Patent number: 8966458Abstract: A virtual machine can be extended to be aware of secondary cores and specific capabilities of the secondary cores. If a unit of platform-independent code (e.g., a function, a method, a package, a library, etc.) is more suitable to be run on a secondary core, the primary core can package the unit of platform-independent code (“code unit”) and associated data according to the ISA of the secondary core. The primary core can then offload the code unit to an interpreter associated with the secondary core to execute the code unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2013Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nobuhiro Asai, Andrew B.

Patent number: 8752056Abstract: Provided is a method that enables an interpretive engine to execute in a non-homogeneous, multiple processor architecture. Am interpretive engine is modified to identify code native to a target processor that is executing an ISA different than the ISA of the processor executing the interpretive engine. An intermediate function is called to correlate the native code with a processor type and a target processor is identified. A context is created for the native code and the context is either transmitted to the target processor or stored in a memory location such that the target processor may retrieve the context. Once the context is transmitted, the target processor executes the task. Results are either transmitted to the originating processor or placed in memory such that the originating processor can access the result and the originating processor is signaled of the completion of the task.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2007Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nobuhiro Asai, Rajesh R.

Publication number: 20080172466Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to send information accurately to a target person having a plurality of e-mail addresses or contact points. A delivery server 10 is provided for sending an e-mail selectively to a target person having a plurality of e-mail addresses. The delivery server 10 predicts a target person's condition when sending the e-mail, orders the plurality of e-mail addresses in descending order of likelihood that the target person will receive the e-mail, and sends the e-mail according to the ordering. Furthermore, it is configured so that the next ordering reflects the e-mail address where the target person has received the message as a result of sending the e-mail.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2003Publication date: July 17, 2008Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Satoko Tonegawa, Nobuhiro Asai

Patent number: 7121633Abstract: An electric parking brake control unit of an electric parking brake apparatus has an input section for receiving signals for performing automatic activation and deactivation, but does not have a determination function and a circuit for inputting signals from various sensors, which are necessary to determine whether to start the automatic activation/deactivation control. Therefore, when used in a vehicle which does not require an automatic control function and requires only a manual control function, the electric parking brake control unit can be used solely, with no signal line connected to the input section. When used in a vehicle which requires both the automatic control function and the manual control function, the input section is connected to a second control unit that can output signals for performing automatic activation and deactivation, whereby the electric parking brake control unit operates in cooperation with the second control unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2003Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: Advics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshikazu Tachiiri, Nobuhiro Asai, Yoshitami Saito
