Abstract: The current document is directed to methods and systems for testing web sites. In certain implementations of the methods and systems, a testing service collects customer page-access and conversion information on behalf of a web site. The testing service is straightforwardly accessed and configured, through a web-site-based user interface, and is virtually incorporated into the web site by simple HTML-file modifications. A more efficient web-site-testing system nonuniformly distributes web-site accesses among web-page variants in order to more quickly and computationally efficiently determine a most effective web-page variant among a set of tested web-page variants. In certain implementations, nonuniform distribution of web-site accesses among web-page variants is facilitated by a Bayesian-inference method.

Abstract: Systems and methods improve performance and resource-efficiency of Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation in a hypervisor-based virtualized computing environment. A user attempts to launch an application that has been previously compiled by a JIT compiler into an intermediate, platform-independent format. A JIT accelerator selects a unique function signature that identifies the application and the user's target platform. If the signature cannot be found in a repository, indicating that the application has never been run on the target platform, the accelerator generates and stores the requested executable program in shared memory and saves the signature in the repository. The system then returns to the user a pointer to the stored platform-specific executable. If multiple users of the same platform request the same application, the system recognizes an affinity among those requests identified by their shared signature, and provides each user a pointer to the same previously stored, shared executable.
