Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method of displaying a data flow, wherein a description of a data flow application to be displayed is received. The data flow application includes nodes and edges connecting the nodes, wherein the nodes represent operators and the edges represent data connections for data flowing between the operations. A reason that a user is to view the data flow and/or a user constraint on a complexity of the data flow application to be displayed is determined with a processor; and, the time required to render a display of the data flow application is estimated. A transformed representation of the data flow application is created with the processor. The transformed representation is created based upon the user reason, the user constraint, the estimated time of rendering, and/or a layout strategy. The transformed representation is displayed on a graphical user interface.

Abstract: A system includes a processor which has access to a representation of model of activity, which includes workspaces. Each workspace includes domain hierarchies for representing an organizational structure of the collaborating users using the system, and initiatives hierarchies representing process structures for accomplishing goals. An interface permits users to view and modify the workspaces for which the user has access. Each user can have different access permissions in different workspaces. The domain and initiative hierarchies provide two views of the workspace objects without duplicating resources. A resource is a collection of shared elements defined by the users that give users associated with the workspace access to information sources. Users can define knowledge boards for creating reports based on information fields of the resources. The knowledge board is associated with a resource template from which the resource is created.

Abstract: An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented process for shared data prefetching and coalescing optimization versions a loop containing one or more shared references into an optimized loop and an un-optimized loop, transforms the optimized loop into a set of loops, and stores shared access associated information of the loop using a prologue loop in the set of loops. The shared access associated information pertains to remote data and is collected using the prologue loop in absence of network communication and builds a hash table. An associated data structure is updated each time the hash table is entered, and is sorted to remove duplicate entries and create a reduced data structure. Patterns across entries of the reduced data structure are identified and entries are coalesced. Data associated with a coalesced entry is pre-fetched using a single communication and a local buffer is populated with the fetched data for reuse.

Abstract: Remote card content management using synchronous server-side scripting is provided. A system includes a computer processor and a script interpreter executable by the computer processor. The script interpreter is configured to perform a method. The method includes parsing a script configured to perform a card content management operation as a sequence of operations for a secure element based on receiving a request from a mobile device located remotely from the computer processor. The method also includes creating an execution context for the script to identify the sequence of operations in the script as non-flushing and flushing nodes. A flushing node is identified as an operation that sends a response to the request and expects a subsequent request from the mobile device for the secure element. The method further includes pausing execution of the script upon sending the response at the flushing node.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for generating infrastructure code.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for emitting coherent output from multiple threads for the printf( ) function. Additionally, parallel (not divergent) execution of the threads for the printf( ) function is maintained when possible to improve run-time performance. Processing of the printf( ) function is separated into two tasks, gathering of the per thread data and formatting the gathered data according to the formatting codes for display. The threads emit a coherent stream of contiguous segments, where each segment includes the format string for the printf( ) function and the gathered data for a thread. The coherent stream is written by the threads and read by a display processor. The display processor executes a single thread to format the gathered data according to the format string for display.
