The example system also includes a validator to determine a state divergence status of the second translation based on a comparison between the first host machine state and the second host machine state.

Abstract: A graph is compiled that defines a data flow from input(s) to output(s) for images. The data flow includes one or more filters to be applied to the images. Compiling the graph includes forming an assemblage of kernel invocations for the data flow and forming a mapping between kernel invocations in code for the one or more filters and the assemblage of kernel invocations. For multiple ones of a number of frames of images, code in the one or more filters is executed, data is passed into the assemblage to indicate which execution path in the assemblage should be chosen from among a plurality of possible execution paths for one of the filters, wherein the data is determined using at least the mapping and the executing code, and kernel invocations in the indicated execution path are executed. Methods, apparatus, and computer program products are disclosed.

Abstract: Management of device firmware update effects as seen by a computing host enables continuously running an OS on the host across a device firmware update, e.g., via delaying visibility of at least a portion of effects of the firmware update, such as in a context where without the delay in visibility the OS would encounter an unrecoverable error and crash. For example, a device (e.g. an SSD) is coupled to a computing host running an unmodified version of Windows. Firmware on the device is updated/activated, such as by being booted. Visibility of a portion of information that would otherwise become immediately visible to the OS (upon activation of updated firmware) is delayed until a power cycle of the device. If the portion includes, e.g., a firmware revision identifier, then the delayed visibility enables continuously running the OS across the firmware update/activation without rebooting the OS.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for retiring an application and any associated data, hardware assets, and software assets. A workflow management system creates and tracks the life cycle of a project for application retirement, data retirement, purge, or performance archiving. The workflow management system evaluates the cost of the project, the availability of resources for the project, and captures information about the application and associated assets. Upon deciding to initiate the project based on the evaluations, the workflow management system captures and tracks implementation of project requirements. The workflow management system further manages retirement of hardware and software assets by cancelling, repurposing, decommissioning, or bypassing the assets.
