Spreadsheet programming model and language is extended to create objects, with their associated state and set of defined behaviors, as first-class spreadsheet cell residents. Desired object behaviors can be invoked by calling methods on the objects through an event-based imperative programming language that potentially modifies the state of an object. Expressions can also be defined by calling methods on objects that produce new objects in combination with operations on objects in other cells. Programming constructs are defined that allows users to perform a sequence of operations on one or more objects. Operations can also be performed automatically similar to spreadsheet triggering mechanism. Users can program to trigger operations either manually or automatically based on changes to objects, or based on conditions defined.

A general-purpose programming environment allows users to program a GPU as a general-purpose computation engine using familiar C/C++ programming constructs. Users may use declaration specifiers to identify which portions of a program are to be compiled for a CPU or a GPU. Specifically, functions, objects and variables may be specified for GPU binary compilation using declaration specifiers. A compiler separates the GPU binary code and the CPU binary code in a source file using the declaration specifiers. The location of objects and variables in different memory locations in the system may be identified using the declaration specifiers. CTA threading information is also provided for the GPU to support parallel processing.

Two multi-rate transmission schemes, multi-code (MC) and variable-spreading-length (VSL) code, for realizing multimedia communications on three types of OFDM-CDMA systems are proposed. These systems can be integrated into a programmable structure such that the operation can be controlled and adjusted by system parameters and thus the transceiver can be used in different systems without changing the fundamental hardware and software architecture, which serves the trend of software-radio for future application. A transceiver architecture of multi-rate OFDM-CDMA systems is illustrated and showed its programmability such that the general system can operate under different scenarios with a common hardware structure and reconfigure by software implementation.

A hierarchy of software components is created based on the programming constructs therein using a computer linked to a database having a collection of legacy software therein. Key component characteristics, e.g., programming constructs are defined. These constructs are assigned weights based on the difficulty or ease with which they can be reused in a new software component for use with a Web system or other network system. The legacy collection is searched to determine which, if any, of the key constructs are included therein. An ordered list is output that includes a list of the components containing the key constructs. The order of the list is based on the weight of the constructs in each component and the frequency with which they occur in each component. The list is then used to determine the effort and thus, the expense required to move entire components or blocks of code in the components into a Web system or other network system.

A framework or system is described for testing compliance and robustness of a communication signal protocol employed by an entity which is connected to an IP based network, particularly for testing a SIP enabled entity or device. Within the framework, multiple test clients are coordinated by a centralized test controller and thus test progress and results can be controlled and monitored in a centralized manner. The framework uses simple template-based test scripts which are easy to write and does not involve complex programming constructs.

The problem of sequentially “squeezing” small fields of data in a larger data path in and out of a memory device can be solved in an algorithmically driven memory tester by defining sub-vectors to represent data in the small field, where a sequence of sub-vectors represents the data that would be represented by a full sized vector if such a full sized vector could be applied to the DUT. A programming construct in the programming language of the algorithmically driven memory tester allows sub-vectors to be defined, as well as an arbitrary mapping that each is to have. The arbitrary mapping is not static, but changes dynamically as different sub-vectors are encountered. Arbitrary dynamic mappings change as sub-vectors are processed, and may include the notion that, during the activity for a sub-vector, this (or these) bit(s) of a vector do not (presently) map to any pin at all of the DUT. The arbitrary dynamic mapping is implemented by a collection of MUX's configured by data stored ahead of time in an SRAM, in accordance with what defining program constructs are encountered by the compiler as it processes the test program. A dynamic reverse mapper, also a collection of MUX's similarly controlled by an SRAM, serves as a de-serializer that assembles a sequence of received sub-vectors into a final received full-sized vector.

One embodiment of the invention provides a system for creating a mask-programmable module from standard cells. The system operates by first specifying characteristics of an end design and then selecting a plurality of standard cells from a standard cell library based on the characteristics of the end design. Next, the system combines the plurality of standard cells into a mask-programmable module, wherein instances of the mask-programmable module are repeated to form a mask-programmable fabric. The system also designs a mask-programmable interconnect to match the mask-programmable module, whereby connections within the mask-programmable module and between mask-programmable modules can be generated by programming the mask-programmable interconnect.

A computer-implemented method for compiling ASL (ACPI Source Language) code into AML (ACPI machine language) code. The method includes accessing an ASL program. A preprocessor is executed to process the ASL program and to insert support for at least one non-native programming construct. The ASL program is then processed using an ASL compiler to compile the ASL program into a resulting AML program.

An approach is provided to ingest software source code files into a question/answering (QA) system. During ingestion, source code blocks are classified to identify one or more constructs in the blocks as being domain-specific. Relationships between the blocks are then mapped. Software compliance regulations are ingested into the QA system. Using the QA system, a source code file is analyzed for compliance to the software compliance regulations. The analysis identifies code sections within the source code file as being domain-specific and subject to the ingested set of software compliance regulations.

A mechanism for incorporating user input modes in a scripting language are provided for. A context allows use of user input modes in a scripting language in a manner that corresponds to their use in a GUI. A programming construct, referred to as a context, specifies at least one user input mode and a state for the user input mode that are applied to a set of instructions. The operations specified by the instructions that are referenced by a context are executed as if the user input modes referred to by the contexts have the state specified by the contexts.

A method for transforming at least a portion of at least one programming structure into a type parameter includes receiving a first list of at least one declaration of at least one programming structure for transforming to a type parameter. The method further includes generating a second list of at least one declaration of the at least one programming structure that must be transformed into a type parameter if the at least one declaration of the first list is transformed to a type parameter. The method further includes generating a third list of at least one declaration of the at least one programming structure that may optionally be transformed into a type parameter and receiving a selection of zero or more declarations from the second list and zero or more declarations from the third list.

An architecture for an integrated circuit with in-circuit programming, allows for dynamically altering the in-circuit programming instruction set itself, as well as other software stored on the chip. The architecture is based on a microcontroller on an integrated circuit having two or more banks of embedded non-volatile memory arrays which store instructions, including an in-circuit programming instruction set. Using a control program stored on the device, the device interactively establishes an in-circuit programming exchange with a remote partner, and updates data and software, including the in-circuit programming instruction set, when needed. The processor and ICP code are responsive to an in-circuit programming update command to write a copy of the in-circuit programming set from a first memory array to a second memory array, and to cause the in-circuit programming to execute the in-circuit programming set from the second memory array to program the non-volatile memory cells of the first memory array with data from the external port.
