Abstract: A method for controlling priority of dynamic compilation by a computer system is disclosed. A task is executed by using a thread pooled in a thread pool. A metric related to the dynamic compilation is monitored. And then, determination is done whether the metric meets a predetermined criterion. In returning of the thread to the thread pool for next execution, a lowering of priority of the thread is caused if the metric is determined to meet the predetermined criterion. The lowering of priority of the thread may be caused by causing the thread to sleep for a period of time before the returning. The metric may be a length of a compilation queue for the dynamic compilation or a utilization rate of a compiler thread executing the dynamic compilation.

Abstract: Mobile devices provide a variety of techniques for presenting messages from sources to a user. However, when the message pertains to the presence of the user at a location, the available communications techniques may exhibit deficiencies, e.g., reliance on the memory of the source and/or user of the existence and content of a message between its initiation and the user's visit to the location, or reliance on the communication accessibility of the user, the device, and/or the source during the user's location visit. Presented herein are techniques for enabling a mobile device, at a first time, to receive a request to present an audio message during the presence of the user at a location; and, at a second time, detecting the presence of the user at the location, and presenting the audio message to the user, optionally without awaiting a request from the user to present the message.
