Abstract:
Technologies are described herein for the automated offloading of the execution of a user-defined function (“UDF”) to a high performance computing (“HPC”) system. When a request is received to calculate a workbook that references a UDF, a spreadsheet application program determines, based upon a tag set by the UDF, whether the UDF is safe for execution on the HPC system. If the UDF is safe for execution on the HPC system, the spreadsheet application program causes the UDF to be executed on the HPC system using a connector that communicates with the HPC system to cause the UDF to be executed thereupon. A container executing on the HPC system emulates interfaces provided by the spreadsheet application program and is utilized to execute the UDF. Results of the execution of the UDF on the HPC system may be returned asynchronously to the connector and to the spreadsheet application program.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of manipulating a software application and processing data stored in a data source. The method includes receiving a natural language input and analyze the natural language input to identify semantic information contained therein. Portions of the natural language input are associated with command objects and entity objects of a schema based on the semantic information and the natural language input. The method also includes rendering data from the data source in a table of columns and rows based on the schema and the associated portions of the natural language input.
Abstract:
A system and method for automatically completing a formula of a spreadsheet application, calculator application, accounting application, business application or banking application. One aspect of the present invention is a computer-implemented method for automatically completing formulaic cell data. The computer-implemented method includes a step for substantiating an autocomplete process in response to a user input of formulaic cell data and aggregating autocomplete options based on the user input. Another aspect of the present invention includes displaying a dynamic list of autocomplete options when the user input is a trigger.
