Abstract:
Utilizing logical identifiers or sets of metadata to describe, organize, and index content associated with a software application system from one or more content contributors is provided. When a request is made for specific content, the request may point to a logical identifier, and pieces of content applicable to the requested content may be retrieved and presented to a user. By utilizing schematized metadata associated with individual content items, a user's experience may be improved by providing content available from a plurality of content contributors applicable to the user's query.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for creating data transformation routines for transforming data from a source format to a target format. The routines can be used in conjunction with dynamic binary translators, which enable binaries of a source platform to execute on a target platform without recompilation. This is achieved by runtime (on-the-fly) translation of source machine instructions into equivalent target machine instructions. Typically dynamic binary translators are used for migrating from an older platform to a newer one, implementing complex instruction set architectures, speeding up simulators and in profiling tools. The transformation routines are also used for translating data in databases from one format to another, for example, where the data format has been modified in an upgraded system. In all these applications, the speed and accuracy of translation need to be kept low to ensure that the overhead incurred does not outweigh the advantages of translation.
Abstract:
A computer implemented method includes receiving an ordered sequence of programming language statements, identifying a first statement and one or more second statements that are configured to be executed after the first statement, in which the first statement is configured to initiate an asynchronous task that executes asynchronously with respect to the one or more second statements, and configuring the one or more second statements to execute upon completion of the asynchronous task.
Abstract:
A method of translating binary code instructions from a source format to a target format for processing by a target processor includes converting a source instruction into a source intermediate data structure having a plurality of members, mapping the members in the source intermediate data structure to corresponding members in a target intermediate data structure according to a template, and converting the target intermediate data structure into a target instruction.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing software code capable of automated runtime negotiation of computation block execution between different computers. In one aspect, a method includes storing, on each of multiple devices, code blocks for a software application that performs a particular set of functions and assigning at runtime of the software application which of the devices is to execute each of the code blocks. Each of the code blocks is executed on the assigned devices and data is communicated between the assigned devices to facilitate executing different code blocks on different devices.
Abstract:
The method, an apparatus, and/or a system of cross-platform architecture for replicating profiling scheme in a computer system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for forming profiling information of one computer platform in another computer platform includes generating instrumented code by a code instrumenter using a target platform code. The method further includes generating the profile information that the source platform profiling tools can decipher and utilize using the instrumented code, and generating a profile report by analyzing the generated profile information using the source platform profiling tools in a dynamic binary translator that can be used by the dynamic binary translator (DBT) to generate target platform code. In addition, the method may include translating source platform object code into the target platform code using the DBT.
