A method and system automatically creates and operates a web application from a spreadsheet without the need for specialized programming. The web application includes a guided data entry process created from spreadsheet worksheets. The web application interfaces with a database application, so that model data may be retrieved for analysis. The web application implements the model as a calculator data defining the relationships between the model values. A rendering data defines the appearance of the model values in the web application. A instance data includes the model values for an instance of the web application. A calculation engine calculates model values. A layout engine creates display information from the calculator, rendering, and instance data set. The rendering data includes objects having display methods for creating display information in accordance with its object type. Object types include inputs, outputs, and user interface elements.

System and methods are provided to cache encoded graphical objects that may be subsequently combined with other encoded video data to form a data stream decodable by a client device according to a format specification. Paint instructions relating to a graphical object are sent from a layout engine to a rendering library. A shim intercepts these instructions and determines whether the graphical object already has been rendered and encoded. If so, a cached copy of the object is transmitted to the client device. If not, the shim transparently passes the instructions to the rendering library, and the object is rendered, encoded, and cached. Hash values are used for efficiency. Methods are disclosed to detect and cache animations, and to cut and splice cached objects into encoded video data.

A stream application may allocate processing elements to one or more compute nodes (or hosts) to achieve a desired optimization goal. Each optimization mode may define processing element selection criteria and/or host selection criteria. When allocating a processing element to a host, a scheduler may place each processing element individually. Accordingly, the scheduler may use the processing element selection criteria for selecting which processing element in the stream application to allocate next. The scheduler may then determine, based on one or more constraints, which host the processing element can be placed on. If the scheduler determines that multiple hosts are suitable candidates for the processing element, it may use the host selection criteria to pick one of the candidate hosts that further optimize the stream application to meet the desired goal.

Embodiments of the present invention include techniques for reducing artifacts in rendered images. In one embodiment, a dual UV engine generates a dual of the graph defined by an initial UV set associated with a 3D model. The dual UV engine then uses existing flattening and layout engines to generate a dual UV set from this dual graph. Using the dual graph to define the dual UV set ensures that the seams corresponding to the initial UV set and the dual UV set minimally intersect.

A method and a system are for dynamically generating user interfaces for an application, independently of resolution and platform. In this case, a configuration file is read in and interpreted. A layout engine generates the user interface by accessing a mapping which assigns a respective control event to an event handler.

Systems, methods, and devices are directed towards identifying a web browser by targeting a document parser component in a layout engine of a web browser. Malformed HTML may be provided to a client device having the web browser. Based on how the layout engine responds to the received malformed HTML, a fingerprint can be generated classifying/identifying a class, type, and other features of the web browser/layout engine. Other fingerprinting techniques may be combined with this malformed HTML approach to improve an accuracy of web browser identification, or to be used to detect/counter user-agent spoofing. Identification of the web browser/layout engine may then be used, among other things, to provide web content that is formatted to be useable by the receiving client device.

A record management system is provided for generating a multi-dimensional view for different measures. A set of records is retrieved in response to a set of queries. The records include dimension values and measure values, which are associated with the measures. The set of records is maintained in a master table. The record management system generates a record structure foundation, including a query map and a master table index.
