  • Diagnostics of state transitions
    Patent number: 10545852
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing computer readable instructions related to transfers of control is disclosed. A state transition of a unit of execution within a logical operation providing an event handler for a Document Object Model is logged during runtime of the computer readable instructions. Diagnostic information of the logical operation is associated with the state transition. The state transition and associated diagnostic information is provided for retrieval at a selected point in the computer readable instructions.

  • Object marshaling
    Patent number: 9674637
    Abstract: Object marshaling techniques in a marshaling system for computer networks are disclosed. A gesture is provided to the object marshaling system that a reference object has expired on a sender side and a target side when the reference object is closed. Parent and child relationships are recognized in a descendent reference object to the reference object. The descendent reference object closes when the reference object closes.

  • Work item processing in distributed applications
    Patent number: 8972997
    Abstract: A system for organizing messages related to tasks in a distributed application is disclosed. The system includes a work-list creator to create a work list of the top-level work items to be accomplished in performing a task. Work-item processors are distributed in the system. The work-item processors process the top-level work item included in a task and also append additional work items to the work list. A work-list scheduler invokes the work-item processors so local work-item processors are invoked prior to remote work-item processors.

  • Debugging support for tasks in multithreaded environments
    Patent number: 8156476
    Abstract: A debugger enhancement provides a debug-task-provider interface whose implementation includes routines designed to support debugging of programs that contain tasks written for a specific programming model. Task creation hierarchies, individual task properties, resource dependencies, synchronization dependencies, and other information can be made accessible during debugging, through a model-independent interface. In a multithreaded environment, a mapping between tasks and threads is also available.
