Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates execution of a software program. During operation, the system obtains one or more user-defined rules for configuring a memory layout of an object instance in a software program, wherein the one or more user-defined rules are created separately from source code for the software program. Next, the system generates the memory layout of the object instance by applying the one or more user-defined rules to one or more fields of the object instance. The system then executes the software program using the generated memory layout of the object instance.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the execution of a software program. During operation, the system determines a structure of a software program and an execution context for the software program from a set of possible execution contexts for the software program, wherein the software program includes one or more object instances. Next, the system uses the structure and the execution context to identify a portion of an object instance from the one or more object instances that is determined to inefficiently use memory space in the software program. The system then provides a refactoring of the object instance that reduces use of the memory space in the object instance.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates execution of a software program. During operation, the system displays a visualization of a memory layout of an object instance in a software program, wherein the visualization includes one or more fields in the object instance. Next, the system receives user input that customizes the memory layout. The system then processes the user input by updating the displayed visualization to reflect customization of the memory layout by the user input and storing, in association with the software program, one or more rules that, when processed during instantiation of the object instance, configure the memory layout of the object instance based on the user input.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates execution of a software program. During operation, the system obtains an execution unit associated with execution of a software program, wherein the execution unit includes a start and an end. Next, the system identifies a set of fields accessed within the execution unit.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are presented for managing remote computers that are separated from their manager by a firewall. In one or more embodiments, the apparatus includes one or more computer sub-systems managed by the remote manager. Each sub-system includes a processor and a communication interface coupled to the processor, where the communication interface is further coupled to the remote manager via a network. A firewall is implemented between each sub-system and the remote manager such that the firewall blocks accesses to the sub-system from the remote manager. Notwithstanding the presence of the firewall, and without an specific routing through the firewall, each sub-system receives configuration commands from the remote manager through as a text feed.
