  • Patent number: 10949180
    Abstract: An instrumentation analysis system processes data streams by executing instructions specified using a data stream language program. The data stream language allows users to specify a search condition using a find block for identifying the set of data streams processed by the data stream language program. The set of identified data streams may change dynamically. The data stream language allows users to group data streams into sets of data streams based on distinct values of one or more metadata attributes associated with the input data streams. The data stream language allows users to specify a threshold block for determining whether data values of input data streams are outside boundaries specified using low/high thresholds. The elements of the set of data streams input to the threshold block can dynamically change. The low/high threshold values can be specified as data streams and can dynamically change.

  • Patent number: 10877739
    Abstract: Methods for differencing and conversion of software application containers are performed by systems and devices. An initiation instruction that identifies an application container image associated with an operating system is received, and a request for the container image is provided to a repository. The container image is received and a converter extracts a portion of the container image and generates another container image of the application associated with a different operating system and that includes the extracted container image portion. Difference operations are performed on layers of different container images to isolate base layers, and application artifacts are identified for conversions in layers above the operating system. Similarly, container images are converted on the basis of processor instruction sets via binary translations, and applications native to different operating systems are generated based on original container images.

  • Patent number: 10817408
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for generating test cases. In one example, a manual test of code is performed. The manual test uses proxy code to detect at least one input to the code and a data transfer between the code and other code. The data transfer includes an input to the other code and an output from the other code. A file is generated that includes the at least one input to the code, the input to the other code, the output from the other code, and data that specifies that the manual test of the code resulted in an expected output. A mock test automates the manual test of the code based at least in part on the file.

  • Patent number: 10809981
    Abstract: A graphical block diagram can be used to execute multiple operating modes, such as a code generation or simulation mode. The graphical block diagram may include at least a first graphical block used solely in a first operating mode and a second graphical block used solely in a second operating mode. Each of the first and second graphical blocks includes a respective input receiving an input from a defined mode block. The defined mode block produces a mode output indicating a selection of one of the multiple operating modes. Other blocks of the graphical block diagram may be used in more than one operating mode. Depending on the value of the mode output, the graphical block diagram is interpreted according to the first or second operating mode. More than two operating modes are possible. The techniques described herein improve a model-based development platform.

  • Patent number: 10809985
    Abstract: A compiler can instrument a program during the front end of compilation to collect data about runtime behavior when the program is executed. Instrumentation can occur during source language processing rather than later in the compilation chain. The instrumentation can occur in between semantic analysis and code generation. The instrumentation can occur in an instrumenting rewriting phase. The instrumentation can occur in a first lowering phase in which high level constructs in a programming language are rewritten as lower level constructs in intermediate representation (IR). The compiler can inject the instrumentation code at particular points in the source code based on specified language constructs in the source program. The types of instrumentation injected can be extended by providing additional information to the compiler at compilation time, without the need to reprogram the compiler.

  • Patent number: 10776250
    Abstract: A service provider system receives an initial file set (specifying a customer input, an initial test case, and a customer output) created by a service provider system customer to test an application. The service provider system enables creation of a provider input based on the customer input, and creation of a provider output based on the customer output. The service provider system receives a revised file set (specifying the customer input, a revised test case, and the customer output) created by the customer to test the application. If the revised test case's switch is in a provider environment mode, the service provider system tests the application by executing the revised test case in a provider environment that is specific to the service provider system, by using the provider input to input data for the revised test case and using the provider output to output data from the revised test case.

  • Patent number: 10776517
    Abstract: In various embodiments, fulfilling a data subject access request may be particularly costly. In some embodiments, a company may store data regarding a particular data subject in multiple different locations for a plurality of different reasons as part of a plurality of different processing and other business activities. For example, a particular data subject may be both a customer and an employee of a particular company or organization. Accordingly, in some embodiments, fulfilling a data subject access request for a particular data subject may involve a plurality of different information technology (IT) professionals in a plurality of different departments of a particular company or organization. As such, it may be useful to determine a cost of a particular data subject access request (e.g., particularly because, in some cases, a data subject is entitled to a response to their data subject access request as a matter of right at no charge).

  • Patent number: 10776085
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for creating a program for a multi-processor system comprising a plurality of interspersed processors and memories. A user may specify or create source code using a programming language. The source code specifies a plurality of tasks and communication of data among the plurality of tasks. However, the source code may not (and preferably is not required to) 1) explicitly specify which physical processor will execute each task and 2) explicitly specify which communication mechanism to use among the plurality of tasks. The method then creates machine language instructions based on the source code, wherein the machine language instructions are designed to execute on the plurality of processors. Creation of the machine language instructions comprises assigning tasks for execution on respective processors and selecting communication mechanisms between the processors based on location of the respective processors and required data communication to satisfy system requirements.
