  • Patent number: 11829733
    Abstract: Implementing an application for a data processing engine (DPE) array can include detecting, using computer hardware, a component of a hardware library package instantiated by an application. The application is specified in source code and is configured to execute on a DPE array. An instance of the component is extracted from the application. The extracted instance specifies values of parameters for the instance of the component. The instance can be partitioned by generating program code defining one or more kernels corresponding to the instance of the component. The partitioning is based on a defined performance metric of the component and a defined performance requirement of the application. The application is transformed by replacing the instance of the component with the program code generated by the partitioning.

  • Patent number: 11797281
    Abstract: A machine learning model is trained to translate source code from one or more programming languages into a common programming language. The machine learning model translates source code from the other languages into the common programming language. A language embedder generates a vector for each function in the source code, all of which is now in the common programming language. A user provides a text search query which is converted by a language embedder to a vector. Based on the vector of the text search query and the vectors for the source code, search results are generated and presented in a user interface. Additional machine learning models may be trained and used to measure function complexity, test coverage, documentation quantity and complexity, or any suitable combination thereof. These measures may be used to determine which search results to present, an order in which to present search results, or both.
