Patent number: 10341693Abstract: A method manages substantially continuous delivery of a data stream to a mobile communications device through sequential access thereby to respective receivers from a networked arrangement of wireless transceivers at known locations. A current location and velocity of the mobile communications device is determined. Based on a determined current location and velocity of the mobile communications device, a prediction for a next wireless transceiver to be accessed is generated, and a portion of the data stream is pre-cached at a predicted next wireless transceiver.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2012Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Arthur J. Barr, Ian O. Partridge, Adam J. Pilkington, David S. Renshaw, Andrew Taylor, Thomas Van Der Veen

Patent number: 8539464Abstract: A method of performing distributed just-in-time compilation includes sending a first request message from a client platform to a dedicated compilation server requesting just-in-time compilation of a bytecode sequence generated from a set of code for a source program executing on the client platform; compiling the bytecode sequence at the compilation server into a set of machine code instructions executable by the client platform; storing the set of machine code instructions in a repository managed by the dedicated compilation server; sending a notification message indicating that the set of machine code instructions are available from the dedicated compilation server to the client platform; sending a second request message from the client platform to the dedicated compilation server requesting the set of machine code instructions; and accessing the repository to send the set of machine code instructions from the dedicated compilation server to the client platform.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2008Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ian O Partridge, Adam J Pilkington, David S Renshaw, Simon Charles Edward Rowland

Patent number: 7991793Abstract: A system and associated method for utilizing file names for diagnostic data files generated by a runtime environment. The method employs a file counter base that defines a predefined maximum number of files permitted in a file system, a generation number that indicates an instance of the runtime environment, and a file counter that comprises a file name. The file counter circulates by a cycle equal to the file counter base such that the file system uses only a limited disk space. The method determines the generation number per instance of the runtime environment by examining file counters of existing files in the file system. The generation number initializes the file counter for creating file names in the instance of the runtime environment. The method guarantees a longest life span of a diagnostic data file in a file system that has a limited number of files.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2008Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Glyn Normington, Ian O.
