Abstract: Examples described herein relate to launching a function instance based on data related to a previously launched instance of the function and prior to receipt of a portion of the data. In some examples, the memory snapshot is taken during launch of the previously launched instance of the function. In some examples, the first code segments that are loaded into memory of a runtime environment during the launch of the previously launched instance of the function in a life cycle execution of the previously launched instance of the function. In some examples, the launching a function instance based on data related to a previously launched instance of the function and prior to receipt of a portion of the data includes: at least partially in parallel: clone the memory snapshot and receive the first code segments into memory.

Abstract: System, method and computer program product for allocating physical memory to processes. The method includes enabling a kernel to free memory in a physical memory space corresponding to arbitrarily sized memory allocations released by processes or applications in a virtual memory space. After freeing the memory, the system determines whether freed physical memory in the physical memory space spans one or more fixed size memory units (e.g., page frames). The method further includes designating a status of the one or more page frames as available for reuse; the freed page frames marked as available for reuse being available for backing a new process without requiring the kernel to delete data included in the freed memory released by the process.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for detecting computer viruses. The method allows receipt of an electronic mail message that includes at least one encrypted attachment. The electronic mail message is examined in order to identify potential encryption codes. The encryption codes are used in order to attempt and decrypt the attachments. The attachments are expanded into one or more files. The files are then checked for the presence of computer viruses.
