A method and system for providing on online file- service that automatically stores and organizes digital files. The method and system include providing the server with a set of trigger handlers that are each configured to perform a particular action on a digital file. The user may log into the server and specify attribute criteria for each of the trigger handlers. Digital files uploaded by the user are received by the server, wherein each file has a plurality of attributes associated therewith. The attributes of each file are then compared with the attribute criteria entered by the user for each of the trigger handlers. And upon a match, the corresponding trigger handler is invoked, such that actions are automatically performed on the digital files.

The present invention is related to a computer system that provides a web page to a requestor over a network. Aspects of the present invention include receiving by the computer system a request to access a web page and in response, determining whether a descriptor for the requested web page is in a session memory. If the descriptor is not in the session memory, it is retrieved from a database and the stored in the session memory. From there, the descriptor is used to determine whether the web page should be retrieved and returned to the requestor. By storing the descriptor in session memory, additional accesses to the database can be avoided when the descriptor is used for subsequent tasks.

Method and means for controlling the execution sequence of a first sequence of modules in a first task. The first sequence of modules are linked to one another and have at least one sequence of execution. The method stores in each of the first sequence of modules a skip value representing which of subsequent modules to execute. The method executes the first of the first sequence of said modules, and then executes the next of the modules indicated by the skip value. Conservation of processor bandwidth is accomplished by avoiding the loading of modules which will not be executed.Method and means are further provided for simultaneous activation/deactivation of a set of tasks by a processor, each of the tasks normally executed in a sequential fashion by one or more processors. A list of tasks to be activated/deactivated is stored, including the timing relationship for the activation process. The list is then implemented as frame numbers for activation and requested state in the actual task list. The executing processor compares the requested state to the actual state for each task, and if different, compares the value of the activation frame with the current frame. If the current frame equals or exceeds the activation frame, then the requested active state is transferred to the actual state.

A computer system having a processor and a coprocessor, a method and apparatus for developing and executing tasks on a coprocessor. A teamwork operating system for utilizing the coprocessor, e.g. a digital signal processor, resides in part on the processor and in part on the coprocessor. Such a teamwork operating system provides for optimum throughput of work through the coprocessor. An Application Programming Interface (API) is provided to facilitate the development of host application programs that will utilize the coprocessor. A Task Programming Interface (TPI) and a Task Unit Definition Language (TUDL) are provided to facilitate the development of coprocessor code for execution on the coprocessor.
摘要:
In a computer system having a digital signal processor for processing tasks in real-time within a series of frames, a method is described for determining whether there is enough processing time available within each frame to process the task such that the frame's total processing time is not exceeded. First, the task's processing time requirement is determined. The time for executing the current task list is then calculated. Next, the remaining amount of processing time available in the frame is determined. This is accomplished by subtracting the current task list execution time from the frame's total processing time. The new task is installed in the task list if the frame's available processing time is at least as great as the task's required processing time. Otherwise, the task is not installed in the task list and an error indication is generated.

In a computer system having a digital signal processor for processing a number of tasks within a frame, a method for handling a frame overrun wherein the tasks cannot be processed within the frame. First, the frame overrun is detected. Next, each of the tasks are compared with a processing time which had been allocated to it. A determination is made as to which of these tasks had exceeded its allotted processing time by the greatest amount. The worst case client is notified that its task has caused an overrun. All other non-system task clients are notified that a overrun has occurred. All but system support tasks are inactivated, and processing continues. Each client must determine the correct action to take, including restarting the tasks where they left off, restarting from the beginning, or quitting. Methods for handling more serious overruns are also described.

A method and apparatus for providing multiple clients simultaneous access to a sound input/output (I/O) data stream. The present invention provides a method and apparatus for providing multiple programming data structures and multiple patch points in a list, in which each of the patch points are positioned relative to at least one of the programming data structures and is capable of receiving at least one programming data structure for insertion into the list to perform a function. The present invention also includes a method and apparatus for providing at least one buffer for inputting the data stream into and/or receiving the data stream output from each of inserted programming structures, such that each inserted structure can access and operate on the data stream. In this way, multiple clients can access and process the data stream transparently, without interfering with the operation of other clients, yet affecting the sound stream in the desired way.
