  • Patent number: 8904412
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for collecting one or more performance metrics. A plurality of source code instructions is provided. The source code instructions include a plurality of macro calls. Each of the plurality of macro calls includes a plurality of predetermined parameters. A plurality of object code instructions corresponding to the plurality of source code instructions is executed. In response to receiving a signal identifying at least one of the plurality of macro calls contained in the source code instructions and identifying a desired level of granularity, performance metrics are collected using the identified macro call in accordance with the desired level of granularity.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8589454
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to file merging based on file metadata. An exemplary embodiment concerns a system for merging two files that may comprise first and second data structures respectively associated with first and first files. Each data structure may include a starting address and an ending address of the associated file, and file attributes. The system may include a logic component for respectively referencing the starting address and ending address of a second file in the starting address and ending address of a first file, and a logic component for linking the last record in the first file with the first record of in the second file.
