20070234294 - Debugging a high performance computing program: Methods, apparatus, and computer program products are disclosed for debugging a high performance computing program by gathering lists of addresses of calling instructions for a plurality of threads of execution of the program, assigning the threads to groups in dependence upon the addresses, and displaying the groups to identify defective... Agent: Ibm (roc-blf)

20070234300 - Method and apparatus for performing state-table driven regression testing: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for performing state-table driven regression testing. More particularly, the invention relates to an application wherein a release build is used without the use of a debug build, which ensures release of the same code that was tested with the exception of the...

20070234295 - Method for executing an application in a virtual container forming a virtualized environment session: This invention relates to a method for dynamic insertion of a computer code processing within a running computer task in a transparent fashion for this target task. It also relates to a method using such a dynamic insertion in order to execute a multi-task application in a virtual container forming... Agent: Ibm Corporation Intellectual Property Law

20070234297 - Software robustness through search for robust runtime implementations: Software program robustness is improved by successfully masking memory safety errors in the software program. For instance, at least some memory safety errors in a software program can be masked by using a runtime memory manager that approximates the semantics of an infinite heap memory manager. In one example, an... Agent: Klarquist Sparkman LLP

20070234296 - Software variation for robustness through randomized execution contexts: Improved robustness of software program executions is achieved via randomization of their execution contexts. For instance, errors related to runtime allocation of memory on the heap can be probabilistically addressed by generating an approximation of the infinite heap and using a randomized memory manager to allocate memory on the heap....
