Abstract: A memory optimizer service can be used to provide adaptive memory optimization. The memory optimizer service can be executed on a thin client or other user device to detect when low memory conditions exist. When it detects a low memory condition, the memory optimizer service can obtain process memory information for processes executing on the thin client and use the process memory information to calculate a trim amount to apply to the working set of processes with the highest amount of private bytes in their working sets. These trim amounts can be proportional to the amounts of private bytes and in sum can equal a total desired reduction in memory consumption.

Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for automatically servicing item data requests in data management systems, such as in retail management systems. The apparatus and methods employ a throttling technique to service data requests from one or more entities. In some examples, a computing device initializes assigns a counter for each entity, and initializes each counter with an initial value. The computing device also occasionally (e.g., periodically) resets each counter to the initial value. The computing device may receive a data request from one of the entities, and determines whether the counter corresponding to the entity identifies a count that is beyond a threshold. If the counter identifies a count beyond the threshold, the computing device adjusts the counter, and processes the data request. If the counter does not identify a count beyond the threshold, the computing device responds to the entity with an error.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for address manipulation using indices and tags. A first index is generated from bits of a processor program counter, where the first index is used to access a branch predictor bimodal table. A first branch prediction is provided from the bimodal table, based on the first index. The first branch prediction is matched against N tables, where the tables contain prior branch histories, and where: the branch history in table T(N) is of greater length than the branch history of table T(N-1), and the branch history in table T(N-1) is of greater length than the branch history of table T(N-2). A processor address is manipulated using a greatest length of hits of branch prediction matches from the N tables, based on one or more hits occurring. The branch predictor address is manipulated using the first branch prediction from the bimodal table, based on zero hits occurring.

Abstract: Computerized detection of one or more user interface objects is performed by processing an image file containing one or more user interface objects of a user interface generated by an application program. Sub-control objects are detected in the image file, where each sub-control object forms a portion of a user interface object that receives user input. Extraneous sub-control objects are detected. Sub-control objects that overlap with or that are within a predetermined vicinity of an identified set of sub-control objects are removed. Sub-control objects in the identified set of sub-control objects are correlated to combine one or more of the sub-control objects in the identified set of sub-control objects to generate control objects that correspond to certain of the user interface objects of the user interface generated by the application program.
