  • Publication number: 20170187501
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus maps input symbols to be communicated onto a predetermined number of sub-carrier signals of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) symbol. The data processor includes an interleaver memory which reads-in the predetermined number of data symbols for mapping onto the OFDM sub-carrier signals. The interleaver memory reads-out the data symbols on to the OFDM sub-carriers to effect the mapping, the read-out being in a different order than the read-in, the order being determined from a set of addresses, with the effect that the data symbols are interleaved on to the sub-carrier signals. The set of addresses are generated from an address generator which comprises a linear feedback shift register and a permutation circuit.

  • Patent number: 9430288
    Abstract: A method of job scheduling in a computing environment, comprising collecting historical job data related to job submissions received from a plurality of users, the historical job data comprising: resource request data indicative of resources requested by the user for executing a job, and resource usage data indicative of actual resources used to execute the job; calculating a believability score for each of the plurality of users based on a comparison between the job resource request data and the resource usage data related to job submissions received from the user, the believability score indicating a degree to which the user overestimates resources required to execute jobs; receiving a new job submission from a user, specifying a new job that is to be executed and resources requested by the user for executing the new job; and scheduling the new job for execution based on the believability score for the user.

  • Patent number: 9378014
    Abstract: A method of porting source code for use in a runtime environment including a tool chain with a compiler for building the source code, in which the method comprises obtaining a source code fragment associated with a build error during the source code build in the runtime environment; creating a signature of the source code fragment; automatically comparing the signature with entries in an error database constructed from a history of previous build errors in the runtime environment and their fixes in the form of source code and/or tool chain modifications; using the comparison to find one or more similar previous build errors to the build error and thus to identify one or more of the source code and/or tool chain modifications as candidate solutions to the build error; compiling the source code with each of the candidate source code and/or tool chain modifications in turn until the source code compiles without reproducing the build error; and storing the build error in the error database and storing the modific

  • Publication number: 20160155053
    Abstract: There is provided a method, a system and a computer program product for supporting a decision making process. The system receives a decision model from a decision maker, the decision model used for determining a solution to a decision problem based on attributes and uncertainties of the decision problem. The decision problem includes information about a plurality of outcome vectors that represent all possible outcomes and the uncertainties associated with the decision problem. The system determines whether the received decision model can be solved without receiving any preference information from the decision maker. The system receives partially specified preference information from the decision maker if the received decision model cannot be solved without any preference information. The system solves the decision model with the partially specified preference information. The system recommends, based on the solution, one or more decisions to the decision maker.

  • Publication number: 20150309845
    Abstract: A synchronization method in a computer system with multiple cores, wherein a group of threads executes in parallel on a plurality of cores, the group of threads being synchronised using barrier synchronisation in which each thread in the group waits for all the others at a barrier before progressing; the group of threads executes until a first thread reaches the barrier; the first thread enters a polling state, repeatedly checking for a release condition indicating the end of the barrier; subsequent threads to reach the barrier are moved to the core on which the first thread is executing; and other cores are powered down as the number of moved threads increases; and wherein when the first thread detects the release condition, the powered down cores are powered up and are available for use by the threads.
