Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for instruction selection based on a generic directive. In some embodiments, a system may receive a request to perform a generic task or directive. The system may determine a networked computing node to perform the task, and may access a configurations database to determine configuration information and parameters of the computing node. The system may also access an instructions database to determine one or more instruction sets that may be used to perform the task based on the configurations and parameters of the computing node. If the instructions database includes a compatible instruction set for performing the specified task on the configuration of the computing node, the instruction set may be retrieved and provided in response to the received request.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for identifying data variations, which can include normalizing and validating data. In some embodiments, normalizing data may include converting the data from a first format into a second selected format. Data may also be validated by comparing the data to a rule set. Normalized data may be examined on a line-by-line basis, with each line of the normalized data checked for compliance with rules of the rule set. Compliance data identifying the results of comparing the data against the rule set may be generated and output.
