  • Patent number: 11775417
    Abstract: A service testing system is disclosed to enable consistent replay of stateful requests on a service whose output depends on the service's execution state prior to the requests. In embodiments, the service implements a compute engine that executes service requests and a storage subsystem that maintains execution states during the execution of stateful requests. When a stateful request is received during testing, the storage subsystem creates an in-memory test copy of the execution state to support execution of the request, and provides the test copy to the compute engine. In embodiments, the storage subsystem will create a separate instance of execution state for each individual test run. The disclosed techniques enable mock execution states to be easily created for testing of stateful requests, in a manner that is transparent to the compute engine and does not impact production execution data maintained by the service.

  • Patent number: 10782902
    Abstract: A method includes providing a device with transmitter parameters set to default factory values. The method also includes receiving, in the device, one or more write commands with test data patterns, and executing, in the device, the one or more write commands to store the test data patterns on a non-transitory data storage medium of the device. The method further includes receiving, in the device, one or more read commands for the test data patterns, and reading the test data patterns from the non-transitory data storage medium. The read test data patterns are communicated by a signal that is sent via the device transmitter. A command instructing the device to update the transmitter parameters values is received, in the device, when a device transmitter signal integrity for the signal communication is below a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 10762067
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for incremental feature development and workload capture in database systems are disclosed. A method includes determining a workload having one or more historical client queries to be rerun for testing the feature, wherein the feature comprises procedural logic. The method further includes executing a baseline run of the workload that does not implement the feature and executing a target run of the workload while implementing the feature. The method further includes comparing the baseline run and the target run to identify whether there is a performance regression in the target run. The method further includes, in response to identifying the performance regression, rerunning the target run to identify whether the performance regression still exists.

  • Patent number: 10755761
    Abstract: A semiconductor device may include a first buffer, a second buffer, a divider circuit and an internal signal generation circuit. The first buffer may buffer a first input signal and a second input signal to generate a first data strobe buffering signal and a first data strobe bar buffering signal. The second buffer may generate a second data strobe buffering signal based on the first input signal and a reference xvoltage. The divider circuit may divide the second data strobe buffering signal to generate a divided signal and a divided bar signal. The internal signal generation circuit may be configured to generate a first to fourth data latch timing signals having different phases based on the first data strobe buffering signal, the first data strobe bar buffering signal, the divided signal and the divided buffering signal.

  • Patent number: 10733238
    Abstract: A customer of a shared resource environment can generate script to be executed by one or more virtual machines, or other such instances or resources, and share that script with other users. The script can relate to administrative or other such tasks, and can be encapsulated into a document, or other such expression, and stored to a network-accessible location. The owner of the document can designate permissions as to which users have rights to access and/or execute the script against their own virtual machines. An owner can grant permission to all users, no other users, or specific users. The script can include parameter values that can be set by the other users or links to specific executables or other objects, among other such options.

  • Patent number: 10698806
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for efficient combinatorial testing of multi-level datatypes and data objects. A multi-level datatype associated with a software library has a plurality of linked levels with corresponding metadata attributes. A sparse set of metadata combinations is generated, providing full coverage of identified tuples of the metadata. Multi-level test datatypes are defined, with metadata attributes following the generated metadata combinations, and used to execute a test suite and validate the software library. A user interface of the software library can be tested and validated directly using the defined test datatypes. Alternatively, functions of the software library can be tested with test objects that are instances of the test datatypes. In variations, the software library can be tested for combinations of data values, or a mix of data and metadata. The software library can be a rules framework providing configuration and implementation of if-then rules for client applications.

  • Patent number: 10659316
    Abstract: A computer readable storage medium with executable instructions specifies the execution of a state machine operating across a set of computing nodes in a distributed computing system. The executable instructions execute a set of operators, where the execution of each operator is under the control of a state machine that periodically invokes pause control states to pause the execution of an operator in response to a violation of a service level agreement specifying an operating condition threshold within the distributed computing system. Partitions of input data are formed that are worked on independently within the distributed computing system. A set of data batches associated with the input data is processed. Data partition control states to process the partitions associated with the set of data batches are specified. Key control states to process a set of keys associated with a data partition of the partitions are defined.

    Abstract: An interrupt request generating process can include determining a first interrupt triggering event has occurred after a predetermined period of time in which no interrupt triggering event occurred. In response to determining that the first interrupt triggering event has occurred, the interrupt request generating process may generate a first interrupt request without adding an intentional delay, and initiating a timer configured to expire after a predetermined time interval. When a second interrupt triggering event is determined to have occurred before the timer expires, a second interrupt request is delayed from being generated until the timer expires.
