Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for providing a virtualization layer for mobile applications are presented. A computing device may parse code of an application to identify a first set of one or more classes in the application. The computing device may transmit code usable by the first set of one or more classes to a module accessible to the application and create a second set of one or more classes in the application to replace the first set of one or more classes, wherein the second set of one or more classes does not inherit from the first set of one or more classes in an object hierarchy. In some embodiments, the second set of one or more classes provides at least one different function from the first set of one or more classes. The computing device may execute the application comprising the second set of one or more classes.

Abstract: Embodiments profile usage of memory and other resource. Stack traces have lifespans, resource impacts, and constituent call chains. Aggregation unifies shared call chains and sums resource impacts after assigning traces to snapshot sets based on trace lifespans and user-defined snapshot request timestamps. Traces are assigned using either active aggregation or precursor aggregation. Traces spanning a snapshot request may be split. A sampled resource trace lifespan begins when the resource is sampled and ends at the next snapshot request. An allocated resource trace lifespan begins when a portion of the resource is allocated and ends when the allocated portion is freed. Resource portions not yet freed are implicitly freed when program execution ends. Call chain interval resource impact aggregation performed with multiple snapshot requests and stack trace sets creates snapshot aggregations.

Abstract: An access point (AP) of a wireless network receives registration requests for a firmware update from a set of Internet of Things (IOT) devices. The AP determines availability of the firmware update at a remote server, and upon determining the availability, downloads the firmware update from the remote server into to a non-volatile storage and provides the firmware update to the set of IOT devices.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to an application store interface provided to enable remote management of client devices. In example embodiments, a server transmits an application store interface identifying applications available for installation by an administrative user associated with a number of client devices. The application store interface may then receive a selection of an application to be installed from the administrative user. In response, the application store interface may trigger installation of the selected application on each of the client devices by an agent executing on each device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for inferring call stacks in a program, such as a video game or simulation program, are described herein. The call stack data can be inferred using a database of previously captured call stacks along with a minimal set of identifiers that fingerprint each call stack. If just the minimal fingerprint can be captured during a subsequent profile, then the corresponding call stack can be inferred.
