Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide “undo” (e.g., rollback) features, along with data management simplification features, to an update package model of software suite development/evolution. New functions, which may have disruption effects for customers, may be installed into the core configuration data with inactive switches. Upon activation, a switch status may change, and a query filter may use the activated function (e.g., as associated with the switch ID). Original functions may be maintained, giving the user the ability to deactivate an activated function, and thereby reverting the system back to the prior configuration status.

Abstract: The present invention relates to system and a method for the generation of a source code for a computer program for the execution and/or simulation of a process from a process description, in particular graphical, independent of the source code. The system comprises a process generator and a source code generator. The process generator is so designed that clusters with several subjects are generated automatically, while all possible message exchanges between the subjects are generated at the same time as subjects are generated. The process generator provides functions for the deletion of individual automatically messages and a function for the generation of individual messages between one of the subjects of the cluster and a subject which is not part of this cluster.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of executing a computer program in accordance with a declarative dynamic control flow in a continuation-based runtime. A declarative dynamic control flow identifies a set of continuations. A representation of logic that corresponds to the declarative dynamic control flow is provided in accordance with execution of the computer program in the continuation-based runtime. The declarative dynamic control flow identifies a set of continuations. Each continuation identifies a respective rule, which defines a respective event, and a respective action, which is to be performed upon occurrence of the respective event. A determination is made that a specified event occurs. The set of continuations is dynamically modified based on occurrence of the specified event.

Abstract: Embodiments may provide a makefile interposer, which enables a makefile to be used for building software for different platforms without modifying the makefile. In some embodiments, the interposer intercepts the commands run by makefile and automatically interposes the correct library files, dependencies, paths, and other information used by make to build the program for a particular platform. Additionally, calls that the invoked tools themselves make are intercepted and the interposer may redirect them to the platform-specific tools or file system locations including redirecting file descriptors. In some instances, when a tool is called that is not in the platform, the interposer may also fall back on the other system tools.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for data collection and analysis of information related to applications. Specifically, the developer of the application may install analytic software, which may be embodied as a software development kit (SDK), on an integrated development environment (“IDE”) associated with the developer, wherein the analytic software may be installed with a wizard-like interface having a series of easy to follow instructions. Once installed, the application, with the analytic software incorporated therein, may be provided and installed on a plurality of end user devices. Thereafter, the analytic software may work in conjunction with analytic processing logic to assist the developer in obtaining pertinent information related to bugs associated with the application that is being executed on an end user device.

Abstract: A system and method of compiling program code, wherein the program code includes an operation on an array of data elements stored in memory of a computer system. The program code is scanned for an equation which operates on data of lengths other than the limited number of vector supported data lengths.

The exterior loop decomposes the equation into a plurality of loops of length N, wherein N is an integer greater than one. The virtual interior loop executes vector operations corresponding to the N length loop to form a result vector of length N, wherein the virtual interior loop includes one or more vector atomic memory operation (AMO) instructions, used to resolve false conflicts.
