Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to a method comprising: receiving a request to write data to a persistent storage device, the request comprising data; determining an affinity of the data; writing the request to a cache line of a cache; associating the cache line with the affinity of the data; and reporting the data as having been written to the persistent storage device.

Abstract: System and method for merging differences between graphical programs. Information is received regarding matches and differences, e.g., in hardware, software, configuration, and/or connectivity, between first and second graphical programs, each comprising respective pluralities of interconnected nodes. The information is analyzed to merge differences between the first and second graphical programs, e.g., for each difference: removing all non-common nodes and connections thereto in the second sub-graph from the second graphical program, adding all common nodes and connections thereto in the first sub-graph to the second graphical program, determining all edges in the first sub-graph that connect common nodes to non-common nodes; and for each determined edge, adding to the second graphical program an edge that connects a corresponding common node in the second sub-graph with a corresponding non-common node added from the first sub-graph. A merged graphical program is displayed on a display, e.g.

Abstract: System and method for merging graphical programs. Information is received regarding first, second, and third graphical programs, where the third graphical program is an ancestor graphical program of the first and second. The information is analyzed to determine differences among the graphical programs. The first and second graphical programs are merged based on the determined differences, generating a merged graphical program, which is displayed.

Abstract: A method for detecting differences between two graphical programs. The graphical programs comprise graphical code. The graphical programs may include objects, preferably arranged as a user interface panel, including controls and indicators, and a block diagram, including graphical code function blocks connected together as a data flow program. Directed graph data structures are created to represent the graphical programs, wherein the vertices of the graphs are the objects of the graphical programs and the edges of the graphs are data flow signals of the block diagram and/or hierarchical relationships of the user interface panel objects. The objects of the two graphical programs are heuristically matched together using a scoring approach. The scores are stored in a match matrix and indicate a degree of similarity between an object in the first graphical program and an object in the second graphical program according to one or more criteria.
