  • MONITORING PROCESSES RUNNING ON A PLATFORM AS A SERVICE ARCHITECTURE
    Publication number: 20180121307
    Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for monitoring processes running on a platform as a service architecture. One example method includes storing a received sample of monitored attributes of a computer process in a sample memory buffer that includes other stored samples. A determination is made that the sample memory buffer is full. The sample memory buffer is compressed. A starting position in a compressed sample file store at which to store the compressed sample memory buffer is determined. The compressed sample memory buffer is stored at the determined starting position in the compressed sample file store. The starting position of the stored compressed sample memory buffer is stored at a particular location in a file position index. A collection timestamp for the sample in a timestamp index is stored at a timestamp index location that matches the particular location in the file position index.

  • Apparatus for the after-cooling of bases
    Patent number: 9545746
    Abstract: A method of after-cooling of the bases of blown out containers, wherein after the transfer of the blown out containers from a blow molding machine to a run-out star wheel which directly follows the blow molding machine along a conveying direction of the containers a cooling of the bases of the containers is carried out by at least one apparatus for cooling the bases. The cooling of the bases of the containers starts immediately during a time interval of at least 0.1 seconds and at most 2 seconds after a pressure release of the containers by the blow molding machine after the blowing out.

  • Memory Based Hardware Breakpoints
    Publication number: 20110154111
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for managing hardware breakpoints within a computing environment comprising a processor and a memory unit with addressable words being extended using metadata. A setting or deleting of a breakpoint is issued at a specific address within the memory unit by forwarding from the processor to the memory unit the metadata. An addressable word is requested from the memory unit by forwarding a physical address of the addressable word via an address bus from the processor to the memory unit. The physical address is decoded to find the addressable word within the memory unit. Responsive to the metadata associated with the addressable word being available, the metadata is provided to the processor. A checking is made as to whether a breakpoint is set in the metadata. Responsive to the breakpoint being found in the metadata, an interrupt is triggered thereby executing the breakpoint.
