In some embodiments, a method comprises hosting a virtual universe in which one or more avatars interact with one or more virtual objects. The method can also include presenting energy conservation options that reduce amounts of power consumed in rendering the avatars and virtual objects in the virtual universe, detecting a selection of the energy conservation options, and configuring logic for rendering the avatars and virtual objects according to the selected energy conservation options. The method can also comprise rendering, according to the selection of energy conservation options, the avatars and virtual objects in the virtual universe.

A database access facility for accessing databases includes a monitoring function which monitors accesses by requestors of database data. The monitoring function tracks which database fields are requested to dynamically determine the fields which the application needs. Once sufficient tracking data is obtained, subsequent accesses to the database on behalf of an application are automatically modified by the application server to request only the fields which are likely to be needed. Preferably, the database access facility is an application server for one or middle tier applications which access the database on behalf of multiple clients in a three-tier client-server environment.

In an embodiment, a first debug agent at a first computer receives a packet. The first debug agent adds a debug command and an identifier of the first debug agent to the packet and sends the packet to a receiving computer. A second debug agent at the receiving computer removes the debug command and the identifier of the first debug agent from the packet and sends the packet to a second program that executes at the receiving computer. The second debug agent further executes the debug command, which causes the second program that executes on the receiving computer to halt execution at a breakpoint or address watch memory location. The second debug agent sends the state of the second program to the first debug agent, which presents, at the first computer, the state and a listing of the second program.

Real world energy usage can be reduced using a virtual environment. A virtual universe energy conservation system (“system”) can determine comprehensive energy usage at a physical site where a client accessing a virtual universe is located. The system can determine that the comprehensive energy usage at the physical site exceeds an energy usage threshold. The system can also notify a virtual universe user account associated with the client that the comprehensive energy usage at the physical site exceeds the energy usage threshold.

In an embodiment, a selection of an original transaction is received. In response to the selection of the original transaction, a call stack of the application that sends the original transaction during a learn mode of the application is saved. A specification of a new transaction and a location of the new transaction with respect to the original transaction in an transaction stream is received. During a production mode of the application, the original transaction is received from the application. A determination is made that the call stack of the application during the production mode matches the saved call stack of the application during the learn mode. In response to the determination, the new transaction is inserted at the location into a transaction stream that is sent to a database.

In an embodiment, a request is received that is directed to a page. A determination is made whether a session associated with the request already exists by determining whether the request is dependent on a previous request. If the session does not already exist, then a decision is made whether the request will result in creating a session. If the request will result in creation of a session, then a server is selected based on a load-balancing metric instance associated with the page, and the request is sent to the selected server. The load-balancing metric instance has an algorithm and an input parameter to the algorithm. The server is selected by executing the algorithm and selecting the server identified by an output parameter from the algorithm.

A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that, in an embodiment, determine units of work in a page, join selected pairs of the units of work with lowest complexity metrics until all of the units of work have complexity metrics that are less than a threshold. The joining is subject to rules of a dependency graph, which indicates data dependency relationships of the units of work. The selected joined pairs are then encapsulated into a processing unit, which is sent to multiple grid servers. Responses from the grid servers are used to assemble dynamic content into the page. In an embodiment, the complexity metrics are then modified based on an exponential moving average of responses times of the units of work. In this way, in an embodiment, the performance of assembling the page may be increased.

Systems and method for providing an auction. A computer server has a searchable database of items offered for sale by a plurality of sellers. The database is accessible by a plurality of sellers and a plurality of buyers. A conglomeration agent running on the server identifies related items for sale as a single conglomeration and stores the conglomeration in the database. The buyer may view both individual items for sale and conglomerations of items for sale, and place a bid on a conglomeration of such items or the individual item. If the bid matches the conditions set forth by the sellers, the sale of either a conglomeration or an individual item is completed. The system also generates a performance metric for both buyers and sellers which are also made available to buyer and sellers and may be used to assess the desirability of dealing with certain buyers or sellers.

A system, method and computer program product for enhancing a real-time operating system (RTOS) with functionality normally associated with a general purpose operating system (GPOS). A hypervisor that is adapted to perform a real-time scheduling function supports concurrent execution of an RTOS and a GPOS on a system of shared hardware resources. The RTOS or its applications can utilize services provided by the GPOS. Such services may include one or more of file system organization, network communication, network management, database management, security, user-interface support and others. To enhance operational robustness and security, the hypervisor can be placed in read-only storage while maintaining the ability to update scheduling mechanisms. A programmable policy manager that is maintained in read-write storage can be used to dictate scheduling policy changes to the hypervisor as required to accommodate current needs.
