Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for providing for trust during startup of an information handling system (IHS) are disclosed. When an IHS starts up, data may be read into memory and used by a processor of the IHS to begin execution of a startup management entity that places the IHS into a desired operating system. To reduce the likelihood of the data used for IHS startup causing the IHS to enter an undesired state (e.g., due to data corruption or intentional action), the data may be verified prior to be being read into memory. If the data is unverifiable, then corrective action may be taken.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for creating logical groups of packages by tagging individual packages with a tag associated with metadata corresponding to packages that are part of the group.

Abstract: A compiler optimization for structure peeling an array of structures (AOS) into a structure of arrays (SOA) by which a pointer to an array in the original program, is transformed into a tagged index that includes both an array index, and a memory identifier tagging the array index. Once processed by the compiler, each array index is identified by a respective memory identifier, hence if the program instructions call for redefining an array during run time, its array element can still be retrieved by referring to the memory identifier it is tagged with.

Abstract: An example method of upgrading a host in a cluster under management of a lifecycle manager in a virtualized computing system includes: receiving, from the lifecycle manager at a host in the cluster being upgraded, a desired software specification for a hypervisor of the host; determining, by the host, a list of required software installation bundles (SIBs) to satisfy the desired software specification; identifying a neighboring host in the cluster for the host; downloading, from the neighboring host to the host, at least at portion of the required SIBs; and executing an upgrade of the hypervisor in the host using the required SIBs.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a platform-agnostic data pipeline via a low code transformation layer are disclosed. The system receives one or more user selections of (i) nodes and (ii) links linking the nodes, indicating a data pipeline architecture of transfer/management/flow of data via a GUI. In response to receiving a user selection to implement the data pipeline, the system automatically identifies/generates a set of code portions, based on one or more software objects (e.g., JSON objects) associated with the user selections indicating the data pipeline architecture. The system then identifies a platform identifier associated with a remote server and generates a set of executable instructions (e.g., a script, executable program, or other file) associated with the data pipeline architecture by using a transformation component. The system then provides the executable instructions to the remote server to host the data pipeline.

The example method can include obtaining a directly compiled resource associated with the operation request. The example method can include certifying one or more portions of the shared cache based at least in part on a comparison of the precompiled shared cache entry and the directly compiled resource.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to optimize a list of vector instructions using dynamic programming, in particular memoization, by generating a table containing instruction subvectors having individual (parts), contiguous (superparts) and repeated (broadcasts) lanes. Because the instructions in the table are subvectors selected to have individual, contiguous and repeated lanes in the registers, compiler optimizations can be enhanced. Introduction of such dynamic programming allows for speculative lane optimizations, as well as improved analysis-guided optimizations, either of which can be performed alone or in combination with other optimizations, whether or not they make use of dynamic programming.

Abstract: Decoupling loop dependencies using first in, first out (FIFO) buffers or other types of buffers to enable pipelining of loops is disclosed. By using buffers along with tailored ordering of their writes and reads, loop dependencies can be decoupled. This allows the loop to be pipelined and can lead to improved performance.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for managing an operating system. The method includes receiving a version upgrade request for the system. The method further includes using a target system image to upgrade the system from a first version to a second version corresponding to the target system image. The method further includes storing, in response to determining that the system operates normally within a first time period, the target system image to a first storage device for the system without updating a historical system image stored in a second storage device for the system, wherein the historical system image corresponds to the first version. In this way, by storing image files of different versions for selectively resetting the operating system in case of a failure, stability of the system after an upgrade is improved.
