Abstract: Software systems and methods convert algorithms and software codes into time affecting linear pathways (TALPs) via decomposition and convert paired Input/Output (I/O) datasets into TALPs via Value Complexity polynomials. Generated TALPs can be enhanced through merging with other TALPs. TALPs can be grouped by matching the outputs of the TALP-associated prediction polynomials with some set of given criteria into families and cross-families that are useful in a new type of software optimization that allows for output values of grouped TALPs to be modeled, pooled, discretized and optimized to enhance goals or meet user goals.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to managing access to network resources. A first mesh agent may be configured to provide a client with access to a resource via an overlay network. The first mesh agent may determine an identity and an activity associated with requests such that the identity corresponds to an entity that may be authenticated to access the overlay network and the resource. A policy container associated with the activity may be determined based on characteristics of the requests such that the policy container may include policies associated with the activity. The requests may be validated based on the policies included in the policy container such that the validated requests may be forwarded to the resource and invalidated requests may be discarded and such that persistence of the connection may be maintained during the validation.

Abstract: Methods and systems for existing software applications to automatically take advantage of multicore computer systems outside of the conventional simultaneous processing of multiple applications and without performance problems from cache misses and mismatched task processing times are presented. Unlike other multicore optimization techniques, the present invention uses techniques that are applied to design graphs and work for scaled and standard speedup-based parallel processing. The methods and systems optimize software designs that are attached to code for maximum performance on multicore computer hardware by analyzing and modifying loop structures to produce a general parallel solution, not just simple loop unrolling.
