  • Patent number: 10564955
    Abstract: An embodiment method for retiring a dynamically updatable function includes receiving, by a collector-thread, a registration of the function, wherein the registration indicates to the collector-thread addresses of memory locations for counters that count a number of calls currently being made to a previous version of the function by a plurality of execution threads; reading, by the collector-thread, values of the counters; and when the values of all the counters are zero, deleting, by the collector-thread, the function from a storage medium on a device previously executing the previous version of the function.

  • Patent number: 10445084
    Abstract: Method and system are disclosed for providing multiple installations of a software application. The method/system creates an installation template from a single correct or “golden” installation of the software application and uses the installation template to produce additional installations of the software application. In one embodiment, any references to a specific host or computing system in the files or directories of the installed software application are replaced with a temporary variable in the installation template. The installation template may then be stored on a designated server and uploaded to any computing system needing a new installation of the software application. Once uploaded, the variable is replaced with system-specific references to complete the new installations. Since the installations are produced from the installation template and not from floppy disks or CD-ROMs, the process takes significantly less time.
