Abstract: Analyzing task associations may compute artifact associations for a plurality of artifacts based on historical task submission logs. From the computed artifact associations, shared artifacts that have artifact association with targeted artifacts that are associated with planned tasks, may be determined. Task association between the planned tasks may be identified based on the shared artifacts. Task associations may be analyzed to determine one or more of task assignment and task schedule for the planned tasks.

Abstract: A graphical user interface for a manufacturing execution system (MES) wherein a client application builder tool (CAB) enables a user to display MES screens and customize MES applications and/or proprietary applications. A MES database contains required data stemming from a production process to be displayed on the MES screens. Specification data are determined in a configuration file with a meta-data fixed structure enabling the generation of a configuration interface. A dynamically built and WEB-technology based GUI configuration tool is executed, calling the specification data and offering the user the configuration interface within the GUI configuration tool to create the GUI according to the specification data. The configuration interface is generated by using the meta-data fixed structure. The graphical user interface is created according to data entries made to the configuration interface. The data from the MES database are filled into the respective data fields, creating the MES screens.

Abstract: Techniques relate to automated compiler operation verification. In response to performing an optimization to a compiler configured to execute on a processor of a computer system, a determination is made of whether a fingerprint is present in software that is currently executing on the processor of the computer system. The software is compiled by the compiler, and the fingerprint comprises a representation of a sequence of behavior that occurs on the processor while the software is executing. The fingerprint is configured to correspond to the optimization of the compiler. In response to determining that the fingerprint is not present in the software currently executing on the processor, a determination is made that optimization to the compiler has not occurred. In response to determining that the fingerprint is present in the software executing on the processor, a verification is made that the optimization of the compiler has occurred.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for operating programs on a computer cluster comprising cluster resources. The cluster resources comprise non-virtual real hardware resources with variable configurations and virtual resources. Each cluster resource has a configuration description and a type. Each type has a unique type identification and descriptions of operations that can be performed by the cluster resource of the each type. Each program is operable for: requesting usage of the cluster resource specifying the type and the configuration description; and requesting a modification of the variable configuration of the non-virtual real hardware resource with the variable configuration. Execution of each program requires the dedicated execution environment on the computer cluster. The generation of each dedicated execution environment requires one or more dedicated virtual resources and one or more dedicated non-virtual real hardware resources with the variable configurations.

Abstract: A “code splitting tool” provides various techniques for automatically analyzing and rewriting existing browser-based applications to introduce dynamic code loading into those applications thereby improving perceived application responsiveness. Structural elements of application code (including functions, classes, etc.) are broken into small “stubs” with corresponding bodies. Rewritten applications then initially transfer only the portion of the code (including some combination of stubs and bodies) to the client as necessary for initial application execution. Additional stubs and/or bodies are then transferred either on-demand at runtime or in the background. Automated code rewriting proceeds without requiring any application-specific knowledge or changes to existing code prior to code rewriting. Further, the code splitting tool can tailor code rewriting to specific computing devices (computers, PDA's, cell phones, etc.

Abstract: Approaches for providing operating environments selective access to network resources. A guest operating system, executing on a device, may issue a request to a network device for access to a set of network resources. Once the guest operating system authenticates itself to the network device, the network device provides, to the guest operating system, access to the set of network resources. Note that the host operating system, executing on the device, does not have access to the set of network resources. A guest operating system may be provided access to an untrusted network in a manner that denies the host operating system access to the untrusted network. In this way, any malicious code inadvertently introduced into the host operating system cannot access the untrusted network for unscrupulous purposes.

Abstract: A data processing system includes a processor core and ordering scope manager circuitry. The processor core sends an indication of a first ordering scope identifier for a current ordering scope a task currently being executed by the processor core and a second ordering scope identifier for a next-in-order ordering scope of the task. The ordering scope manager receives the indication the first and second ordering scope identifiers from processor core, and, provides a no task switch indicator to the processor core in response to determining that the first task is a first-in-transition-order task for the first ordering scope identifier and that processor core is authorized to execute the next-in-order ordering scope. The processor core transitions from executing in the current ordering scope to executing in the next-in-order ordering scope without performing task switch in response to the no task switch indicator being provided.

Abstract: A data processing system includes a processor core and a hardware module. The processor core performs tasks on data packets. The hardware module stores a first ordering scope identifier at a first storage location of the ordering scope manager. The first ordering scope identifier indicates a first ordering scope that a first task is operating in. The ordering scope manager increments the first ordering scope identifier to create a new ordering scope identifier. In response to determining that the processor core is authorized to transition the first task from the first ordering scope to a second ordering scope associated with the new ordering scope identifier, the ordering scope manager provides hint information to the processor core. The processor core transitions from the first ordering scope to the second ordering scope without completing a task switch in response to the hint information.
