Abstract: An Internet/world-wide-web based keyword bid management system that allows advertisers on pay-per-click search engines (“PPCSEs”) to influence position (ranking) on said PPCSEs with the use of a rules based bidding engine. Keyword bid rules allow advertisers to influence desired rankings on PPCSEs based on time-of-day, competitor ranking, bid gaps, etc, or combination of said rules and allow advertisers to mimic human bidding behavior through an automated means. The system comprises of specialized software (“rules based bidding system”) that is hosted by an ASP (“application service provider”) so that all of the advertiser's interactions with said software can take place from any personal computer with Internet access and relatively recent Internet browser software without the requirement of having to download any additional software locally.

Abstract: A system and methods for migrating a virtual machine (VM). In one embodiment, a hypervisor receives a request to migrate the contents of a memory of a source VM in a first physical memory area to a destination VM in a second physical memory area, where the first and second physical memory areas are disjoint. The hypervisor executes the destination VM in response to the request, and detects an access of a page of memory of the destination VM. The hypervisor determines, in view of a data structure maintained by a guest operating system executing in the destination VM, that a first page of a memory of the source VM in the first physical memory area is currently in use by the destination VM.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for selecting a virtual machine to perform a task corresponding to a client request and performing the task at the virtual machine. After performing the task at the virtual machine, an indicator corresponding to a shutdown of the virtual machine is detected. After detecting the indicator and prior to the shutdown of the virtual machine, a memory space is preserved corresponding to the virtual machine. The preserved memory space is then scanned for malware.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of analysis of a computer program instruction for use in a central processing unit having a decoding unit. The method includes receiving an address of an instruction to be analyzed, fetching said instruction stored at said address, decoding by a decoding unit associated with the central processing unit, the fetched instruction, and returning the results of said decoding of said fetched instruction. The decoded results may be returned as a data block stored in memory associated with the central processing unit or in one or more registers of the central processing unit. The decoded results may include the type of the instruction and/or the instruction length. The method may further include analyzing the decoded results to determine whether the instruction may be replaced with one of a trap or a break point.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for migrating a virtual machine from a source hypervisor to a destination hypervisor. An example method of migrating a virtual machine from a source hypervisor to a destination hypervisor includes receiving, by a source hypervisor running a virtual machine, an indication to migrate the virtual machine to a destination hypervisor. A guest runs on the virtual machine and is allocated guest memory. The method also includes reading, by the source hypervisor, a free value indicating whether a memory page in the guest memory is active. The method further includes transmitting the memory page to the destination hypervisor if the free value indicates that the memory page is active. The method also includes determining to not transmit the memory page to the destination hypervisor if the free value indicates that the memory page is inactive.

Abstract: A system and methods are disclosed for performing virtual machine (VM) backups. In accordance with one embodiment, a hypervisor executed by a processing device suspends execution of a VM and initiates a backup procedure to save a current state of the VM. The hypervisor reads a value of a flag that is written to by the VM and is stored in a portion of memory accessible by the VM and the hypervisor. In response to determining that the value read by the hypervisor equals a first value, the hypervisor resumes execution of the VM prior to receiving a status message regarding the backup procedure. In response to determining that the value read by the hypervisor equals a second value, the hypervisor waits to resume execution of the VM until the hypervisor has received a status message indicating that the backup procedure was successful.
