Title: System, method, and computer program product for warming a cache for a task launch

Abstract

A system, method, and computer program product for warming a cache for a task launch is described. The method includes the steps of receiving a task data structure that defines a processing task, extracting information stored in a cache warming field of the task data structure, and, prior to executing the processing task, generating a cache warming instruction that is configured to load one or more entries of a cache storage with data fetched from a memory.

Methods, systems and computer program products for determining systems re-tasking

Patent Gauthier, John H.; Miner, Nadine E.; Wilson, Michael L.; ...

Methods, systems and computer program products to measure system re-taskability are disclosed. The methods, systems and computer program products may be used in the design of a new or redesign of an existing System of Systems (SoS). Systems re-tasking (aka substitutability or stand-in redundancy) is the process of using different systems to substitute for non-operational systems to meet required functionality, or using multi-function systems to fulfill higher-priority tasks. This ability can increase the overall operational availability of the SoS; it can also increase the adaptability and resilience of the SoS to unknown or changing conditions. The disclosed methods, systems andmore » « less

System, method, and computer program product for bulk synchronous binary program translation and optimization

Patent Diamos, Gregory Frederick

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for. The method includes the steps of executing a block of translated binary instructions by multiple threads and gathering profiling data during execution of the block of translated binary instructions. The multiple threads are then synchronized at a barrier instruction associated with the block of translated binary instructions and the block of translated binary instructions is replaced with optimized binary instructions, where the optimized binary instructions are produced based on the profiling data.

System, method, and computer program product for a two-phase queue

Patent Dally, William J.; Balfour, James David; Ubieto, Ignacio Llamas

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for accessing a queue. The method includes receiving a first request to reserve a data record entry in a queue, updating a queue state block based on the first request, and returning a response to the request. A second request is received to commit the data record entry and the queue state block is updated based on the second request.

Systems, methods and computer program products for constructing complex geometries using layered and linked hexahedral element meshes

Patent Park, Byoung; Roberts, Barry L.; Sobolik, Steven R.; ...

Systems, methods and computer program products for creating 3D representations of bodies are disclosed. The systems, methods and computer program products include the construction of FE meshes representing complex geometries. The complex geometries may be artificially or naturally formed or designed geometries. The techniques reduce the number of elements as much as possible to save on computer run time while maintaining computational accuracy.
