Abstract: Described herein is a test data framework. In accordance with one aspect, the framework creates a test data container that stores test data corresponding to one or more attributes of a business object. The framework may further create a test metaobject instance corresponding to the business object, wherein the test metaobject instance defines associations with the test data container and the business object. The test data container and the test metaobject instance may be sent to a test system for creating one or more instances of the business object that reflect the test data.

Abstract: A plurality of requests are received for computing processing. At least some of the plurality of requests are replicated.

Abstract: Initialization status of a register to be used as a pointer to a reference data structure is used to determine how a stub is to be generated to access the reference data structure. The register is one type of pointer configuration to be used to access the reference data structure, which is used to resolve a symbol associated with a function of a program. An indication is obtained as to whether the register has been initialized with a reference data structure pointer. Based on obtaining the indication, a stub is generated that is to be used to access the function. The generating depends on whether the register has been initialized. If the register has not been initialized, then the stub is generated to include another type of pointer configuration to be used to access the reference data structure.

Abstract: An online system ranks test cases run in connection with check-in of sets of software files in a software repository. The online system ranks the test cases higher if they are more likely to fail as a result of defects in the set of files being checked in. Accordingly, the online system informs software developers of potential defects in the files being checked in early without having to run the complete suite of test cases. The online system determines a vector representation of the files and test cases based on a neural network. The online system determines an aggregate vector representation of the set of files. The online system determines a measure of similarity between the test cases and the aggregate vector representation of the set of files. The online system ranks the test cases based on the measures of similarity of the test cases.

Abstract: A system and method can support device management. A trusted operating system (OS) in a trusted execution environment can store a digest for one or more binary files, which are associated with a trusted application that is deployed in the trusted execution environment. Then, the system can update the trusted application based on one or more updates received from a service provider. Furthermore, the system allows the trusted OS to derive at least one secret bound to the updated trusted application using the digest stored by the trusted OS in the trusted execution environment.

Abstract: Embodiments manage physical locations of virtual machines (VMs) in a datacenter. A computing device, such as a cloud management device, aggregates location information for the VMs executing on hosts. The computing device compares the aggregated location information with event data to identify VMs potentially affected by adverse events (e.g., severe weather, scheduled maintenance, natural disasters, etc.). The computing device initiates migration of the affected VMs from their hosts to unaffected hosts. In some embodiments, the location information includes global positioning system (GPS) coordinates obtained by the hosts and shared with the computing device.

Abstract: A processor includes first and second processing cores configured to support first and second respective subsets of features of its instruction set architecture (ISA) feature set. The first subset is less than all the features of the ISA feature set. The first and second subsets are different but their union is all the features of the ISA feature set. The first core detects a thread, while being executed by the first core rather than by the second core, attempted to employ a feature not in the first subset and, in response, to indicate a switch from the first core to the second core to execute the thread. The unsupported feature may be an unsupported instruction or operating mode. A switch may also be made if the lower performance/power core is being over-utilized or the higher performance/power core is being under-utilized.

Abstract: In a multi-tenant environment, separate virtual machines can be used for configuring and operating different subsets of programmable integrated circuits, such as a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The programmable integrated circuits can communicate directly with each other within a subset, but cannot communicate between subsets. Generally, all of the subsets of programmable ICs are within a same host server computer within the multi-tenant environment, and are sandboxed or otherwise isolated from each other so that multiple customers can share the resources of the host server computer without knowledge or interference with other customers.
