A computing system receives location data from a computing device of a transport provider and based on the location data, monitors a location of the transport provider as the transport provider operates a vehicle to travel towards a service location of the service request. The system determines, based on monitoring the location of the transport provider, that the transport provider has not indicated at least one of a correct start location or a correct start time for fulfilling the service request. In response to determining that the transport provider has not indicated the at least one of the correct start location or the correct start time, the system uses a set of the location data received from the computing device of the transport provider to determine the at least one of the correct start location or the correct start time for fulfilling the service request.

Programmatically determining location information in connection with a transport service

A computer system can communicate with a mobile device of a service provider to receive location data. Additionally, the computer system can monitor, from the location data, a location of the mobile device over a duration that follows the service provider being assigned to a service request. Based on monitoring the location data, the computer system can determine whether the service provider has failed to correctly indicate when a transport service for the service request began. Moreover, the computer system can cause a service application running on the mobile device to prompt the service provider to enter input to identify a start location where the transport service began, in response to the computer system determining that the service provider has not correctly indicated when the transport service begun.

A system for programmatically determining location information in connection with a transport service is disclosed. A driver can operate a driver device and can be assigned to provide a transport service for a user. Based on the current location of the driver device with respect to the pickup location for the user, and based on when the driver provides input indicating that the transport service has begun, the system can identify a previous location of the driver device as a start location of the transport service.

Methods, machine-readable tangible storage media, and data processing systems that enable a debug host device to acquire memory dump information from a debug target device after the target device suffers an unrecoverable system malfunction are disclosed. In one embodiment, data in the volatile memory on a debug target device is accessed via a hardware integrated debug framework, which is also used to access data on a nonvolatile electronically erasable semiconductor memory of a debug target device, and one or more registers of one or more processors on a debug target device, and a core dump is created on the debug host device.

Enhanced debugging for embedded devices

Techniques for tracking memory usages of a data processing system are described herein. According to one embodiment, a memory manager is to perform a first lookup operation in a memory allocation table to identify an allocation entry based on a handle representing a memory address of a memory block allocated to a client and to retrieve a trace entry pointer from the allocation entry. The memory manager is then to perform a second lookup operation in a memory trace table to identify a trace entry based on the trace entry pointer and to increment a memory allocation count of the trace entry. The memory allocation count is utilized to indicate a likelihood of the client causing a memory leak.

Method for tracking memory usages of a data processing system

A system and method are described for warming a processor from a low power state in anticipation of a time critical interrupt. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: detecting that a time-critical interrupt will require processor resources at some point in the future; estimating a time at which the time-critical interrupt will be triggered; scheduling a timer interrupt to fire at a specified time prior to the estimated time that the time-critical interrupt will be triggered, the timer interrupt being scheduled with sufficient time to ensure that the processor is warmed to a level at which it is capable of handling the time-critical interrupt at the time that the time-critical interrupt is triggered; and responsively triggering the timer interrupt at the specified time prior to the time critical interrupt.

System and method for adjusting power usage to reduce interrupt latency

A system and method are described for utilizing task urgency information when making power management decisions. For example, one embodiment of a method for managing power states of a processor comprises: executing a first power management state machine based on a first urgency level associated with a first task; detecting the execution of a second task having a second urgency level associated therewith; if the second urgency level is greater than the first urgency level, then executing a second power management state machine associated with the second urgency level.
