Abstract: Systems and methods for resolving data (DQ) line swapping configuration in Double Data Rate (DDR) memories are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, a system may include a memory controller and a memory coupled to the memory controller, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause the system to: apply a first technique to resolve DQ line swapping between a memory interface and a memory module with respect to a first subset of a plurality of DQ lines; apply a second technique different than the first technique to resolve DQ line swapping with respect to a second subset of the plurality of DQ lines; and apply a third technique different than the first and the second techniques to resolve DQ line swapping with respect to a third subset of the plurality of DQ lines.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for identifying patterns of a set of software applications instances from their documents. The computer-implemented method begins with constructing different attribute vector types using a knowledge ontology. The knowledge ontology captures semantics based on keywords associated with resource attributes derived from one or more documents related to at least a portion of these software application instances. A knowledge base is built from the attribute vector types and the documents of these application instances. These are merged into the knowledge base with the knowledge base previously built from previous software application instances. Analytics are performed on the knowledge base to identify at least one of common patterns of deployments, configurations, or other attribute vector types, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A digital device comprising a functional unit, a real-time performance information unit, and a monitoring unit is described. The real-time performance information unit provides real-time performance information about the functional unit. The real-time performance information unit enables the local host device to retrieve the real-time performance information from the real-time performance information unit. The monitoring unit retrieves the real-time performance information from the real-time performance information unit. The monitoring unit has a network interface for connecting to a network. The monitoring unit is arranged to upload the real-time performance information to the network via the network interface. A method of operating the digital device is also described.

Abstract: A method and a computer program product for disassembling a mixed machine code are described. The machine code is provided as a sequence of code items including one or more instructions and one or more data items. The method comprises: storing the sequence of code items in accordance with a corresponding sequence of addresses; executing the machine code, thereby generating an execution trace; and partitioning the sequence of addresses into instruction address blocks and data address blocks on the basis of control data, the control data comprising at least the execution trace.

Abstract: A method for debugging a computer program is proposed. The method includes a step of running at least part of the computer program on a computer, thereby prompting the computer to execute a sequence of instructions and to generate a trace corresponding to the executed sequence of instructions. When the program has generated an exception, selecting a set of one or more exception strings on the basis of the trace, so that each of the exception strings is a unique substring of the trace. The exception strings are indicated to a user or to a debugging tool. The set of exception strings may notably include the ultimate shortest unique substring of the trace. A computer program product is also described.

Abstract: A method for retrieving trace data from a target device is proposed. The target device comprises a program memory, a processor, a trace unit, and a trace buffer. The processor is operable to retrieve instructions from the program memory and to execute them. The trace buffer may contain trace data generated by the trace unit in response to the processor retrieving or executing instructions from the program memory. One or more patch instructions are written to the program memory. The processor executes said one or more patch instructions. The target device, in response to the processor executing said one or more patch instructions, performs a data transfer operation for copying the trace data from the trace buffer to a second memory outside the target device.
