Abstract: Embodiments can enable the uploading of a newer version of a plugin package to a plugin service without affecting an existing user session that is using an older version of the plugin package. When a new user session begins, the plugin service can monitor one or more plugin packages and the versions used during the new user session. Throughout the user session, the plugin service continues to make the plugin packages available to the user regardless of newer versions being uploaded to the plugin service. In the meantime, multiple clients with different user sessions may be using different and possibly newer versions of the plugin packages at the same time. The plugin service can remove an older version of a plugin package when it determines that there are no longer any active user sessions utilizing the older version of the plugin package.

Abstract: Technical solutions are described for verifying translatability compliance of a new code for a computer program product includes receiving a notification about a check-in request for the new code, and in response determining whether to verify the translatability compliance of the new code. The method further includes, in response to the translatability compliance being verified, determining whether the new code includes a hardcoded message. Further, in response to identifying the hardcoded message, the method includes sending a warning notification to a developer of the new code. Also, the method includes enabling the check-in of the new code in response to the translatability compliance not being verified.

Abstract: In a method of software item testing, an automated test of a software item is initiated in a cloud-based computing environment in exchange for a fee. The test is part of a testing framework in the cloud-based computing environment. In response to occurrence of an error condition during the test, the test is paused within the cloud-based computing environment. An alteration to the test is accepted while the test is paused. The alteration is accepted via a user interface to the cloud-based computing environment. Testing is continued within the cloud-based computing environment, using altered test.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for updating binary images are described. A computing device can determine transfers for updating a binary source image to become a binary target image. A transfer can include a source memory reference for the source image and a target memory reference for the target image. The computing device can determine a graph based on ordering dependencies between the transfers. The graph can include vertices for the transfers with edges between vertices. The computing device can generate an edge from a first vertex for a first transfer to a second vertex for a second transfer, with the first transfer to be performed before the second transfer. The computing device can break any cycles present in the graph to obtain an acyclic graph. The computing device can order the transfers based on the acyclic graph and send the ordered transfers in an update package for the source image.

Abstract: Scheduling techniques transform dataflow graphs (DFGs), for example, of digital signal processing (DSP) arrangements of filters, into efficient schedules for concurrent execution on processing resources coupled to a memory. A DSP arrangement may be represented by an executable model having interconnected filters represented by model elements. The techniques may apply scheduling transforms according to a classification of the model elements based on a lifetime of their internal states (e.g., finite or infinite). Exemplary scheduling transforms may include unfolding, coordinated loop scheduling and pipelining to parallelize a DFG and enhance overall performance, i.e., reduce average sample execution time of the DSP arrangement. Notably, the scheduling transforms may aggregate (i.e., merge) multiple finite state model elements for concurrent execution and repeat execution of infinite state model elements to achieve the overall improved performance.

Abstract: The present invention is a system for collaborative programming of data entry workflows between end users, Electronic Health Record (EHR) system developers, and third party developers. The system comprises application servers, database servers, an EHR, and peripheral devices, all stored in a distributed computing environment. The database servers comprise databases and networked devices, which host workflows programmed by end users, EHR developers, and third party developers. The system also has a secure network connection for data exchange between application and database servers, and networked devices. The EHR gathers patient health information, processes it and stores it in one of the databases. The system itself, stored in one of the application servers, uses a plurality of templates (form, system and external system) stored in one of the databases to interact with the peripheral devices connected to networked devices that expand the capabilities of the networked devices or the EHR itself.
