Patent number: 8429624Abstract: An application programming interface (API) implementation that can interface between an application and a programming library. The implementation includes a Function Router Wrapper that receives a formatted string from the application. The formatted string includes a function name element filled with a function name, an input element filled with function input parameters, and an unfilled output element. The Function Router Wrapper converts the formatted string and passes it to a Function Router, which parses the converted formatted string to access the function name and the function input parameters. The Function Router calls a library function based on the accessed information. When the called library function is completed, the Function Router collects generated function outputs and embeds them into the formatted string output element. The Function Router passes the formatted string back up to the Function Router Wrapper, which converts the formatted string and passes it back up to the application.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2010Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: LSI CorporationInventors: Jason Unrein, Louis Henry Odenwald, Jr., Rose George

Patent number: 8429611Abstract: A method for the generation of a source code for a computer program for the execution or simulation of a complex process in which a multiplicity of subjects communicate with one another. In this method, the processes are described, the description of the processes is stored in a process file, and with the aid of the process file a source code for a computer program is generated, with a separate source code file being generated for each subject. Through the provision of a source code file for each subject, a complex process may be easily and therefore automatically split into several sub-programs, the source code files, which may be generated automatically. In this way it is possible to generate automatically a computer program for a very complex process. A further benefit of the method according to the invention is that it may be executed after automatic generation, i.e. it may be validated by an execution immediately after generation.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2010Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Metasonic AGInventors: Albert Fleischmann, Nils Meyer

Patent number: 8407675Abstract: A technique for transferring binary instructions from a computer system to an external platform is described herein. The process extracts binary instructions from the computer system. The instructions include a function at a register location. The process disassembles the binary instructions to produce an intermediate representation of the function. An interruption is inserted at the register location linked to a routine call. The process analyzes the intermediate representation for data dependency to identify internal data references for the routine call and external data references to produce a data dependence representation. The process reconfigures the data dependence representation to produce a reconfigured representation, whose control flow logic produces a logic hierarchy representation for the function.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2008Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventor: Barton T.
