Abstract: A call to an external interface to execute a target callee program associated with a first addressing mode in a secondary runtime environment (RTE) is received from a caller program associated with a second addressing mode running in a primary RTE. An address of a share area (SA) storing existing dynamic link object information in the primary RTE in storage is passed to the secondary RTE. The SA is accessible by both the caller program and the target callee program. In response to a request to load a dynamic link object by an initiating program during execution of the target callee program in the secondary RTE, an entry address of the dynamic link object is retrieved in the SA. The dynamic link object is loaded based on the retrieved entry address of the dynamic link object.

Abstract: In an approach for improving data access performance in memory, a processor monitors each data access to a data element in the memory from an application, wherein the application has a plurality of functions. A processor records, during runtime, each data access into a monitoring element table, wherein the record for each data access includes an identity, a start address, an end address, and a memory page number. A processor clusters recorded data accesses for each function based on a distance between data elements accessed in sequence. A processor allocates, based on the data element clustering result, the data elements in a same cluster into a same memory unit in the memory.

Abstract: Techniques for ranking skills using an ensemble machine learning approach are described. The outputs of two heterogenous, machine-learned models are combined to rank a set of skills that may be possessed by an end-user of an online service. Some subset of the highest-ranking skills is then presented to the end-user with a recommendation that the skills be added to the end-user's profile. The ensemble learning technique involves a concept referred to as “boosting”, in which a weaker performing model is enhanced (e.g., “boosted”) by a stronger performing model, when ranking the set of skills. Accordingly, by using a combination of models, better results are achieved than might be with either one of the individual models alone. Furthermore, the approach is scalable in ways that cannot be achieved with heuristic-based approaches.

Abstract: Source code of a golden version and a next version of a program is received in which procedure calls are modified to call from an entry point table (EPT) with index numbers corresponding to procedure memory addresses. An executable defect-free golden version program and next version program with a defect are received. A first entry point table (first EPT) for the new version program and a second EPT for the golden version program are generated. A series of substitutions of procedures from the second EPT to the first EPT is performed and an order of substitutions includes: a module set, a module of the module set, a procedure set of the module, and a procedure of the procedure set. The defect producing procedure is identified by substituting in order until the defect is absent and proceeding to the next substitution in order.
