Patent number: 9798527Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating efficient compiled code. In an example method, a compilation system obtains an un-optimized computational graph comprising a plurality of nodes representing operations and directed edges representing data dependencies. The un-optimized computational graph is analyzed using pattern matching to determine fusable operations that can be fused together into a single fusion operation. The un-optimized computational graph is transformed into an optimized computational graph by replacing the nodes representing the fusable operations in the un-optimized computational graph with a fusion node representing the single fusion operation. The compilation system produces efficient code by translating the fusion node of the optimized computational graph as a call that performs the fused operations.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2017Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Eli Bendersky, Robert Hundt, Mark Heffernan, Jingyue Wu

Patent number: 9798532Abstract: Systems and methods for accessing locally-stored content for a web application are disclosed. In some aspects, a user input for requesting a web application is received at a client computing device. A network request for the web application is provided via a network. That software code for the web application is stored in local storage of the client computing device is determined. The stored software code for the web application is placed into a random access memory (RAM) of the client computing device. At least a portion of the stored software code is precompiled prior to receiving a response to the network request.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2016Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Robert Hundt, Mark Heffernan
