Method and apparatus for merging digital content

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for rendering hypertext markup language content. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a document specifying a hierarchy of HTML elements, each HTML element having a representation in a first visual representation of the document; translating the HTML elements into a hierarchy of vector object primitives, at least one of the HTML elements being translated into a corresponding vector object primitive; and generating the first visual representation of the document by rendering the hierarchy of vector object primitives.

Rendering hypertext markup language content

A system installs an application by identifying a file set indicating files accessed during operation of the application. The system identifies a set of available storage areas that are accessible to a computerized device, and that are capable of storing files in the file set. The system identifies a performance metric associated with each of the storage areas in the set of available storage areas, and positions files from the file set into at least one storage area of the set of available storage areas. The files are positioned based on the performance metrics associated with the one storage area.

Modification of source code reduces a launch time associated with an application program so that the application program more quickly responds to input from a user after startup. One technique of modifying source code includes converting globally defined variables in the source code to local static variables associated with respective newly created functions. Inclusion of the globally defined variables in the source code impacts application launch time because a compiler creates initialization code associated with the globally defined variables that must be run at launch time to initialize the variables in case they are used by functions in the application program. On the other hand, local static variables are initialized when the function that contains them is first called. Thus, use of local static variables in respective newly created functions in lieu of globally defined variables reduce application program launch time.

An access log analyzer processes an access log to identify file access information associated with accessed regions of one or more files. Based on information in the access log as well as information potentially retrieved from the other sources such as a file system or disk on which the files are stored, the access log analyzer initiates display of a respective graphical representation for each of the one or more files. In addition to displaying the graphical representations themselves, the access log analyzer displays visual renderings at relative locations in association with the graphical representations to identify accessed regions of the one or more file as indicated by the file access information in the access log. Accordingly, a user can view a visual depiction of the contents of a disk access log and easily identify respective access patterns associated with the one or more files.
