Abstract: A method of analyzing program source code prepared for a multithreading platform comprises analyzing a targeted source code set to extract a set of characteristic information for each wait operation; analyzing the targeted source code set to extract a set of characteristic information for each notification call to an application programming interface of the multithreading platform; identifying a one-way branching correspondence with a wait operation for each notification call by comparing the extracted set of characteristic information for the notification operation and the extracted set of characteristic information for each wait operation with a set of predefined asynchronous operation correspondence pattern information for notification and wait functions implemented by the application programming interface; extracting a set of information for each identified one-way branching correspondence; and storing the extracted set of information for each identified one-way branching correspondence in a data store.

Abstract: For assigning a test pattern to a class chosen from a predefined set of classes, the class membership probability for the test pattern is calculated as well as the confidence interval for the class membership probability based upon a number of training patterns in a neighborhood of the test pattern in the feature space. The number of training patterns in the neighborhood of the test pattern is obtained from computing a convolution of a density function of the training patterns with a Gaussian smoothing function centered on the test pattern, where the density function of the training patterns is represented as a mixture of Gaussian functions. The convolution of the smoothing function and the mixture of Gaussian functions can be expressed analytically.
