Abstract: Technologies for optimized binary translation include a computing device that determines a cost-benefit metric associated with each translated code block of a translation cache. The cost-benefit metric is indicative of translation cost and performance benefit associated with the translated code block. The translation cost may be determined by measuring translation time of the translated code block. The cost-benefit metric may be calculated using a weighted cost-benefit function based on an expected workload of the computing device. In response to determining to free space in the translation cache, the computing device determines whether to discard each translated code block as a function of the cost-benefit metric. In response to determining to free space in the translation cache, the computing device may increment an iteration count and skip each translated code block if the iteration count modulo the corresponding cost-benefit metric is non-zero. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Methods and computer-readable media are disclosed herein for generating asynchronous runtime compatible applications from non-asynchronous applications. In embodiments, source code for the application that is not compatible with asynchronous processing is examined. The source code is parsed in order to identify unsafe functions that will cause failures of the application when processed in an asynchronous runtime. The source code corresponding to those unsafe functions is modified by adding asynchronous functions and commands to the source code and restructuring the source code. The modified source code may then be provided to an asynchronous runtime environment as the application is now compatible with asynchronous processing.

Abstract: Techniques are included for intelligently testing a software product using a limited number of test cases that are configured to test portions of the software product that have changed since a prior testing. To determine which test cases are best used for testing the implemented changes, a test case-to-programmatic flow mapping may be generated that relates each test case available for testing the software product with each programmatic flow that is tested by the test case. In addition, a programmatic flow-to-artifact mapping may be created that relates each programmatic flow discovered in the software product to each artifact that is accessed, created, changed, or dependent on the programmatic flow. Using these mappings, specific test cases may be determined for testing only those portions of the software product that have changed since the prior testing.

Abstract: A data-serialization system initially uses a recursive serialization algorithm to serialize a hierarchy of nested data objects by translating those objects into a serial stream of data. The system determines that a stack-overflow error is likely to occur whenever the number of objects serialized by the system exceeds a threshold value, or whenever the stack has reached an unacceptable level of utilization. When the system determines that a stack-overflow error is likely or if the system detects that a stack-overflow error will definitely occur if another object is serialized, the system either transfers control to a nonrecursive algorithm that does not require a stack data structure or reduces stack utilization by transferring contents of the stack to a variable-size queue-like data structure.

The binding can comprise late-binding of an application associated with the collection of models to enable at least one user to perform at least one interaction using the environment without disrupting any of the environment or the application.

Abstract: Processor hardware detects when memory aliasing occurs, and assures proper operation of the code even in the presence of memory aliasing. The processor defines a special store instruction that is different from a regular store instruction. The special store instruction is used in regions of the computer program where memory aliasing may occur. Because the hardware can detect and correct for memory aliasing, this allows a compiler to make optimizations such as register promotion even in regions of the code where memory aliasing may occur.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to deploying centralized design data in a development system. An exemplary system generally includes a server configured to perform the following steps. The server receives a style element and a reference name paired with the style element.

The server then identifies a development environment for use with the visual definition and formats the visual definition into a local definition compatible with the development environment. Finally, the server transmits the local definition to a developer device associated with the development environment.
