International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707723, 707724, 707725, 707732, 707748

Abstract:

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates automatically organizing digital images using metadata which is embedded in the digital images. The system operates by receiving a digital image with embedded metadata, wherein the embedded metadata includes Global Positioning System (GPS) data. The system uses the embedded metadata, including the GPS data, to identify additional metadata associated with the digital image. The system then saves the digital image on a storage medium. In addition, the system saves the embedded metadata and the additional metadata on the storage medium in a searchable format.

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

717170, 717169, 717173

Abstract:

A mechanism is provided for providing a native code library from a server to an application written in an interpreted programming language for execution on a remote computer. An installer object is invoked from within a main class of the interpreted programming language application. The install object extracts a file list from the server including at least one native code library filename indicating a native code library. The native code library indicated by the native code library filename is installed to a target directory on the remote computer and the main class of the interpreted programming language application is then invoked on the remote computer. Additional native code library dependencies are also installed to the target directory on the remote computer.

International Classification:

G06F 9/445

US Classification:

717178, 718 1, 717175

Abstract:

A mechanism is provided for executing an interpreted programming language application from a server at a designated virtual machine on a client computer. A manifest file is extracted which indicates at least one resource for the interpreted programming language application as well as the repository file that provides the at least one resource. The repository file is located in a web start cache and copied to a run directory accessible by the designated virtual machine, outside the web start cache. After terminating the web start application, a particular virtual machine is designated from a plurality of virtual machines based upon the run directory to which the bootstrap class copied the resource repository file thereby forming the designated virtual machine. The interpreted programming language application is then executed from the run directory using the at least one resource.

US Classification:

717178, 718 1, 717175

Abstract:

A method, system and program of executing an interpreted programming language application from a server at a designated virtual machine on a client computer are provided. A manifest file is extracted which indicates at least one resource for the interpreted programming language application as well as the repository file associated with the resource. The repository file is located in a web start cache and moved to a run directory accessible by the designated virtual machine, outside the web start cache. The interpreted programming language application is then executed from the run directory using the at least one resource.

Inventors:

Steven L. Elliott - Austin TX, US
Nikhil Gupta - Cedar Park TX, US
Christopher Victor Lazzaro - Austin TX, US

International Classification:

H04J 1/16

US Classification:

370252

Abstract:

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for identifying a maximum round trip time over a socket for use in transmitting data over a connection. During a beginning phase of a send operation through a socket, packets are sent on the connection as fast as possible. The as fast as possible value is determined by the network and an event is generated that flows back to the application. Sending of the packets is halted in response to this event. Round trip times for the packets sent are identified by waiting for the acknowledgement for the packets sent. The maximum round trip time from the various round trip times is identified, wherein the maximum round trip time used in an adaptive bandwidth control algorithm to determine the optimum rate of sending the data to the endpoint.

International Classification:

H04J 1/16

US Classification:

370252

Abstract:

A computer implemented method, apparatus and computer usable program code for identifying a minimum round trip time over a socket for use in transmitting data over a connection. Two packets are sent over the connection to an endpoint. Round trip times are identified for the two packets in response to receiving acknowledgments for the two packets. Two additional packets of the connection are sent after round trip times for the two packets have been identified. Additional round trip times for the two additional packets are identified in response to receiving additional acknowledgments for the two additional packets. The repeating and identifying steps are repeated for a selected period of time, wherein a lowest round trip time identified for packets sent over the connection during the selected period of time is used as the minimum round trip time for use in sending data over the connection.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709203

Abstract:

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for distributing files. A configurable threshold is set. A notification of a file to upload is received. An entry for the file is created in a database. A determination as to whether the size of the file is less than the configurable threshold is made. Responsive to a determination that the size of the file is greater than or equal to the configurable threshold, the file is copied to a plurality of servers, and the entry in the database is updated by adding the locations of the plurality of servers. Responsive to a determination that the file is less than the configurable threshold, the file is stored in a storage, and the entry in the database is updated with the location of the file.

International Classification:

G06F 9/38

US Classification:

712240, 712E09045

Abstract:

A method and apparatus are provided for increasing the accuracy of a branch predictor. A branch prediction table provides a first instance of a branch prediction value associated with an instruction being speculatively executed a first time; and provides a second instance of the branch prediction value associated with the instruction being speculatively executed a second rime. The first instance of the branch prediction value may be subsequently revised after the instruction associated with the first instance of the branch prediction value is retired. Information regarding whether that branch instruction was accurately predicted may then be used to update the branch prediction table and the second instance of the branch prediction value.
