Abstract: A method of implementing administrative services for a compensation platform is disclosed. One or more interactive compensation representation views are generated based on an evaluation of mapping rules against a flexible ontology and current data state, the flexible ontology comprising customizable compensation components, relationships, and properties. One or more compensation representation views are dynamically updated in real-time in response to changes in compensation data, user context, or access permissions without requiring manual regeneration of the one or more compensation representations. The one or more interactive compensation representation views include a user interface element displayed in response to a user selection of compensation data, wherein the user interface element provides direct access to compensation information relevant to the selected compensation data without requiring a change to another screen or another user context.

Abstract: A method of generating customizable goal representation is disclosed. A request from a user to view a goal representation is received. A flexible goal ontology is accessed that comprises one or more goal entities, one or more goal relationships between the goal entities, or one or more goal properties, the one or more goal properties including one or more metadata attributes relating to the one or more goal entities. A set of mapping rules is obtained that defines mappings between one or more goals. The set of mapping rules is evaluated to assemble a customized goal representation tailored to the user. The customized goal representation is updated based on a revaluation of the mapping rules affected by changes to the one or more goal entities, the one or more goal relationships, or the one or more properties.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for interposing on nondeterministic events during multicore virtual machine (VM) execution to capture information that allows for deterministically recreating the nondeterministic events during execution replay of the VM. A method may include reading, by a virtual processor running within a multicore VM instance, an instruction to execute, and, responsive to a determination that the instruction is a nondeterministic instruction, interposing on the nondeterministic instruction execution so as to allow deterministic execution of the nondeterministic instruction during replay execution of the multicore VM instance. Interposing on the nondeterministic instruction execution may include recording a partial barrier event and/or a full barrier event. The nondeterministic instruction may be a read memory access instruction or a write memory access instruction.

Abstract: Embodiments of a central emulator, distributed emulator and method for emulation of a system are generally described herein. The central emulator may receive state variables from distributed emulators at various emulation times. As an example, such an emulation time may be related to an emulation event at one of the distributed emulators. The central emulator may determine global snapshots of the system emulation for the emulation times based on the state variables. The global snapshots may be used to control a timing of the system emulation for operations such as rewinding, pausing, forwarding and/or setting to a target time.
