Abstract: A service provider system may include an application fulfillment platform that delivers desktop applications on demand to desktops on physical computing devices or virtual desktop instances of end users. An application delivery agent installed on an end user's computing resource instance may store application state data (e.g., configuration data, runtime settings, or application templates) or scratch data that is generated by an application executing on the computing resource instance to a secure location on service provider storage resources. After a machine failure or change, or a rebuilding of a virtualized computing resource instance or virtual desktop instance, an application delivery agent installed on the new machine or instance may reinstall the application, retrieve the stored application state or scratch data from service provider resources, and restore the application to the last known persisted state.

In one example, an application programming interface for an application is provided, the interface including an interface object. A proxy object is created for the interlace object. At the proxy object, method calls from the application for the interface object are received, recorded, and passed to the interface object. An execution trace including the recorded method calls is generated.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to performing run-time instrumentation. Run-time instrumentation is captured, by a processor, based on an instruction stream of instructions of an application program executing on the processor. The capturing includes storing the run-time instrumentation data in a collection buffer of the processor. A run-time instrumentation sample point trigger is detected by the processor. Contents of the collection buffer are copied into a program buffer as a reporting group based on detecting the run-time instrumentation sample point trigger. The program buffer is located in main storage in an address space that is accessible by the application program.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the deployment and execution of a software offering. During operation, the system obtains a set of requirements associated with a service definition of the software offering. Next, the system uses the requirements to automatically provision a set of infrastructure slices for use by the software offering without requiring manual configuration of the resources by a user, wherein each of the infrastructure slices includes a set of resources configured to support a workload associated with the software offering.

Abstract: A virtualization manager executing on a processing device adds a host to a list of hosts associated with the virtualization manager. The virtualization manager identifies a list of external VMs running on the host that are not managed by the virtualization manager. The virtualization manager obtains detailed information for each of the external VMs running on the host from an agent running on the host. The virtualization manager then manages the external VMs running on the host using the detailed information.

Abstract: A package manager receives a request to install a version of an application on a host server, the version of the application having an associated database script provided by database scripts package. The package manager determines a currently installed schema in a management database associated with the host server and compares the database script associated with the application to the currently installed schema in the management database. Prior to installing the version of the application, the package manager verifies that the database script is installed and updated to match the database schema and performs the database upgrade if required.

Abstract: An information handling system, method, and computer-readable media for obfuscating debugging filenames during a software build are described. The system comprises one or more processors, a memory, and one or more program modules stored on the memory and executable by the one or more processors. The one or more program modules compile a source code file of a plurality of source code files into a program, generate a debugging file including debugging information for the program, utilize a one-way deterministic function to generate an obfuscated filename for the debugging file, and include a link to the debugging file in the program, the link including the obfuscated filename.

Abstract: A method is used in managing object deletion. Updated information about a system is repeatedly polled for. An information set is received identifying an object to be deleted from a system management model that is descriptive of the system. An iterative process is applied to determine other objects in the system management model that are unidentified in the information set and that are affected by deletion of the object. The object is deleted.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for loading classes to virtual machines and a method and apparatus for reorganizing class archives. The method for loading a class to a virtual machine includes organizing a class archive before class loading such that the organized class archive includes a class contraction portion and loading only the class contraction portion of the class archive to the virtual machine at the moment of class loading. By first loading the class contraction portion from the organized class archive to the virtual machine at the moment of loading, the present invention curtails code redundancy, shortens loading time and reduces occupied memory resources.

Abstract: A system provides workflow management functions over a messaging or data protocol. A workflow management object defining functions and values and events for sending and receiving workflow management data is defined on a first device and transmitted to a second device. On the second device the workflow is rendered for interaction and response, and an interaction with the workflow object is captured. A captured or generated response is transmitted back to the first device or intermediary system via the messaging protocol. The response to the workflow object (e.g. an event) may be used by the device or intermediary systems to update a status of a workflow such as hosted by a remote server system. Events detected by a workflow system may invoke processing of subsequent workflow objects in a chain such that a complex workflow may be processed over the messaging protocol.

Abstract: A system and method for load balancing between components of a distributed data grid. The system and method support dynamic data migration of selected data partitions in response to detection of hot spots in the data grid which degrade system performance.

Tuning of the data migration thresholds and method provides for optimizing throughput of the data grid to avoid degradation of performance resulting from load-induced hot spots.

Abstract: Systems and methods for source-to-source transformation for compiler optimization for many integrated core (MIC) coprocessors, including identifying data dependencies in candidate loops and data elements used in each iteration for arrays, profiling candidate loops to find a proper number m, wherein data transfer and computation for m iterations take an equal amount of time, and creating an outer loop outside the candidate loop, with each iteration of the outer loop executing m iterations of the candidate loop. Data streaming is performed by determining optimum buffer size for one or more arrays and inserting code before the outer loop to create optimum sized buffers, overlapping data transfer between central processing units (CPUs) and MICs with the computation; reusing buffers to reduce memory employed on the MICs, and reusing threads on MICs to repeatedly launch kernels on the MICs for asynchronous data transfer.

Abstract: Disclosed aspects include a debugger evaluating an expression. The expression has a debug element. Using dynamic analysis, a set of state information related to the debug element is identified. The set of state information can be generated external to the debugger and used within the debugger subsequent to being generated. Utilizing the set of state information, a tolerance parameter is selected. The tolerance parameter is for a conditional breakpoint linked with the debug element. In response to selecting the tolerance parameter, a triggering event for the conditional breakpoint may be detected. Based on the tolerance parameter, it may be determined to disregard the triggering event. Subsequently, the triggering event can be disregarded. Altogether, aspects of the disclosure provide a methodology for debug management that may provide performance or efficiency benefits.
