Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards integrating an application into an operating system component of a mobile computing platform. The application communicates registration information to an extension mechanism within the mobile computing platform. The extension mechanism registers the application and modifies the operating system component to provide interoperability with the application based on the registration information. The extension mechanism couples the operating system component with content from a counterpart application to the application, which corresponds to information presented on the operating system component.

Abstract: A developer-specific rapid development environment includes an instance of an application stack that is personal to a software developer. The personal application stack instance is a complete or partial replica of a production application stack executing in a service provider network. The personal application stack includes one or more software containers executing on the developer's development host (e.g. the developer's laptop, desktop, or virtual machine). An application under development can be deployed to and executed in the personal application stack instance. An instance of a workflow, which is also personal to the developer, can be instantiated for automating the execution of steps of a development workflow using the personal application stack instance such as, for example, building and testing the application, provisioning resources for use by the application, deploying the application and changes to the application to the personal application stack instance, and performing tests on the application.

Abstract: In a transactional memory environment, a computer-implemented method includes a first processor initiating a first transaction and encountering an abort condition. Responsive to the abort condition, an abort other request is communicated between the first processor and one or more additional processors. The one or more additional processors receive the abort other request, and, responsive to the abort other request, the one or more additional processors selectively abort a current second transaction based on the abort other request and an abort other condition. Optionally, the transactional memory environment supports a transaction category scheme, whereby each transaction has associated therewith a category identifier. In such embodiments, the abort other request includes an abort category identifier, and the abort other condition includes aborting the current second transaction if the abort category identifier matches the category identifier for the current second transaction.

Abstract: In a transactional memory environment including a first processor and one or more additional processors, a computer-implemented method includes identifying a memory location and sending a probe request from the first processor to the additional processors. The probe request includes the memory location. The computer implemented method further includes generating, by each additional processor, an indication including whether the memory location is in use for a transaction by the additional processor. The computer-implemented method further includes sending the indication from each additional processor to the first processor and proceeding, by the first processor, based on the indication.

Abstract: The current document discloses methods and systems for providing extensions to web-services APIs, including RESTful APIs, and to extend other types of interfaces that define client/server-based distributed computing systems. The disclosed methods and systems are facilitated by, and include, respectively, a link registry within one or more server computers, or that is accessible to the one or more server computers, that together provide a web service accessed through an API. The link registry stores link-registry entries, each of which specifies one or more links to be added to response messages associated with a particular resource. The link registry, like any resource, is associated with a set of verbs, or functions, that allow entries to be added to, and removed from, the link registry and that allow entries to be modified. The link registry can be used both by server-resident functionality as well as by functionality within external computers to extend an existing web service or API.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques to remotely access object events. An apparatus may comprise a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory may be operative to store a remote event bridge having a surrogate object that when executed by the processor is operative to allow an observer object for a first process to subscribe to an event of a subject object for a second process using the surrogate object. In this manner, the remote event bridge and the surrogate object operates as an interface between subject objects and observer objects without any modifications to either class of objects.

Abstract: A method and electronic device operating to launch an application. The method includes detecting an event associated with the application and, when an indicator of user presence is detected within a predetermined period of time after the event, launching the application. The method may further include loading the application in the background upon detecting the event if the application has not been loaded, wherein launching the application includes bringing the application to the foreground. The method may further include, when an indicator of user presence is not detected within the predetermined period of time after the event, closing the application loaded in the background.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing selection of non-uniform memory access (NUMA) nodes for mapping of virtual central processing unit (vCPU) operations to physical processors are provided. A CPU scheduler evaluates the latency between various candidate processors and the memory associated with the vCPU, and the size of the working set of the associated memory, and the vCPU scheduler selects an optimal processor for execution of a vCPU based on the expected memory access latency and the characteristics of the vCPU and the processors. The systems and methods further provide for monitoring system characteristics and rescheduling the vCPUs when other placements provide improved performance and efficiency.

Abstract: Method and system for aggregating data regarding a system component from multiple data sources to provide a single aggregated Common Information Model (“CIM”) object are described.
