A method, computer program product, and information handling system for generating mixed-mode operations in the compilation of program code for processors having vector or SIMD processing units is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, program instructions making up the body of a loop are abstracted into virtual vector instructions. These virtual vector instructions are treated, for initial code optimization purposes, as vector instructions (i.e., instructions written for the vector unit). The virtual vector instructions are eventually expanded into native code for the target processor, at which time a determination is made for each virtual vector instruction as to whether to expand the virtual vector instruction into native vector instructions, into native scalar instructions, into calls to pre-defined library functions, or into a combination of these. A cost model is used to determine the optimal choice of expansion based on hardware/software constraints, performance costs/benefits, and other criteria.

A data structure, the distribution, may be provided to track the desired and/or actual location of computations and data that range over a multidimensional rectangular index space in a parallel computing system. Examples of such iteration spaces include multidimensional arrays and counted loop nests. These distribution data structures may be used in conjunction with locality-guided work stealing and may provide a structured way to track load balancing decisions so they can be reproduced in related computations, thus maintaining locality of reference. They may allow computations to be tied to array layout, and may allow iteration over subspaces of an index space in a manner consistent with the layout of the space itself. Distributions may provide a mechanism to describe computations in a manner that is oblivious to precise machine size or structure. Programming language constructs and/or library functions may support the implementation and use of these distribution data structures.

A method for anti-piracy protection of a software application by obfuscation of the execution of portions of the applications code is described. The method comprises providing a language specification and library to implement the functions of the language, providing a compiler to translate the language into byte codes, and providing an interpreter to execute the byte codes using the library. The method further comprises providing the language specifications, library, compiler, interpreter, and instructions to a software publisher, wherein the software publisher embeds the library and interpreter in the application to be protected, and selects and prepares application code segments for processing into byte codes by the compiler. The application is then executed using the embedded library and interpreter, wherein the execution of the application is obfuscated by the use of byte codes.

A further aspect of the invention is to provide the compiler, interpreter, and library functions on a secure server, giving the language specification and only limited instructions to the publisher for preparation of the application for protection processing, for the purpose of preventing a hacker from studying the operation of the toolset.

Yet another aspect of the present invention includes an integrated generator that generates the strongly typed components and skeleton code from the platform independent models by applying best practice pattern usage for the target platform currently used with the system library functions.

Trustworthy systems require that code be validated as genuine. Most systems implement this requirement prior to execution by matching a cryptographic hash of the binary file against a reference hash value, leaving the code vulnerable to run time compromises, such as code injection, return and jump-oriented programming, and illegal linking of the code to compromised library functions. The Run-time Execution Validator (REV) validates, as the program executes, the control flow path and instructions executed along the control flow path. REV uses a signature cache integrated into the processor pipeline to perform live validation of executions, at basic block boundaries, and ensures that changes to the program state are not made by the instructions within a basic block until the control flow path into the basic block and the instructions within the basic block are both validated.

There is provided a graphics processing system that includes a main processing unit and a graphics processing unit (GPU). The main processing unit puts rendering commands generated using a graphics library in the queue of a command buffer in a main memory. In this process, the library function offered by the graphics library is converted into the rendering commands, without any rendering attributes retained in the library. The GPU reads and executes the rendering commands stacked in the command buffer, and generates rendering data in a frame buffer.

A system and method for accelerated downloading of dynamic web pages. Initially, customized script library functions are downloaded from the server to the client browser as part of the page frameset. A page request from a user is received by the client browser and transmitted to the server. In turn, page data is fetched by the server from remote data sources and formatted to include library code for invoking associated library functions written in a script programming language, e.g., JavaScript. The formatted data pages is transmitted from the server to the client browser which calls the library functions that were previously downloaded to the client browser in response to the library code in the data pages. The appropriate library functions are invoked from the client browser to generate Hyper-Text Markup Language code that is written to a target frame. Finally, the Hyper-Text Markup Language code written to the target frame is rendered. The downloaded JavaScript library functions are therefore downloaded to the client side only once but accessed multiple times thereby increasing efficiency of downloading and reducing bandwidth. Faster page draw is achieved because of the limited amount of information or data that is repeatedly transferred to the client browser from the server.

A network management system for securely managing network elements (NEs) over arbitrary multi-operator networks, via managing copies of NE configuration files on general purpose computers on a network operations center (NOC).

This is accomplished by a portal device that functions as a transparent converter between regular LAN file transfers between NOC computers and the portal, and between the customized, secured file transfer format used between the portal and NEs.
