an in-flight module, and a post-processor. The pre-processor scans and reads the entire Source code and passes the output to the in-flight module which converts the Source scripts to a neutral Language and generates a Target Language. The output of the process becomes the input to the post-processor that provides options for resolving the ambiguity, issues, and warnings with best practice suggestions to a user by the Smart (migration) Remedy Engine (SME). The translated code is further improved, validated, reported and logged. The output of the phase is converted Object Repositories, Test Data and Scripts.

  • Patent number: 10459702
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of flow control in a computing device, for processing of flow control statements to adapt a data structure of a program running on the computing device and a computer program product storing the method. The invention thereby allows the integration of the kernels into the main program when compiling. The whole parsing of the CPU program parts and the kernels is done by 10 one single standard compiler. The actual compiler for the device can be linked as a library and does not need to do any parsing. The invention further allows loops and if-clauses to be used in language-embedded GPGPU programming, enabling full general-purpose programming of the device in a way that is fully embedded in an ordinary programming language. The device can be a highly parallel computing 15 device, such as a video card, or some other computing device.

  • Patent number: 10423391
    Abstract: A high level programming language provides an agile communication operator that generates a segmented computational space for distributing the computational space across compute nodes. The agile communication operator decomposes the computational space into segments, causes the segments to be assigned to compute nodes, and allows the user to centrally manage and automate movement of the segments between the compute nodes. The segment movement may be managed using either a full global-view representation or a local-global-view representation of the segments.

  • Patent number: 10409711
    Abstract: A method and system of determining whether a specification is an accurate representation of an application program interface (API) is provided. The specification is received electronically over a network. Service calls to be tested are identified based on the specification. A test case is created for each of the identified service calls. A sequence is created for the test cases. A test plan is generated based on the created sequence. The generated test plan is executed. Upon identifying an error in response to the executed test plan, a notification is generated, indicating that the specification is not an accurate representation of the API.

  • Patent number: 10310850
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and/or devices for determining relevant changes to an API are described herein. In one aspect, a server system receives a request from a client to compare two versions of an API. A comparison of the two versions, and any intervening versions, of the API is performed by a server, which may then rank the comparison results based on the call volume or other criteria and will return the ranked results to a client for display to a user. Options include restricting the list of changes to just changes impacting a specific client application.

  • Patent number: 10282179
    Abstract: A high level programming language provides a nested communication operator that partitions a computational space. An indexable type with a rank and element type defines the computational space. The nested communication operator partitions a specified dimension of an index indexable type into segments specified by a segmentation vector and returns an output indexable type that represents the segments. By doing so, the nested communication operator allows data parallel algorithms to operate on the segments as individual units.

  • Patent number: 10282274
    Abstract: Presenting differences between code entity invocations includes identifying a plurality of families of invocations of a code entity. Each family is defined based upon a plurality of attributes that identify a class of runtime behavior of the code entity. First attribute(s) of a first family are identified. These first attribute(s) substantially contributed to classifying a first class of invocations of the code entity within the first family. Similarly, second attribute(s) of a second family are identified. These second attribute(s) substantially contributed to classifying a second class of invocations of the code entity within the second family. Differences between at least two invocations of the code entity are presented, based on differences between the one or more first attributes and the one or more second attributes.
