Abstract: The invention relates to a method of operating a container carrier terminal. A container carrier terminal system comprising a model of the container carrier terminal executed on data processing equipment is provided. The model comprises representations of terminal resources and terminal constraints relating to terminal resources such as quay cranes and the representations of terminal resources include representations of the quay cranes. A plurality of container carrier entries are inputted in the terminal system, each container carrier entry relating to a container carrier and associated with a preliminary terminal resource demand including a tentative arrival time. The tentative arrival time is indicative of arrival of the container carrier to the container carrier terminal.

Abstract: A method for allocating and/or operating quay cranes at a container carrier terminal. The method includes scheduling a container carrier associated with static carrier information to perform a container carrier berth at the container carrier terminal and further supplying a container carrier entry associated with the container carrier berth to a container carrier terminal system associated with the container carrier terminal. The method further includes generating an estimated container-related berth workload associated with the container carrier berth based on the static carrier information, and allocating the quay cranes to crane time windows which lie within an expected duration of the container carrier berth, wherein the allocating quay cranes is performed in the container carrier terminal system prior to the container carrier berth and is based on the estimated container-related berth workload.

Abstract: A method finds an error in a computer program. A plurality of execution breakpoints are set in the computer program. A portion of the execution of the computer program is simulated as recorded in the trace data in the reverse order until one a plurality of conditions is met, wherein one of the plurality of conditions is an attempt to execute a machine instruction associated with one of the plurality of execution breakpoints.

Abstract: The invention is directed to instrumenting object code of an application and/or an operating system on a target machine so that execution trace data can be generated, collected, and subsequently analyzed for various purposes, such as debugging and performance. Automatic instrumentation may be performed on an application's object code before, during or after linking. A target machine's operating system's object code can be manually or automatically instrumented. By identifying address space switches and thread switches in the operating system's object code, instrumented code can be inserted at locations that enable the execution trace data to be generated. The instrumentation of the operating system and application can enable visibility of total system behavior by enabling generation of trace information sufficient to reconstruct address space switches and context switches.

Abstract: A method and system debug a computer program by using trace data, which is a recording of the sequence of machine instructions executed by a program during a time period along with the addresses and values of memory locations accessed and modified by each machine instruction. After the time period, the method and system use the trace data to simulate the execution of the program during the time period under the control of a debugger. In addition, the method and system use the trace data to simulate the execution of the program during the time period backwards in time under the control of the debugger.
