  • Patent number: 11972238
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for propagating reduced-precision on computation graphs are described. In one aspect, a method includes receiving data specifying a directed graph that includes operators for a program. The operators include first operators that each represent a numerical operation performed on numerical values having a first level of precision and second operators that each represent a numerical operation performed on numerical values having a second level of precision. One or more downstream operators are identified for a first operator. A determination is made whether each downstream operator represents a numerical operation that is performed on input values having the second level of precision. Whenever each downstream operator represents a numerical operation that is performed on input values having the second level of precision, a precision of numerical values output by the operation represented by the first operator is adjusted to the second level of precision.

  • Patent number: 11740884
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program product for migrating a service (e.g. microservice) from using a first application programming interface version to using a second (e.g. newer or updated) application programming interface version. The method may include determining a difference between specifications of the first and second versions of the application programming interface. Historical usage of the first version of the application programming interface by the service may then be analyzed with respect to the difference so as to determine if the service meets the specification of the second version of the application programming interface. Responsive to determining the service meets the specification of the second version of the application programming interface difference, the service may be migrated from using the first version of the application programming interface to using the second version of the application programming interface.

  • Patent number: 11720477
    Abstract: The present invention provides a unit testing method based on automatic generation of path coverage test cases. First, obtain a control flow graph of a program to be tested is obtained. Then, an executable code is executed in the generated control flow graph based on of an automatically generated test case, and meanwhile, a fitness value is calculated and acquired based on of an execution result of the executable code, and a sub-node is selected to continue repeating the above process, until a terminal node in the control flow graph is found, and finally a path marker is generated and the fitness value corresponding to the path is obtained. Then, an automatic test case generation algorithm is executed, and the algorithm constantly automatically generates test cases based on of the returned fitness value, and exits when the path is completely covered, or a set execution is timed out.
