US Classification:

707 3, 707 4, 707 5

Abstract:

A method and system to minimize to redundancy in testing a new software system by utilizing a knowledge base is provided. The knowledge base may be represented in a form of a decision tree including leaf nodes which store previously tested optimal configurations. When the knowledge base does not contain an optimal configuration for the new software, an optimal solution for the new software system may be determined by adding a further decision tree branch to the initial decision tree. A desirable tree branch may be selected from a table including a predetermined set of desirable tree branches for each category of software. As a result, the number of solutions to be tested on the input software may be limited and cost and effort to run redundant tests on a software system may be reduced.

Appl. No.:

11/334666

Inventors:

Richard Charles Hendrickson - Austin TX, US
Santhosh Rao - Austin TX, US
Peter Wai Yee Wong - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714 47, 714 43

Abstract:

A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer usable code are provided for analyzing input/output problems. A monitoring agent collects input/output data from a plurality of levels in a multi-level input/output stack. The monitoring agent analyzes the input/output data from the plurality of levels to form an analysis. A determination is then made as to whether the analysis requires an action and an action is initiated in response to a determination that the analysis requires an action.

Appl. No.:

Maynard Johnson - Oronoco MN, US
Peter Wai Yee Wong - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 13/24
G06F 9/45

US Classification:

710260, 717154, 717158

Abstract:

A method, system, and computer usable program product for a smart profiler are provided in the illustrative embodiments. An allowable number of interrupts for use by a profiler application is determined. A count number for a counter is determined. The counter is configured to count occurrences of an event in a data processing system up to the count number. An interrupt is raised when the counter has counted the occurrences of the event up to the count number. The interrupt is processed. The counting of occurrences of the event, raising the interrupt, and processing the interrupt are repeated for a predetermined time. A decision is made whether a total number of interrupts raised in the predetermined period differs from the allowable number. The count number of the counter is adjusted to cause the difference between the total number of interrupts in the predetermined period and the allowable number to decrease.

International Classification:

G06F 9/46

US Classification:

718102, 711E12001

Abstract:

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for optimizing a non-uniform memory access system. Each thread in a set of threads is affinitized to a processor in a set of processors at different times to form a temporarily affinitized thread, wherein a single temporarily affinitized thread is present. The set of threads execute on the set of processors to perform one or more tasks each time the temporarily affinitized thread is formed. Information is collected about memory accesses by the temporarily affinitized thread. Based on the collected information about the memory accesses, at least one thread in the set of threads is permanently affinitized to a processor in the set of processors.

Inventors:

John S. Lacombe - Tomball TX
Peter M. Yee - Houston TX

Robert Van Cleve - The Woodlands TX

Assignee:

Compaq Computer Corporation - Houston TX

International Classification:

G06F 100
G06F 1516

US Classification:

713340

Abstract:

A nonintrusive monitoring system is used to determine the onset and duration times of an electrical power outage-caused down condition of a computer without requiring a pre-power outage polling of a running component of the computer and thereby degrading computer system performance. In response to a supply power outage the monitoring system switches on a battery-powered counter device, representatively a digital counter or a real time clock, and then switches the counter device back off in response to resumption of power supply to the computer. A software portion of the monitoring system then detects the count value of the counter device, and utilizes the count value to compute the onset and duration times of the previous power outage. Using an alternative nonintrusive technique, the monitoring system permits the counter device to run during power supply to the computer, while using the computer system clock to generate periodic time stamps, and disables the counter device during computer supply power outages. Upon resumption of supply power to the computer, the monitoring system compares the time stamp information to the count value to determine the onset and duration times of the previous supply power outage.

Appl. No.:

5/625687

Inventors:

Henry Brill - Flushing NY
Peter Yee - East Northport NY

Assignee:

Bulova Watch Company, Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

G06K 710

US Classification:

250568

Abstract:

An electro-optical scanning unit adapted to sense a bar-code pattern and to generate digital signals corresponding thereto. In the unit, an incandescent light source acts to illuminate a narrow slit, and a reduced image thereof is optically projected to produce a luminous scanning line in a focal plane. An oscillating scanning mechanism interposed in the projection path causes the luminous line to sweep back and forth. The focal plane lies within a window formed in a channel dimensioned to receive an item bearing a bar-code pattern and to locate this pattern so that the bars lie in parallel relation to the luminous line, whereby when the line is swept across the pattern and is reflected thereby, the resultant light pulses are directed toward a photo-detector and converted to corresponding digital signals.
