  • Method and system for concise expression of optional code snippets in interrepted languages
    Patent number: 8549485
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the concise expression of optional code snippets in interpreted object-oriented programming language software applications is described. In one embodiment, the method includes defining a first class where the first class is a concise expression class that includes one or more objects. The method may also include including the concise expression class in a second class that includes one or more objects of the second class. The method may also include executing an expression in a software application to evaluate an object of the second class and returning an instance of an object of the concise expression class when data associated with the object of the second class does not exist within the software application.

  • Comparing source code using code statement structures
    Patent number: 8533668
    Abstract: A computer system identifies a plurality of source code files to be compared, parses each source code file to identify a code statement structure present in the file, and compares the plurality of source code files using corresponding code statement structures.

  • Keeping time in multi-processor virtualization environments
    Patent number: 8359488
    Abstract: A virtual machine receives a request for a current time. The virtual machine determines an approximation of the current time based on readings from one of a plurality of processors and compares the approximation to a virtual machine time stamp value. If the approximation is smaller than the virtual machine time stamp value, the virtual machine returns the global time stamp value as the current time and if the approximation is not smaller than the virtual machine time stamp value, the virtual machine returns the approximation as the current time.

  • KEEPING TIME IN MULTI-PROCESSOR VIRTUALIZATION ENVIRONMENTS
    Publication number: 20110252266
    Abstract: A virtual machine receives a request for a current time. The virtual machine determines an approximation of the current time based on readings from one of a plurality of processors and compares the approximation to a virtual machine time stamp value. If the approximation is smaller than the virtual machine time stamp value, the virtual machine returns the global time stamp value as the current time and if the approximation is not smaller than the virtual machine time stamp value, the virtual machine returns the approximation as the current time.
