  • Kernel-level method of flagging problems in applications
    Patent number: 7900092
    Abstract: A method of identifying problems in applications is provided. The method in one embodiment comprises monitoring at a kernel level system resource usage of one or more running applications without modifying run-time environments of the running applications and identifying from the monitored system usage, an application whose system usage pattern meets a predetermined criteria associated with one or more problems.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for version control for software development
    Patent number: 7861236
    Abstract: A method for constructing a software distribution image includes modifying zero or more to-be-compiled components of the software distribution image using pre-processing instructions to delineate modifications for inclusion or exclusion from a final compiled version of the to-be-compiled components. Modifying one or more not-to-be-compiled components of the software distribution image using pre-processing instructions to delineate modifications for inclusion or exclusion from a final ready-to-run version of the not-to-be compiled components. Preprocessing each of the zero or more to-be-compiled components to either include or exclude each of the delineated modifications of the to-be-compiled components based on desired characteristics of the software distribution image.

  • Antivirus product using in-kernal cache of file state
    Patent number: 7703139
    Abstract: A method for suppressing the generation of an event includes checking an in-kernel cache to determine if data relating to a file is within the in-kernel cache. Determining whether the file has been modified since a last time an event was generated for the file where data relating to a particular file is found to be within the in-kernel cache. Suppressing the generation of an event for the file where it is determined that the file has not been modified since the last time an event was generated for the file.

  • Using kernel level simulation techniques to improve application program robustness
    Patent number: 7130786
    Abstract: A method and system for simulating system conditions at a kernel-level is provided. In one aspect, process identifiers of processes for which simulation is to be performed are transmitted along with simulation pattern or rules from a user-space to a kernel space. Emulator in the kernel space intercepts system calls invoked by processes running in the user space. If the system calls originated from the one or more processes for which emulation was to be performed, return results according to the simulation pattern are generated and returned to the calling process.
