Publication number: 20140068575Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for controlling the loading status of DLLs. Specifically, a streaming program compiler is provided. The compiler includes operation modules for calling DLLs during streaming program execution; association table generating units for generating association tables according to user-defined rules, where the association table includes entries indicating (i) stream branches of the streaming program and (ii) an operation module corresponding to the stream branches; and a trigger generating unit for generating a trigger based on user-defined rules, where the trigger generating unit (i) determines which conditions for loading and unloading DLLs fit the streaming program, (ii) matches these conditions to a particular stream branch to identify a matched stream branch, and (iii) sends out triggering signals indicating the matched stream branch. This invention also provides a corresponding method and controller.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2013Publication date: March 6, 2014Applicant: lNTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Rui Hou, Zhi Yu Liu, Huayong Wang, Yan Qi Wang

Publication number: 20100293533Abstract: One embodiment of a method for constructing executable code for a component-based application includes receiving a request to compile source code for the component-based application, wherein the request identifies the source code, and wherein the source code comprises a plurality of source code components, each of the source code components implementing a different component of the application, and performing a series of steps for each source code component where the series of steps includes: deriving a signature for the source code component, retrieving a stored signature corresponding to a currently available instance of executable code for the source code component, comparing the derived signature with the stored signature, compiling the source code component into the executable code when the derived signature does not match the stored signature, and obtaining the executable code for the source code component from a repository when the derived signature matches the stored signature.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2009Publication date: November 18, 2010Inventors: Henrique Andrade, Bugra Gedik, Rui Hou, Hua Yong Wang, Kun-Lung Wu
