Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for partitioning a predecessor thread program into sub-programs and dynamically spawning a thread grid of the sub-programs based on the outcome of a conditional statement in the predecessor thread program. The programming instructions for the predecessor thread program are analyzed to assess the benefit of partitioning the thread program at a conditional statement into sub-programs. If the predecessor thread program is partitioned, then each branch of the conditional statement may be used to form a separate sub-program. Predicate tables are populated at the predecessor thread program run-time to establish which possible instances of the thread sub-programs should be spawned in subsequent execution phases.

Firmware configured to suspend operations upon receiving a programming signal is installed on the processor. A controlling computing device send the programming signal, causing the processor to halt execution, erase portions of the firmware, set an update firmware flag, and send control signals to the controlling computing device. The remote computing device sends updated firmware and an application program cyclic redundancy check to the processor. The processor compares a cyclic redundancy check of an on-chip flash memory with the received application program cyclic redundancy check. If the two match, the processor installs the received firmware, unsets the update firmware flag, and restarts itself.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide computer-implemented methods, computer-readable media, and systems for changing the identifier associated with an entity, such as a variable or function, in a portion of code. During editing, a reference may be maintained that identifies the location of each instance of the entity in the code. When the identifier associated with one instance of the entity is changed, the change in the identifier may be propagated throughout the code to change each instance of the identifier in the code. The identifier may be changed without interrupting the workflow of the user and without the need to change to a separate refactoring mode. In some embodiments, a syntactical analysis may be performed and some or all instances of the identifier may be changed based on one or more rules.
