Abstract: A treemap generation engine enables a user of a treemap generation application to design a treemap display page by providing inputs that define the format of the treemap display page, as well as inputs that define the data to be represented by the treemap display page. Based on the inputs, the treemap generation application generates treemap display data that can be processed by a browser application to draw a treemap display page on a computer.

Abstract: A method for preserving data through a softboot process is presented. Areas in a device DRAM are reserved for data structures generated during execution of a boot code stored in the device ROM. A communications channel between the device and an external device is established and data structures related to the communications channel status and startup diagnostics are written to reserved areas of DRAM. Firmware stored on an external device is downloaded to a different area of DRAM. After a softboot, the data structures in DRAM are accessed by firmware enabling the communications channel to be maintained and startup diagnostics data to be utilized.
