  • Predicting a table of contents pointer value responsive to branching to a subroutine
    Patent number: 10620955
    Abstract: Predicting a Table of Contents (TOC) pointer value responsive to branching to a subroutine. A subroutine is called from a calling module executing on a processor. Based on calling the subroutine, a value of a pointer to a reference data structure, such as a TOC, is predicted. The predicting is performed prior to executing a sequence of one or more instructions in the subroutine to compute the value. The value that is predicted is used to access the reference data structure to obtain a variable value for a variable of the subroutine.

  • Recipe selection system with bidirectional calendar interface
    Patent number: 10614428
    Abstract: Recommending a recipe and monitoring the preparation of the recipe according to a calendar by a computer that receives calendar data that includes one or more of: a date, scheduled appointment times for the date and appointment durations, any special events on the date, and proximity of the date to a holiday. The computer identifies one or more recipes that can be prepared in an available time slot in the calendar, the one or more recipes includes a list of food from a food ingredient list and monitors data, including length of time to complete a preparation step of the selected recipe. Responsive to the length of time increasing by more than a threshold value, the computer adjusts one or more subsequent preparation steps of the selected recipe to compensate for the increase to the length of time and/or the calendar to provide a longer available time for recipe preparation.
