Abstract: A task scheduling method and system, and a hardware task scheduler are disclosed, and pertain to the field of computer technologies. The hardware task scheduler provides task scheduling for a central processing unit CPU core to select a candidate task. After selecting the candidate task, the CPU core actively sends metadata of the candidate task to a first storage area, and actively sends a context of the candidate task to a cache, where the first storage area is located in storage space whose access speed is higher than that of a memory. When performing task switching, the CPU core reads the metadata of the candidate task from the first storage area, and reads the context of the candidate task from the cache. In this way, latency of obtaining the metadata and the context of the candidate task by the CPU core is reduced, and low-latency task switching is implemented.

Abstract: Determination and provision of improved representations of program flow control are provided by a method that monitors execution of binary code of a program on a computer system. The monitoring includes monitoring manipulation(s) of call stack(s) maintained by the computer system for the execution of the binary code. The method, based on the monitoring, determines function call pattern(s) and branch pattern(s) exhibited by the execution of the binary code. The method identifies, from the binary code and using the determined function call pattern(s) and branch pattern(s), function calls and branches, relations between the function calls and branches, and function and variable names. The method also provides a representation of program flow control of the program using the identified function calls and branches, relations, and function and variable names.

Abstract: Passive monitoring the integrity of current sensing devices and associated circuitry in GFCI and AFCI protective devices is provided. A protection circuit interrupter employs a capacitively coupled noise signal obtained by an arrangement of one or both of line side arms relative to a Rogowski coil. The noise signal is monitored while the line and load sides of a protective circuit interrupter are disconnected, and the connection of the line and load sides disabled if the noise signal fails to correlate sufficiently to a reference noise cycle. When the line and load sides are connected, the RMS value of the observed current signal is monitored such that the line and load sides are disconnected if the observed current signal fails to meet an RMS threshold. The observed current signal is compensated by subtracting the reference noise cycle prior to monitoring for the fault condition applicable to the protective device.
