Abstract: A method for compiling source code may include obtaining an abstract syntax tree (AST) node of an AST generated from the source code. The AST node may include a first value and a second value. The method may further include obtaining, for the AST node, an intermediate representation (IR) graph, determining that the first value is a constant, propagating the first value to the IR graph to obtain a first partially evaluated IR graph, and generating, for the AST node, a compiler. The first partially evaluated IR graph corresponds to a result of executing the compiler. The method may further include determining, by the compiler, that the second value is a constant, propagating, by the compiler, the second value to the first partially evaluated IR graph to obtain a second partially evaluated first IR graph, and executing the AST node using the second partially evaluated IR graph.

Abstract: A method may include obtaining, for a thread executing application code, a recurring task, a recurring interval, a previous callback time, a starting counter value, and a counter trigger, initializing a current counter value to the starting counter value, and performing checks in response to adjustments to the current counter value. Each check may determine whether the respective adjusted current counter value satisfies the counter trigger. The method may further include in response to a check determining that the adjusted current counter value satisfies the counter trigger, invoking a callback handler with a callback that performs the recurring task, and in response to an elapsed time exceeding the recurring interval, executing, by the callback handler, the callback. The elapsed time may be an amount of time elapsed between the previous callback time and the first invocation. The method may further include modifying the starting counter value using the elapsed time.

Abstract: A method may include generating, for a host application, an image including an image heap including objects and a writeable object partition including a subset of the objects. The method may further include initializing, by executing the image in a process of a computer system, a first isolate including a first address space and a first read-only map of the image heap. The first read-only map may designate the writeable object partition of the image heap as copy-on-write. The method may further include initializing, by executing the image in the process, a second isolate including a second address space and a second read-only map of the image heap. The method may further include performing, in the first isolate and using the first read-only map, a first task that accesses an object, and performing, in the second isolate and using the second read-only map, a second task that accesses the object.

Abstract: A method and a control device are provided for operating a road-coupled hybrid vehicle. The hybrid vehicle has an electronic control unit, a primary motor associated with a first axle, and a secondary motor associated with a second axle. By way of the electronic control unit, the primary motor and the secondary motor are basically controlled in a drive-oriented manner such that preferentially only a single-axle drive by the primary motor is provided. Beginning with the secondary motor switched off, when a traction requirement is determined, the secondary motor is switched on, regardless of whether the vehicle is traveling on a curve. Beginning with the secondary motor switched on, when a traction requirement is not present, the secondary motor is not switched off until it is determined that the vehicle is not, or is no longer, traveling on a curve.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a laser device being formed of at least one VCSEL (15) with intracavity contacts. The VCSEL comprises a layer structure (18) with an active region (6) between a first DBR (4) and a second DBR (10), a first current-injection layer (5) of a first conductivity type between the first DBR (4) and the active region (6), and a second current-injection layer (8) of a second conductivity type between the second DBR (10) and the active region (6). The first and second current-injection layers (5, 8) are in contact with a first and a second metallic contact (11, 12), respectively. The first and/or second DBR (4, 10) are formed of alternating Aluminum oxide and Al(x)Ga(1?x)As containing layers. The proposed design of this VCSEL allows an increased efficiency and lower production costs of such a laser since the top and bottom DBRs may be formed of a considerable reduced thickness.
