  • Patent number: 8863084
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for determining whether dependencies of configuration files have changed such that the compilation strategy should be recomputed. Local build checksums are computed for individual configuration files. The local build checksums are computed by sorting input paths to the configuration files plus data indicating whether the path refers to a file or a directory and a checksum computed on the configuration file itself. The transitive closure of local build checksums are then used to compute a global build checksum: the local build checksums are sorted in order to compute the global build checksum. If the global build checksum is different from a previously computed global build checksum, then the compilation strategy should be recomputed, since this is a signal that the compilation strategy may not be valid anymore, e.g. because some dependencies in the configuration files have changed.

  • Patent number: 8782595
    Abstract: A build system and method, including receiving attribute rules and new rules, wherein the attribute rules correspond to one or more predefined default actions of the build system, wherein the new rules specify new actions that are to be added to the build system. A graph is generated to include files specified as attributes in the attributes rules and the one or more predefined default actions that correspond to the attributes rules. A request to enable at least one of the new rules is received. Action listener rules are received, wherein the action listener rules indicate default actions and corresponding new rules of the one or more new rules. The graph is checked for default actions that are indicated in the action listener rules. Additional actions are added to the graph for new rules based on the default actions indicated in the action listener rules.

  • Publication number: 20130245958
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for validation of single nucleotide variants (SNV) in a sequence of interest. In at least one embodiment, the method includes: interrogating a BAM-file of the sequence of interest and a reference sequence file and producing a summary table for genomic coordinates of interest; generating a plurality of sequence reads from a sample of said sequence of interest; filtering sequence reads using a plurality of filter levels; extracting SNV counts for each strand for a genomic region of interest within the sequence of interest, resulting in ten SNV counts; for each genomic region of interest determining a rule based genotype decision and inferring a best genotype from the 10 counts; and creating a single consensus file for said sequence of interest including information of best genotype and a best quality for each genomic region of interest.
