Abstract: Mutation testing can indicate whether mutants of a software application, created by intentionally altering source code of the software application, are successfully “killed” by test cases executed against the mutants. Mutation testing can be performed via parallel threads by, within each parallel thread, modifying individual source code class files and recompiling the modified class files to generate and test mutants. Individual mutation test results produced within each of the parallel threads can be aggregated to generate an aggregated test result report that indicates overall testing metrics associated with the mutation testing across the parallel threads.

Abstract: A deep learning model is trained on historical pull requests to automatically identify appropriate reviewers to review source code from one or more source code repositories. The model is trained on features that are based on past pull requests from the source code repositories and that represent the context of the syntactic representation of the changed code. The model learns patterns found in the changed source code and of the past peers associated with the changed source code to relate certain source code fragments with certain peers. The model generates probabilities based on the learned patterns which are used to identify appropriate reviewers more suitable to review the source code.

Abstract: A bidirectional conversion method is provided between a memory representation and a network representation of data samples associated with a DDS type in a system using an Object Management Group DDS and a Real-Time Publish Subscribe (RTPS) protocol that is more potent, maintainable, and with a smaller footprint. A first conversion recipe is generated using a type description and a language binding information that transforms any data sample associated with the type description from a first memory representation to a network representation, and this first conversion recipe is generated only once. A second conversion recipe is generated using a type description and language binding information that transforms any data sample associated with the type description from the network representation to a second memory representation, and this second conversion recipe is generated only once. Both generated first and second conversion recipes are then executed on all data samples.

Abstract: According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, a computer-implemented method includes uploading, by a first instance of an integrated development environment (IDE), a first source-code change to a change log of a version control system. A second instance of the IDE is used to upload a second source-code change to the change log of the version control system. A determination is made that the second source-code change conflicts with the first source-code change. Based on the determination that the second source-code change conflicts with the first source-code change, generating a notification of the second source-code change is generated in the first instance of the IDE.

Abstract: In example embodiments, techniques are provided to implement changeset conflict rebasing when performing conflict-detection and merging in an infrastructure modeling software architecture that uses an optimistic concurrency policy. Changeset conflict rebasing involves adjusting the pre-change values in a local changeset so they match post-change values of a remote version, rather an original base version, or removing changes from the local changeset entirely.

Abstract: Executable code is part of an over-the-air (OTA) update received by, for example, a computing device in a vehicle. In one example, the update is a secure over-the-air (SOTA) update of software that is stored in firmware of a vehicle component (e.g., firmware stored in memory of a storage device or a boot device that are mounted in a vehicle).

Abstract: Software code is written using a multistage automated code deployment pipeline. A code change is provided to the pipeline and at each stage various checks or evaluations of the code change is performed. Additionally, a risk profile is generated for the code change that identifies a risk of making the code change based on the code change itself as well as a reputation of the individual providing the code change. In one or more stages of the pipeline, a determination is made whether the risk profile meets a verification criteria, and if so the code change does not progress to the next stage in the pipeline until additional verification (in addition to any testing typically performed at that stage) is performed.

Abstract: Techniques are described for increasing the functionality of a data processing system via a computer-executed tool that converts programs, written in a procedural language, into components that may be executed as a dataflow graph. The dataflow graph generated from a program written in a procedural programming language may support various forms of parallelism, such as pipeline parallelism and/or component parallelism. In some embodiments, parallelism may be achieved by parsing the program based on a grammar and identifying control flow relationships between data operations performed by the program. In particular, types of dataflow graph components may be identified, according to the grammar, as corresponding to particular data operations (or groups of data operations) of the program. A dataflow graph may be generated to comprise the identified components, which may be connected together with flows in an order according to the identified control flow relationships between data operations.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for automatically parallelizing code segments are provided. For example, an environment includes a profiling agent, a parallelization agent, and a verification agent. The profiling agent executes a code segment and generates a profile of the executed code segment. The parallelization agent analyzes the code segment to determine whether a parallelizable portion is present in the code segment. When a parallelizable portion is present, the parallelization agent determines, based on the profile of the executed code segment, whether to parallelize the parallelizable portion of the code segment. If it is determined to parallelize the parallelizable portion of the code segment, the parallelization agent automatically parallelizes the parallelizable portion of the code segment. The verification agent verifies the functionality and/or correctness of the parallelized code segment.

Abstract: A processor is to execute and retire instructions for a virtual machine. A reload register is coupled to the core is to store a reload value. A performance monitoring counter (PMC) register is coupled to the reload register and an event-based sampler operatively is coupled to the reload register and the PMC register. The event-based sampler includes circuitry to load the reload value into the PMC register and increment the PMC register after detecting each occurrence of an event of a certain type as a result of execution of the instructions. Upon detecting an occurrence of the event after the PMC register reaches a predetermined trigger value, the event-based sampler is to execute microcode to generate field data for elements within a sampling record, wherein the field data relates to a current processor state of execution, and reload the reload value from the reload register into the PMC register.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe techniques for managing locks in just-in-time compiled code in a software application. An example method generally includes profiling locks by during execution of the JIT compiled code. Locks are generally profiled by identifying locks on resources accessed by the JIT compiled code, and recording access information for each of the identified locks. When a safepoint is reached during execution of the JIT compiled code, one or more locks eligible for conversion to a biased lock are identified .based on the recorded access information for each of the identified locks, one or more locks eligible for conversion to a biased lock. Each respective lock of the one or more eligible locks is converted to a biased lock based on a current lock status of the respective lock.
