  • Patent number: 11900176
    Abstract: A method for function call invocation is described. A function call that is implemented in a first programming language and corresponds to a function implemented in a second programming language is received by an application bridge interface implemented in the first programming language. The first programming language is different from the second programming language. A common data structure is generated by a bridge module based at least in part on the function call received by the application bridge interface. The common data structure is sent by the bridge module to a native bridge interface implemented in the second programming language. The common data structure is converted by the native bridge interface to a native data structure implemented in the second programming language.

  • Patent number: 11893428
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for tracing service interactions without global transaction identifiers are disclosed. A service monitoring system receives an event message from a first service in a service-oriented system. The event message comprises one or more elements of data from a body of a service request from an upstream service. The first service initiates a sub-task associated with the service request. The service monitoring system receives one or more additional event messages from one or more additional services. The additional event message(s) comprise one or more additional elements of data from one or more additional service requests associated with one or more additional sub-tasks. The service monitoring system determines, based (at least in part) on the element(s) of data in the event message and the additional element(s) of data in the additional event message(s), that the sub-task and the additional sub-task(s) are associated with a higher-level task.

  • Patent number: 11880725
    Abstract: In embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided a solution for establishing queues between threads in a user space. After creating a first thread on a first application and creating a second thread and a third thread on a second application, a socket connection between the first application and the second application is established in the user space of the operating system. Then, a first queue is established between the first thread and the second thread, while a second different queue is established between the first thread and the third thread. Embodiments of the present disclosure can avoid lock-based queue sharing by setting a separate queue for each pair of threads. Thus, the luckless queue mechanism according to embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the performance of the operating system significantly.

  • Patent number: 11853820
    Abstract: A terminal device includes a first application and at least one second application. The at least one second application accesses a service in the first application. The at least one second application sends an access request to the first application through cross-process communication. Because the access request includes an identifier uniquely corresponding to a target service interface of the service, the first application determines the target service interface based on the identifier, and executes a method object corresponding to the target service interface to generate an execution result.

  • Patent number: 11847512
    Abstract: A management daemon sorts syscalls received from the management applications into First In First Out (FIFO) queues and, when there is an available array control device, selects a syscall from one of the FIFO queues, and spawns a thread on the available array control device to service the selected syscall. The management system has a syscall scheduler configured to optimize handling of syscalls, by breaking long running syscalls into discrete operations, implementing a portion of the syscall, and then stopping operation of the syscall while saving the state of the partially executed syscall. The partially executed syscall is placed back into a queue for subsequent operation, thus freeing up the array control devise for use in connection with other syscalls. By optimizing syscall scheduling, and incremental processing of long running syscalls, it is possible to reduce the overall syscall processing time for a set of syscalls.

  • Patent number: 11846929
    Abstract: Systems and method for leveraging container orchestration systems to generate visualizations related to components or operations of an industrial automation system. In particular, a visual manager, a primary node of the container orchestration system, may receive a container image for operating an application of the industrial automation system. A visual manager may identify a container host from a cluster of nodes of the container orchestration system for executing the container in response to the container host meeting container orchestration constraints. Upon execution of the constraint, the container host may transmit configuration details for accessing a visualization associated with the container image to a thin client for display. In some embodiments, the container host, itself, may include a thin client device. Accordingly, the thin client device may execute the container and display the corresponding visualization.
