  • Patent number: 11775271
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for translating source code in one programming language to source code in another programming language using machine learning. A method includes: receiving first source code in a first higher-level programming language; processing the first source code, or an intermediate representation thereof, using a sequence-to-sequence neural network model to generate a sequence of outputs, each including a probability distribution; generating second source code in a second higher-level programming language by, for each output in the sequence of outputs: determining a highest probability in the probability distribution associated with the output; in response to the highest probability exceeding a first threshold, generating a predicted portion of the second source code based on a token that corresponds to the highest probability; and in response to the highest probability not exceeding the first threshold, generating a placeholder; and outputting the second source code.

  • Patent number: 11748611
    Abstract: Reinforcement learning enables a framework of information technology assets that include software elements, computational hardware assets, and/or, bundled software and computational hardware systems and products. The performance of successive sessions of an inner loop reinforcement learning is directed and monitored by an outer loop reinforcement learning wherein the outer loop reinforcement learning is designed to reduce financial costs and computational asset requirements and/or optimize learning time in successive instantiations of inner loop reinforcement learning training sessions. The framework enables consideration of the license costs of domain specific simulators, the usage cost of hardware platforms, and the progress of a particular reinforcement learning training. The framework further enables reductions of these costs to orchestrate and train a neural network under budget constraints with respect to the available hardware and software licenses available at runtime.

  • Patent number: 11675584
    Abstract: Techniques for visualizing dependent relationships in computer program analysis trace elements are described. A code analysis service analyzes computer code associated with a software application for at least one of errors or policy violations. The service outputs a trace log identifying a path within the computer code that results in an error or policy violation. The trace log includes a set of trace elements each corresponding to a line of the computer code. The output is displayed as a tree data structure including nodes. The nodes may include indentations indicating dependent relationships between and among variables initialized at lines in the computer code corresponding to the nodes. Alternatively, the nodes may be arranged as a hierarchy with edges connecting adjacent nodes, and nodes at different levels indicating dependent relationships. The tree data structure may include annotations providing additional contextual information about the actions performed at each node.

  • Patent number: 11675572
    Abstract: In a computer comprising multiple processing units, a method of exchanging read only elements between the processing units is described. The read only elements may be code or data, such as vector or matrix data for an AI graph. A master processing unit is identified. At compile time, at least one shareable read only element is allocated to the master processing unit. The at least one shareable read only element is stored in the local memory of the master processing unit. At compile time a transmitting exchange code sequence designated to be executed at the execution stage of the master processing unit is also allocated to the master processing unit. At a time point determined at compile time, the transmitting exchange code sequence causes the processing unit to identify the shareable read only element and to generate a message to be transmitted for reception by another processing unit, the message comprising the shareable read only data element.

  • Patent number: 11663547
    Abstract: Evolutionary learning techniques are used to validate and prioritize open source software libraries for subsequently determining the best open source software library for a specified technical project. Data associated with the open source software candidates is collected into a cluster and, at an eligibility layer, a fitness score is determined for each of the open source software candidate. Candidates that are determined to meet a required fitness score threshold are passed to the crossover layer, at which, software and hardware standards rules are applied to the open source software metadata to validate the open source software. Invalid candidates are held in queue and subjected to rework analysis. A mutation layer executes the crossover layer iteratively until a predetermined volume of open source candidates results. A ranking layer provides a prioritized ranking list, based on the fitness score, of those open source software candidates that have validated.
