A method for modeling the performance of memory address translation mechanism (MATM), comprises: a) receiving an execution profile that contains a memory address reference stream of an application, a set of page size mappings, and events about the application's data allocations and de-allocations; b) translating each memory reference in the input memory reference stream into a reference to the corresponding data object, by consulting the memory allocation and de-allocation events, to provide a data object reference stream; c) translating each data object reference into a corresponding page reference by consulting the page size mapping and by modeling the data allocation and de-allocation events in accordance with the mapping to provide a page reference stream and a number of pages of each page size that are needed by the respective mapping; d) using the page reference stream to provide a stream of reuse distance values; e) determining, for each reference in the reuse distance value stream, whether the reference results in a hit or a miss reference to the MATM to provide the number of hits and the number of misses for each MATM; f) providing the hit and miss values to a cost model to estimate the number of miss cycles; g) ranking the mappings by their miss cycle values such that the mapping with the lowest number of miss cycles has the highest rank.

To dynamically update an operating system, a new factory object may have one or more new and/or updated object instances. A corresponding old factory object is then located and its version is checked for compatibility. A dynamic update procedure is then executed, which includes (a) changing a factory reference pointer within the operating system from the old factory object to the new factory object. For the case of updated object instances, (b) hot swapping each old object instance for its corresponding updated object instance, and (c) removing the old factory object. This may be performed for multiple updated object instances in the new factory object, preferably each separately. For the case of new object instances, they are created by the new factory and pointers established to invoke them. A single factory object may include multiple updated objects from a class, and/or new object instances from different classes, and the update may be performed without the need to reboot the operating system.

A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that, in an embodiment, determine a cipher strength based on a trust level associated with a request, create a unit of work based on the request, encrypt the unit of work into a message based on the cipher strength, and send the message to grid servers. In various embodiments, the trust level may be determined based on a security token associated with the request or based on a zone from which the request originates. In various embodiments, the request originates from a client that belongs to the zone or originates from one of the grid servers that belongs to the zone. In an embodiment, a request from a grid server may be associated with a response to a previous unit of work that the grid server executed.

A method of managing instant messaging communication over a computer network is provided. One or more instant messaging session windows are organized in an instant messaging session manager. At least one distinguishing session characteristic is attributed to each of the one or more instant messaging session windows. The at least one distinguishing session characteristic is at least one of a sound clip associated with a user of the session, an instant messaging session window background associated with a user of the session, and a change in at least one of a color and an intensity of the instant messaging session window. The at least one distinguishing session characteristic increases a likelihood of identification of each of the one or more instant messaging session windows.

A server computer system includes a keep-alive autonomic adjustment mechanism that monitors current operating conditions and dynamically adjusts the keep-alive specification to optimize the keep-alives for the current operating conditions. The keep-alive autonomic adjustment mechanism monitors the total number of clients, and the average number of requests per client. The value of a keep-alive specification that determines how log to keep a connection open may be dynamically and autonomically adjusted by the keep-alive autonomic adjustment mechanism according to the monitored current operating conditions. The keep-alive autonomic adjustment mechanism may also include the ability to autonomically enable and disable the keep-alives. In this manner the performance of the server may be tuned to optimize the effect of using keep-alives according to current operating conditions.

Implementation primitives for concurrent array-based stacks, queues, double-ended queues (deques) and wrapped deques are provided. In one aspect, each element of the stack, queue, deque or wrapped deque data structure has its own ticket lock, allowing multiple threads to concurrently use multiple elements of the data structure and thus achieving high performance. In another aspect, new synchronization primitives FetchAndIncrementBounded (Counter, Bound) and FetchAndDecrementBounded (Counter, Bound) are implemented. These primitives can be implemented in hardware and thus promise a very fast throughput for queues, stacks and double-ended queues.

Methods, systems, devices and program products are provided for effecting compliance with power usage specifications through positive feedback to a monitoring entity. A power usage specification is provided for a device for a task performed by the device using the device to perform the task, embodiments monitoring power used by the device to perform the task to generate power usage data, comparing the power usage data to the power usage specification, and if the power usage data exceeds the power usage specification, automatically providing a reward to a device end-user selected as a function of a value of the specification exceeding and an agreement with the end-user or a third party. Power usage specifications may comprise predicted power usage values and requirements for the device to perform the task during a first power rate period having a lower energy or resource cost than a second power rate period.

A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that, in an embodiment, send units of work to grid executors, create training data based on the performance of the grid executors, and train a neural network via the training data. The training data includes pairs of input and output data, where the input data is the types of the units of work and the output data is the service strengths of the grid executors. Once the neural network has been trained, subsequent units of work have their grid executors selected by inputting the types of the units of work to the neural network and receiving a service strength from the neural network as output. The grid executors are then selected based on the output service strength from the neural network. In this way, in an embodiment, the grid performance may be increased.
