  • Providing an overview of a large event sample period that supports triage and navigation
    Patent number: 8368697
    Abstract: A system and method for providing an overview of a plurality of tasks running on a target environment which includes the steps of receiving event data representing a plurality of events in the plurality of contexts over a monitoring period displaying a detailed graphical representation of the event data log using the event data, and displaying a schematic representation of the detailed graphical representation over the monitoring period using only a portion of the event data. The schematic representation is indicative of an activity density of the event data over the monitoring period.

  • Automatic gopher program generator
    Publication number: 20050235277
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically generating a gopher program is provided. The system invokes a debugger and loads a type library into the debugger. The type library containing information regarding each data type used in a program. The system reads each line of a command file, wherein the command file is comprised of literal text and one or more predefined instructions. For each predefined instruction read, the system calls a corresponding function in the debugger and the debugger returns a numerical offset value based upon information in the type library. The system copies the each line of the command file to an output file, with each predefined instruction replaced with its corresponding offset value.
