Abstract: A host-side overcommit value is set upon a physical node that implements virtual machines (VM Node). The overcommit value is determined by receiving a selected enablement template that includes a selected computing capacity and a selected overcommit value. A user-side normalization factor is determined that normalizes the selected computing capacity against a reference data handling system. A comparable computing capacity of the VM Node is determined. A host-side normalization factor is determined that normalizes the comparable computing capacity against the reference data handling system. The host-side overcommit value is determined from the selected overcommit value, the user-side normalization factor, and the host-side normalization factor. The host-side overcommit value may indicate the degree the comparable computing capacity is overcommitted to virtual machines deployed upon heterogeneous VM Nodes as normalized against the reference system.

Abstract: Design time artifacts ordered in a dependency tree according to a call order defined by a database application accessing data in a database can be classified as source and/or sink artifacts. The dependency tree can be traversed in a direction reverse of the call order to determine, for each sink artifact, one or more required source artifacts upon which the sink artifact depends and that is needed to provide correct data inputs for operation of the sink artifact. Based on the traversing, implicitly dependent sink artifacts positioned earlier in the call order that their required source artifacts can be identified, and a new call order can be defined in which all of the required source artifacts for the implicitly dependent sink artifact are called before the implicitly dependent sink artifact.

Abstract: Technologies for software testing include a computing device having persistent memory that includes a platform simulator and an application or other code module to be tested. The computing device generates a checkpoint for the application at a test location using the platform simulator. The computing device executes the application from the test location to an end location and traces all writes to persistent memory using the platform simulator. The computing device generates permutations of persistent memory writes that are allowed by the hardware specification of the computing device simulated by the platform simulator. The computing device replays each permutation from the checkpoint, simulates a power failure, and then invokes a user-defined test function using the platform simulator. The computing device may test different permutations of memory writes until the application's use of persistent memory is validated. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

The updated property values are associated with the properties of the object.

Abstract: A method and system for processing instruction information. Each instruction information character string of a sequence of instruction information character strings are sequentially extracted and processed. It is independently ascertained for each instruction information character string in the sequence whether to generate a code line for each instruction information character string, by: determining whether a requirement is satisfied and generating the code line and storing the code line in a code buffer if the requirement has been determined to be satisfied and not generating the code line if the requirement has been determined to not be satisfied. The requirement relates to whether the instruction information character string being processed comprises a naming instruction or a generation instruction. It is determined that the requirement is satisfied for one or more instruction information character strings in the sequence.

Abstract: In response to receipt of a process-level input request that is subject to business-level requirements, multiple sets of attributes are identified. The sets of attributes are each from one of multiple informational domains that represent processing factors associated with at least the process-level input request, contemporaneous infrastructure processing capabilities, and historical process performance of similar processes. The multiple sets of attributes from the multiple informational domains are hashed as a vector into an initial process prioritization. The attributes of the hashed vector of the multiple sets of attributes from the multiple informational domains are weighted in the initial process prioritization into a hashed-weighted resulting process prioritization. The process-level input request is assigned to a process category based upon the hashed-weighted resulting process prioritization.
