A common communication language that can address all the applications running in a multitude of set top boxes (STBs) or client devices and application servers. The present invention, DATP protocol encapsulates a meta language that provides a generic portable communication application programmer interface that requires light processor utilization and is well-suited for a typical STB possessing limited processing power. DATP requires relatively few processing cycles compared to typical Internet communication protocols. DATP reduces the overhead of the communication protocol handler at the STB and makes the communication protocol handler common for all STBs applications. The preferred DATP protocol is portable for all STBs since it is written in a native language that interfaces with the underlying operating system of the STB. A SGW (SGW) performs as a DATP server. The SGW translates between DATP messages and standard communication protocols. SGW enables SP clients at STBs utilizing DATP to communicate with service applications using a variety of communication protocols. A content converter is provided to convert standard Web content into content suitable for display on a client viewing device, e.g., a TV.

A memory management and control system that is selectable at the application level by an application programmer is provided. The memory management and control system is based on the use of policy modules. Policy modules are used to specify and control different aspects of memory operations in NUMA computer systems, including how memory is managed for processes running in NUMA computer systems. Preferably, each policy module comprises a plurality of methods that are used to control a variety of memory operations. Such memory operations typically include initial memory placement, memory page size, a migration policy, a replication policy and a paging policy. One method typically contained in policy modules is an initial placement policy. Placement policies may be based on two abstractions of physical memory nodes. These two abstractions are referred to herein as "Memory Locality Domains" (MLDs) and "Memory Locality Domain Sets" (MLDSETs). By specifying MLDs and MLDSETs, rather than physical memory nodes, application programs can be executed on different computer systems regardless of the particular node configuration and physical node topology employed by the system. Further, such application programs can be run on different machines without the need for code modification and/or re-compiling.

Meta-Rules are a special set of business rules whose purpose is to enable business rules selection and subsequent rule invocation by a business rules manager. Contained within a Meta-Rule are business policy and other information that enables the selection of a business rule used by a business application. Meta-rules allow the system to dynamically select and identify specific business rules to be executed within a given business application. By enabling a higher level of abstraction, and relying on rules to resolve specific business rule selection and invocations, Meta-rules further separate the binding of business knowledge and practice from application programming logic. The application programmer is freed from having specific knowledge of the business rule; all that is required is an assertion that a rule is to be used.

A system whereby a data flow language written in relatively high-level description is compiled to a hardware definition. The hardware definition is then used to configure data flow in a target processing system at execution time, or run time. In a preferred embodiment, the target processing system includes a Reduced-Instruction Set Computer (RISC) processor in communication with a finite state machine (FSM), shared memory, on-board memory, and other resources. The FSM is primarily used for accelerating matrix operations and is considered the target machine to be configured according to the dataflow definition. The RISC processor serves as a co-processor to an external central processing unit (CPU) that is a host processor for executing application code. Other embodiments can use aspects of the invention in any other processing architecture. A dataflow language is used to define interconnections among hardware elements in the matrix datapath and controlled by FSM at run time and, thus, to determine hardware functionality at run time. The interconnectivity between the matrix datapath components, elements or resources, is capable of changing every clock cycle to optimize preferred calculations. The dataflow language is used to describe the optimized functions to an application programmer. The dataflow language is also compiled to a hardware definition that is used to create aspects of the desired functionality in silicon.

A uniform mechanism for building containment hierarchies separates the code/method which actually perform the containment insertion operations on the components from the specification of the containment and then provides an automatic way of obtaining and executing that code when containment hierarchies need to be created. The mechanism consists of an abstract syntax for describing the containment relationships, processing mechanism for creating the containment mechanism, and a registry containing the mechanisms for implementing specific containment policies. Having this abstraction allows an application programmer to be able to construct hierarchies of objects without having to be concerned about the specific details of how that containment is performed. In fact, the details may be deferred until run-time (and even downloaded from elsewhere). Also, having this abstraction significantly simplifies automatic generation of object hierarchy codes, both from the point of view its implementation as well as that of the code that is generated.
