A method of delegating work of a computer program across a mixed computing environment is provided. The method includes: performing on one or more processors: allocating a container structure on a first context; delegating a new operation to a second context based on the container; receiving the results of the new operation; and storing the results in the container.

Methods and systems for delegating work objects across a mixed computer environment

A method of linking a computer program across a mixed computing environment is provided. The method includes, performing on one or more processors: identifying signatures of elements of the computer program; loading a plurality of modules of the computer program; and linking the plurality of modules using the signatures of the elements.

Methods and systems for linking objects across a mixed computer environment

A method of debugging a computer program across a mixed computing environment is provided. The method includes attaching a first debug module to a first program module of the computer program, where the first program module is operating on a first node; attaching a second debug module to a second program module of the computer program, where the second program module operating a second node of a different computer architecture; and initiating debug functions of at least one of the first debug module and the second debug module through a distant linker.

Methods and systems for interactive debugging in a mixed computer environment

Existing text output from a design rule checker is put in appropriate input format, and automatically displayed as text within a design tool using existing design tool capabilities, such as highlighting, zooming, and drawing box-regions. A graphical display of the output of the rule checker includes the informative text. Design rule violations are listed in a manner in which they can be individually selected. The output is displayed on a unique software program layer within the design tool so as to not effect or make any permanent changes to the original design file. The layers can be safely deleted when no longer in use.

Method and system for creating, viewing, editing, and sharing output from a design checking system

An improved solution for designing and/or evaluating a circuit is provided. A rule violation can be detected in design data for the circuit and a prediction can be generated based on an adjustment to the design data. For example, multiple predictions can be generated based on an adjustment window for an adjustable parameter in the design data. The predictions can be displayed to a user, who can determine a desired modification to the design data. The modification can be implemented by the user and/or automatically implemented by a circuit design tool.
