Abstract: A technique for compiling and running high-level program on heterogeneous computers may include partitioning a program code into two or more logical units, and compiling each of the logical units into one or more executable entities. At least some of the logical units are compiled into two or more executable entities, the two or more executable entities being different compilations of the same logical unit. The two or more executable entities are compatible to run on respective two or more platforms that have different architecture.

Abstract: Extraction of functional semantics and isolated dataflow from imperative object oriented languages, in one aspect, may include identifying one or more methods and/or classes associated with one or more of a plurality of property labels in a computer code written in object oriented language to extract functional and isolation characteristics in the computer code. The plurality of property labels supported by one or more checking rules, are used to verify that the one or more methods and/or classes identified with the plurality of property labels have isolation characteristics. An object oriented language compiler is provided for supplying the plurality of property labels and checking rules. The object oriented language compiler further may include capability to transform methods into compute tasks and connect the compute tasks so as to create a dataflow graph.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method including receiving a request to publish first content on a system from a user. A fee is imposed to the user to publish the first content. The first content is published on the system. In at least one embodiment, an amount of net credits of the user is published on a profile of the user. A credit is provided to the user for each instance the user receives second content from the system, the credit being non-redeemable for cash. The credit is provided to the user at pre-determined time intervals and/or when pre-determined milestones reached. In at least one embodiment, the fee is credited to the user if the first content is a comment to existing content.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to memory indexing. Receiving indications of an indexing function for use with a memory. Performing indexing functions with a processor before addressing a memory location. Referencing a customizable lookup table to determine a memory location. Translating a computer program to control a computer system to use a desired indexing function. Determining desired indexing functions based on performance of a computer system.
