Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for using on stack replacement for optimization of software. A source code is compiled into an unoptimized code on a computing device. The unoptimized code is then executed on a computing device. A hot count is incremented. It is then determined whether a function within the unoptimized code is hot. If a function is determined to be hot, an OSR triggering code is inserted at a back edge of each loop within the function. The OSR triggering code is configured to trigger OSR at a loop depth that is less than the hot count.

Abstract: A deployment modeling platform enables a user to model application characteristics of target software and to associate application modeling parameters to the modeled application characteristics. A user may also model environment characteristics of a target deployment environment and to associate environment modeling parameters to the modeled deployment environment characteristics. Still further, a user may create a deployment model that associates and maps selected parameters of the modeled application characteristics of the target software to associated parameters of the modeled environment characteristics of the deployment environment, and to verify that each parameter that relates to a requirement is mapped to and is fulfilled by an associated parameter that relates to a corresponding capability to determine whether validation problems exist in order to deploy the target software in the associated deployment environment.

Parent code block, upon compiling, is configured to be reused across execution contexts and to allow injection of global scope. Parent code block, upon specific execution, includes execution context for specified child code block. Parent code block is configured to receive indication of specified child code block for initiating execution of parent code block. Parent code block is compiled.

Abstract: Architectural design intent for software is represented in some type of concrete form. A set of computable rules are inferred from the representation of the architectural design intent. The rules are applied to the codebase at various points in the development process including but not limited to when source code is checked into a project or when a build is run, or when a test run is performed. If the codebase being developed is not consistent with the architectural intent of the designer as captured, feedback concerning non-compliance is provided.

Abstract: A lock-clustering compiler is configured to compile program code for a software transactional memory system. The compiler determines that a group of data structures are accessed together within one or more atomic memory transactions defined in the program code. In response to determining that the group is accessed together, the compiler creates an executable version of the program code that includes clustering code, which is executable to associate the data structures of the group with the same software transactional memory lock. The lock is usable by the software transactional memory system to coordinate concurrent transactional access to the group of data structures by multiple concurrent threads.

Abstract: A non-stop debugging environment includes a debugger configured to debug a multi-threaded debuggee, where encountering an event by one of the threads stops execution of only the one thread without concurrently stopping execution of other threads. In such a non-stop debug environment, impact indication of thread-specific events includes tracking, by the debugger, activity associated with a thread-specific event and displaying, by the debugger in a graphical user interface (‘GUI’), an indication of thread-specific event impact in dependence upon the tracked activity.

Abstract: During a compatibility testing technique, a portable electronic device launches a test version of a module in the application prior to executing the application in an environment on the portable electronic device. This module may be associated with the external electronic device (such as an audio jack swiper), and launching the test version of the module may involve providing configuration information associated with operation of the module to the environment. If, in response to the configuration information, the test version is initialized correctly by the environment, the portable electronic device subsequently executes the application with the module. Alternatively, if, in response to the configuration information, the test version is not initialized correctly by the environment, the portable electronic device subsequently executes the application without the module.

Abstract: A method, computer system and computer program product localize a source language user interface of software application to a target language user interface. While the software application is executing using the source language user interface, source language GUI component text of a GUI component is extracted from bytecode of the software application. The extracted source language GUI component text is formed into a localization pack file. The source language GUI component text of the localization pack file is translated to the target language. In response to the software application executing again, the translated GUI component text is loaded from the translated localization pack file. The GUI component is displayed with the translated GUI component text.

Abstract: An interactive design of process model for packaged application software installation and configuration generates a process model from a natural language description of software installation or configuration related operation. A data structure representing one or more work products related to the process model is identified, and one or more elements of the data structure are identified that are related to one or more sub-processes of the process model. Input information associated with said one or more sub-processes is captured and stored. The input information is linked with the one or more elements of the data structure related to said one or more sub-processes. The one or more sub-processes in the process model may be also demonstrated through a simulation.

Abstract: One set of instructions is generated in part by compiling application-specific source code. When natively executed on a platform provided by a device, the set of instructions provides an application. Another set of instructions is generated in part by compiling the same business logic source code. When natively executed on another platform provided by another device, the other set of instructions provides the same application. The business logic source code is substantially free of code specific to any platform. Moreover, the business logic source code defines substantially all application-specific functionality of the application.
