A virtual memory system implementing the invention provides concurrent access to translations for virtual addresses from multiple address spaces. One embodiment of the invention is implemented in a virtual computer system, in which a virtual machine monitor supports a virtual machine. In this embodiment, the invention provides concurrent access to translations for virtual addresses from the respective address spaces of both the virtual machine monitor and the virtual machine. Multiple page tables contain the translations for the multiple address spaces. Information about an operating state of the computer system, as well as an address space identifier, are used to determine whether, and under what circumstances, an attempted memory access is permissible. If the attempted memory access is permissible, the address space identifier is also used to determine which of the multiple page tables contains the translation for the attempted memory access.

An automated software production system is provided, in which system requirements are captured, converted into a formal specification, and validated for correctness and completeness. In addition, a translator is provided to automatically generate a complete, robust software application based on the validated formal specification, including user-interface code and error handling code.

A system for unobtrusively monitoring web browser execution of JavaScripts, and reporting errors and/or success of execution of the JavaScripts. Web pages are transmitted from a web page server to a web browser, the pages include at least two JavaScripts and one or more AJAX commands. The web browser executes the JavaScripts, and the AJAX commands using a client-side AJAX engine, including establishing an asynchronous connection between the web browser and an error processing server. When the JavaScript completes successfully or terminates through error, a non-cacheable error details message is sent by the monitoring and collecting JavaScript the error processing server via the asynchronous connection.

Methods and architectures for performing hardware error handling using coordinated operating system (OS) and firmware services. In one aspect, a firmware interface is provided to enable an OS to access firmware error-handling services. Such services enable the OS to access error data concerning platform hardware errors that may not be directed accessed via a platform processor or through other conventional approaches. Techniques are also disclosed for intercepting the processing of hardware error events and directing control to firmware error-handling services prior to attempting to service the error using OS-based services. The firmware services may correct hardware errors and/or log error data that may be later accessed by the OS or provided to a remote management server using an out-of-band communication channel. In accordance with another aspect, the firmware intercept and services may be performed in a manner that is transparent to the OS.

A method and system for tracking and processing errors in a distributed computer system. As an application encounters an error, a centralized system intercepts and assumes the processing of that error event. The central error processing may be used with a distributed network connecting the applications running on various user computers. Upon receipt of an error message from an application, the system creates an informative error package, propagates appropriate error alert to relevant subsystems, and attempts to resolve the error. The error may be resolved in various ways. For example, the system may select and dispatch appropriate help information to the user; or the system may locate an alternative resource to substitute for the failed resource. The system may prioritize errors when there is more than one error still unresolved at any given time. In addition, the system may filter errors that require different levels of response and the system may direct errors to resources capable of assisting in resolving the error.

A technique for improving performance in a multi-processor system by reducing access latency by correlating processor, node and memory allocation. Specifically, a Process/Thread Scheduler is modified such that system mapping and node proximity tables may be referenced to help determine processor assignments for ready-to-run processes/threads. Processors are chosen to minimize access latency. Further, the Page Fault Handler is modified such that free memory pages are assigned to a process based partially on the proximity of the memory with respect to the processor requesting memory allocation.

A system, method, and a computer program product for caching multi-dimensional data based on an assumption of locality of reference. A user sends a query for data. A described compilation module converts the query into a set of cubelet addresses and canonical addresses. In the described embodiment, if the data corresponding to the cubelet address is found in a data cache, the data cache returns the cubelet, which may contain the requested data and data for "nearby" cells. The data corresponding to the canonical addresses is extracted from the returned cubelet. If the data is not found in a data cache, a fault handler queries a back-end database for the cubelet identified by the cubelet address. This cubelet includes the requested data and data for "nearby" cells. The requested data and the data for "nearby cells" are in the form of values of measure attributes and associated canonical addresses. The returned cubelet is then cached and the data corresponding to the canonical addresses is extracted.

An apparatus, program product and method provide a generic error reporting and diagnosis framework that is readily suited for use in a wide variety of distributed computing environments, and that supports the autonomic reporting, diagnosis, and potentially the remediation of errors. The framework supports the encapsulation of symptomatic data associated with an error in a component of a distributed computing environment such that the encapsulated symptomatic data may be routed to an error processing facility, typically irrespective of the underlying nature of the error and the hardware and/or software platform of the component that generated the error. The error processing facility is in turn capable of routing the encapsulated symptomatic data to one or more diagnostic agents that are capable of processing the symptomatic data to prescribe a treatment for the error.

Apparatus and method to decode video data while maintaining a target video quality using an integrated error control system including error detection, resynchronization and error recovery are described. Robust error control can be provided by a joint encoder-decoder functionality including multiple error resilience designs. In one aspect, error recovery may be an end-to-end integrated multi-layer error detection, resynchronization and recovery mechanism designed to achieve reliable error detection and error localization. The error recovery system may include cross-layer interaction of error detection, resynchronization and error recovery subsystems. In another aspect, error handling of a scalable coded bitstream is coordinated across a base-layer and enhancement layer of scalable compressed video.

A client component runs on a user computer in conjunction with a web browser and detects errors, such as but not limited to “404: page not found” errors, in which a requested web page or other object cannot be displayed. In response to detecting the error, the client component notifies an error processing server, which uses the URL of the failed request to identify an alternate object to display. The alternate object may, for example, be (a) an object retrieved from replacement URL, or from a URL that is otherwise related to the requested object, (b) a cached version of the requested object, (c) an object retrieved from a closely matching URL found in the user's clickstream history, or (d) a dynamically generated page that includes links to one or more of the foregoing types of alternate objects. Also disclosed are methods for identifying alternate objects for a given URL.

A method is provided for manufacturing, the method comprising processing a workpiece, measuring a parameter characteristic of the processing, and forming an output signal corresponding to the characteristic parameter measured by using the characteristic parameter measured as an input to a transistor model. The method also comprises predicting a wafer electrical test (WET) resulting value based on the output signal, detecting faulty processing based on the predicted WET resulting value, and correcting the faulty processing.

Error handling is simplified for a self-virtualizing IO resource that utilizes a physical function adjunct partition for a physical function in the self-virtualizing IO resource to coordinate error recovery for the self-virtualizing IO resource, by restarting each virtual function adjunct partition associated with that physical function to avoid the need to coordinate error recovery within the logical partitions to which such virtual function adjunct partitions are assigned.

Methods and apparatus for an inter-processor communication (IPC) link between two (or more) independently operable processors. In one aspect, the IPC protocol is based on a “shared” memory interface for run-time processing (i.e., the independently operable processors each share (either virtually or physically) a common memory interface). In another aspect, the IPC communication link is configured to support a host driven boot protocol used during a boot sequence to establish a basic communication path between the peripheral and the host processors. Various other embodiments described herein include sleep procedures (as defined separately for the host and peripheral processors), and error handling.

A method and laboratory system for handling sample tubes and an image analysing unit are disclosed. The laboratory system comprises a transfer unit for transferring incoming primary racks (PR) containing sample tubes (S), an image analysing unit (310), and an identification and allocation unit. The method to handle laboratory sample tubes includes steps of: transferring an incoming primary rack (PR) containing sample tubes (S) to the image analysing unit (310); determining, in the image analysing unit (310), geometry parameters of at least one sample tube contained in the primary rack by means of image analysing; comparing for each sample tube the determined geometry parameters with predetermined geometry criteria and identifying whether the sample tube's geometry fulfils the predetermined criteria; in case of fulfilment, categorising the sample tube as system conform; otherwise categorising the sample tube as non-system conform. Each sample tube identified as system conform is entered into further processing and each sample tube identified as non-system conform is entered into error processing.

As part of electronically handling a large amount of data (e.g., error messages) generated within, for example, a telephone service provider's billing network, a configuration utility software allows a user to electronically change or update various configuration parameters for another software application, e.g., a loader application, and also to access the performance data generated by the loader application so as to optimize the performance of the loader application in varying data transfer situations. The loader application, in turn, is a computer-based data transfer application that electronically loads a large volume of data, e.g., telecommunication billing data, from one computer into another computer. The loader application thus substantially reduces human involvement during transfers of large amount of data, and thereby also reduces errors typically associated with manual data entries by human data operators. After completion of data transfers, an error handler program facilitates electronic investigation and disposal of errors in the received data, thereby minimizing participation of human operators in the data error rectification process. The reduced reliance on manual identification and correction of data errors thus results in increased accuracy and efficiency in the overall network data management and customer billing operations.
