摘要:
A software transactional memory system is described which utilizes decomposed software transactional memory instructions as well as runtime optimizations to achieve efficient performance. The decomposed instructions allow a compiler with knowledge of the instruction semantics to perform optimizations which would be unavailable on traditional software transactional memory systems. Additionally, high-level software transactional memory optimizations are performed such as code movement around procedure calls, addition of operations to provide strong atomicity, removal of unnecessary read-to-update upgrades, and removal of operations for newly-allocated objects. During execution, multi-use header words for objects are extended to provide for per-object housekeeping, as well as fast snapshots which illustrate changes to objects. Additionally, entries to software transactional memory logs are filtered using an associative table during execution, preventing needless writes to the logs. Finally a garbage collector with knowledge of the software transactional memory system compacts software transactional memory logs during garbage collection.

摘要:
A representation of types, type-checker, and compiler are provided for checking consistency in various forms of an intermediate language. Type-checking a programming language in a compiler is accomplished by taking one or more rule sets as input to a type-checker, which selects one or more of the rule sets based upon any one, or combination of two or more, of numerous criteria. Among them are stage of compilation, source language, architecture, and level of typing present in the language being type-checked. The language is then type-checked using the selected one or more rule sets. The rule sets can include one rule set corresponding to strong type-checking, one rule set corresponding to weak type-checking, and one rule set corresponding to representation type-checking. In the alternative, a compiler can be provided with a type-checker that constructs the one or more sets of rules at runtime from a larger set of rules based on any one, or combination of two or more, of the previously mentioned criteria.

摘要:
A representation of types, type-checker, method and compiler are provided for checking consistency in various forms of an intermediate language. Specifically, the typed intermediate language is suitable for use in representing programs written in multiple (heterogeneous) source languages including typed and untyped languages, loosely and strongly typed languages, and languages with and without garbage collection. An unknown type representation indicates that an element of the intermediate language is associated with an unknown type. A method of type-checking a code segment written in a programming language is provided using a rule set that contains rules for type-checking an unknown type. The unknown type allows for selectively retaining type information as the compilation process continues and allows multiple programming languages to be type-checked by the same type system.

摘要:
The invention refers to a method and capacitive sensor for counting aerosol nanoparticles in an electric way. Aerosol particles, onto which a fluid was applied in an earlier process by known methods, change the capacitance of the dielectric of the capacitor when entering its field, which causes an electric signal. The method provides for detection of aerosol particles in a wide scope of their presence in the air and is not specific for any shape or chemical composition of nanoparticles.
