Patent number: 9489220Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for implementing a VM on a host computer and monitoring the VM processes from the Host computer. A host-based Task Manager monitors the VM process and obtains execution statistics using a proprietary dynamic link library that substitutes Guest statistic collection functions for standard host statistic collection functions. The Guest statistic collection functions acquire data related to the execution of the VM processes running on the Guest OS.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2015Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: Parallels IP Holdings GmbHInventors: Elena A.

Patent number: 9461819Abstract: A project managing unit 11 authenticates users of virtual machines 24-1 to 24-N and specifies a project to which the users belong. A key managing unit 12 distributes an encryption key, which is assigned in advance to the project specified by the project managing unit 11, to encryption processing units 232-1 to 232-N of virtualizing units 23-1 to 23-N. Input/output monitoring units 231-1 to 231-N of the virtualizing units 23-1 to 23-N receive input/output data generated between the virtual machines 24-1 to 24-N and devices 22-1 to 22-N, and deliver the data to the encryption processing units 232-1 to 232-N. The encryption processing units 232-1 to 232-N encrypt output (write) data and decrypt input (read) data by using the distributed encryption key.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2008Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: NEC CORPORATIONInventors: Masayuki Nakae, Takayuki Sasaki

Patent number: 9417875Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for performing aggregation operations across multiple threads that execute independently. Aggregation is specified as part of a barrier synchronization or barrier arrival instruction, where in addition to performing the barrier synchronization or arrival, the instruction aggregates (using reduction or scan operations) values supplied by each thread. When a thread executes the barrier aggregation instruction the thread contributes to a scan or reduction result, and waits to execute any more instructions until after all of the threads have executed the barrier aggregation instruction. A reduction result is communicated to each thread after all of the threads have executed the barrier aggregation instruction and a scan result is communicated to each thread as the barrier aggregation instruction is executed by the thread.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2013Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: NVIDIA CORPORATIONInventors: Brian Fahs, Ming Y. Siu, Brett W. Coon, John R. Nickolls, Lars Nyland

Patent number: 9274928Abstract: A code verification tool verifies that code generated from a model represents all of the functionality of the model and does not contain any unintended functionality. The code verification tool may receive for examination a model or an intermediate representation (IR) of the model and the generated code or an intermediate representation of the generated code. The code verification tool may create further intermediate representations of the model and/or the generated code in order to compare the functionality presented in both.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2014Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: The MathWorks, Inc.Inventors: Mirko Conrad, Joel Thornton, Peter S.

Patent number: 9250881Abstract: An object has an unresolved symbol corresponding with a direct first function call in a first module of the object. A loader receives a request to resolve the symbol and identifies a callee function called by the first function call, identifies a second module in which the callee function is located, and determines whether the function call corresponds with one or more properties of two or more properties. The loader returns a first callee function entry point associated with a first property when the first function call has the first property. The loader returns a second callee function entry point associated with a second property when the first function call has the second property. The first and second callee function entry points are for storing in a program linkage table. The request can be received when the first function call is first invoked or when the first module is loaded.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael K.
