Patent number: 9811561Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for efficiently executing database queries using a computing device that includes a central processing unit (CPU) and a processing unit based on single instruction multiple thread (SIMT) architecture, for example, a GPU. A query engine determines a target processing unit to execute a database query based on factors including the type and amount of data processed by the query, the complexity of the query, and the current load on the processing units. An intermediate executable representation generator generates an intermediate executable representation for executing a query on a database virtual machine. If the query engine determines that the database query should be executed on an SIMT based processing unit, a native code generator generates native code from the intermediate executable representation. The native code is optimized for execution using a particular processing unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2015Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Santiago Becerra, Santiago E.

Patent number: 8225223Abstract: The invention relates to a method and tool which allows users to create interactive representations of input and output data, and simulate the associated algorithms used to manipulate this data, that are used in spreadsheet applications and other similar software programs. The interactive simulation is visually represented by a customizable set of components which hereinafter will be referred to as a control pane. The control panels can consist of a variety of components which include user interface elements (such as sliders, buttons, and checkboxes), charts and maps. The underlying simulation is generated based on data sources within an application software program file (e.g., spreadsheet data cells) selected by the user during the control panel creation process.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2010Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: SAP America, Inc.Inventor: Santiago E.

Patent number: 7895578Abstract: A computer readable medium includes executable instructions to allow the designation of a connector component provided within a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The selection of a graphic component within the GUI is supported. The connector component is associated with the graphic component. The connector component is associated with a data source. An interactive control panel incorporating the connector component and the graphic component is generated. The interactive control panel presents data from the data source.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2006Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Business Objects Software Ltd.Inventors: Shawn Tsai, Santiago E. Becerra, Jr.
