Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for operating an enterprise resource planning system. The method includes running a placeholder job in said enterprise resource planning system in response to a request from at least one client application for notification of at least one background processing event, wherein the placeholder job is executed in response to the at least one background processing event.

Abstract: A system and associated method for optimizing memory allocation and garbage collection. An allocation modifier is employed to declare a data object in a source code. The allocation modifier describes an expected lifespan of the data object being declared. The interpreter allocates the data object in an area of a heap space that is associated with the expected lifespan such that a garbage collector suffers from less overhead in scanning data objects that will survive a garbage collection cycle. Also, the heap space also has less fragmentation as the data object is allocated in the area associated with the expected lifespan such that the data object does not need to be relocated.

Abstract: A method of optimizing a performance of an executable program where the executable program including an executable code portion and a dynamic meta-data portion, the executable code portion and the dynamic meta-data portion being hard-linked together and the dynamic meta-data portion being configured to enhance an operation of the executable code portion. The method includes reading the meta-data. The executable code is then executed while the execution of the executable code is optimized based on the meta-data. Statistical data regarding an operation of the execution of the executable code is collected during the program's run. The dynamic meta-data is updated with the collected statistical data at an ending portion of the executable code.

Abstract: A system of calculating a navigation route based on an estimated energy consumption value that assigns a distance weight coefficient for each of the plurality of potential routes that corresponds to an estimated distance energy consumption value. The system also determines a cumulative interference weight coefficient for each of the plurality of potential routes corresponding to an estimated interference energy consumption value based on traversing at least one interference event in the potential route. Each cumulative interference weight coefficient may include a fixed event interference weight coefficient, a probable event interference weight coefficient, and a scheduled event interference weight coefficient.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for run monitoring of processes in a digital computer. In accordance with the present invention, time-stamped analysis data are manipulated such that the analysis data can be output in a freely selectable time sequence and at a freely selectable rate. This enables user-friendly run monitoring of backup operations.
