A computer-implemented system and method creates and stores measurement statement objects representing complete statements of measurement. Each measurement statement object represents a measurement, such as 'the left wing of the F-16 aircraft has a span of 36 m,' and contains a value object, an aspect object, and an entity object. The value object represents a value of the measurement (such as 36 meters) and the aspect object represents an aspect of the measurement (such as span). The value is a value of the aspect of the measurement. The entity object represents an entity (such as the left wing of an F-16 aircraft) measured by the measurement. The aspect of the measurement is an aspect of the entity measured by the measurement M. Measurement statement objects may be created by parsing text describing measurements. Operations including computations, validation, searching, and reporting may be performed on measurement statement objects.

Portable self-describing representations of measurements

A system and method to allow a user to engage in a collaborative discourse embedded in messaging platforms such as email or instant messaging, and to visualize the structure of that discourse. The system provides the ability to create and modify tree-like structures, which can represent outlines or tables of contents employed in documents. These structures take the place of traditional documents in representing the work product of a knowledge worker. These structures are related to the discourse in that messages may refer to nodes of these structures, and hence be understood to be related. It is the interplay between the creation of a structured message-based discourse and the persistent outline-form knowledge structures that allows message-based correspondence, including the reading and writing of documents, to be performed with increased efficiency and at a higher level of integration.

With a continuous source of data relating to transactions, the data may be segmented and processed in a data flow arrangement, optionally in parallel, and the data may be processed without storing the data in an intermediate database. Data from multiple sources may be processed in parallel. The segmentation also may define points at which aggregate outputs may be provided, and where checkpoints may be established.

A performance monitor represents execution of a data flow graph by changing performance information along different parts of a representation of that graph. If the graph is executed in parallel, the monitor can show parallel operator instances, associated datalinks, and performance information relevant to each. The individual parallel processes executing the graph send performance messages to the performance monitor, and the performance monitor can instruct such processes to vary the information they send. The monitor can provides 2D or 3D views in which the user can change focus, zoom and viewpoint. In 3D views, parallel instances of the same operator are grouped in a 2D array. The data rate of a datalink can be represented by both the density and velocity of line segments along the line which represent it. The line can be colored as a function of the datalink's source or destination, its data rate, or the integral thereof. Alternatively, a histogram can be displayed along each datalink's line, displaying information about the rate of, total of, or value of a field in, the data sent, at successive intervals. The user can click on objects to obtain additional information, such as bar charts of statistics, detailed performance listings, or invocation of a debugger. The user can selectively collapse representations of graph objects into composite representations, highlight objects which are out of records or which have flow blockages; label operators; turn off the display of objects; and record and playback the performance information.

Apparatuses and methods for monitoring performance of parallel computing

A method and system for encoding nested matrices and vectors. The system can be used in a live mathematical document program executed on a computer processor. The mathematical document program stores elements of matrices in contiguous memory locations in a primary memory as floating point numbers. Each scalar element is stored as a floating point number. Each matrix element is stored as a two part combination such that the two part combination occupies no more memory space than each scalar element, The first part of the two part combination including a code to indicate that the entry is a symbolic entity and the second part of the two part combination includes a pointer to a memory location storing elements of the matrix element. The scalar elements and the two part combinations are stored in contiguous memory locations in primary memory.

Encoding method to enable vectors and matrices to be elements of vectors

A mathematical document editor that can perform live symbolic calculations. The mathematical document editor is capable of placing mathematical expressions at any position on a computer screen, that represents a printed document. A symbolic dependency graph is maintained such that it always reflects the mathematical dependencies on the computer screen. Any expression which includes a symbolic evaluation operator is evaluated by a symbolic algebra engine, taking into account all the definitions and constraints upon which the expression depends. If an expression is modified, introduced or deleted, the symbolic dependency graph is used to determine which expression containing the symbolic evaluation operator need to be modified. The present invention ensures that the document is `up to date` in the sense that all expressions, including those requiring symbolic calculations, are consistent with all antecedent expressions upon which they depend.
