  • Patent number: 11416239
    Abstract: In one embodiment, one or more computing systems executes a computer program defining (1) a bound value that references a bound variable and (2) a terminating bound value that references computation instructions for deriving a runtime value from at least the bound value of the bound variable. A computation orchestration layer of a programming framework initializes, according to the computer program, a subscription tracker that tracks subscription relationships between the bound variable and the terminating bound value. The computation orchestration layer uses, in response to receiving an indication of an update to the bound value of the bound variable, the subscription tracker to determine that the terminating bound value subscribes to updates to the bound value of the bound variable. The computation orchestration layer sends an update stream associated with the update to a callback function associated with the terminating bound value.

  • Patent number: 10558440
    Abstract: In an example, there is disclosed a computing system, including: a processor; a memory; a configuration interface to a logic configuration unit; and a system compiler including: a first block compiler to compile logic for a first logical block in a first language, the first language being a domain-specific language (DSL) and the first logical block being switching logic for a network switch; a second block compiler to compile logic for a second logical block in a second language, the second language being a non-DSL and providing an external accelerator method not supported by the first language; and an interface compiler to define input/output channels for encapsulated data interchange between the first logical block and the second logical block, wherein the encapsulated data interchange is to target a resident instance of the external accelerator method.

  • Patent number: 9652313
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is disclosed that includes executing, by a device, one or more programs that use asynchronous message passing. The one or more programs comprise instrumentation code that causes message context information to be generated regarding asynchronous messages passed by the one or more programs. The message context information is indicative of one or more points within the one or more programs at which a particular message is sent or received. The method includes maintaining a current message context associated with a particular portion of the one or more programs. The method includes receiving a first asynchronous message that includes message context information for the received message. The method includes updating the current message context to include the message context information received via the first asynchronous message.
