  • Architecture and method for executing program builds
    Patent number: 7676788
    Abstract: A method is described comprising: scheduling jobs for a program build to execute in parallel across a plurality of nodes; predicting the files required to complete each of the jobs; and preloading the files to each node prior to the execution of each job.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 25, 2003
    Date of Patent: March 9, 2010
    Assignee: Electric Cloud, Inc.
    Inventors: John Ousterhout, Sven Delmas, John Graham-Cumming, John Eric Melski, Usman Muzaffar, Scott Stanton
  • System and method for intelligently distributing source files within a distributed program build architecture
    Patent number: 7539976
    Abstract: A method implemented within a distributed build system is described comprising: transmitting a first source file from a program build file repository to a first node, the first node using the source file to generate a target file identified in the build process; receiving a request for the first source file from a second node; and redirecting the second node to retrieve the first source file from the first node rather than from the program build file repository.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: May 26, 2009
    Assignee: Electric Cloud, Inc.
    Inventors: John Ousterhout, Sven Delmas, John Eric Melski, Scott Stanton, Sandeep Tamhankar
  • Conflict detection and correction in a program build environment
    Patent number: 7395529
    Abstract: A method is described for executing program builds comprising: scheduling jobs for a program build based on dependencies between files used in the jobs; executing the jobs according to the schedule; collecting file usage information from each of the jobs, the file usage information indicating operations performed on the files in each of the jobs; and analyzing the file usage information to determine whether any one of the jobs resulted in a conflict.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for processing recursive invocations within a program build
    Patent number: 7263695
    Abstract: A method for executing program builds is described comprising: executing jobs for a program build in parallel according to a first job schedule; detecting a recursive build invocation in one of the jobs; analyzing dependency information associated with the recursive build invocation; and based on the analysis, supplementing the first job schedule with additional job schedule data.

  • System and method for supplementing program builds with file usage information
    Patent number: 7168064
    Abstract: A method for executing program builds is described comprising: analyzing file dependency information contained within a first file; scheduling jobs for a program build based on the analysis of the dependency information; executing the jobs according to the schedule; collecting file usage information from each of the jobs; and supplementing the file dependency information with the file usage information.

  • System and method for file caching in a distributed program build environment
    Patent number: 7086063
    Abstract: A method is described comprising: scheduling jobs for a program build to execute in parallel across a plurality of nodes; predicting the files required to complete each of the jobs; and preloading the files to each node prior to the execution of each job.
