A computer assisted name-based aggregation system that acquires anonymized data from a plurality of service providing systems without obtaining the personal information, and identifies the name of the acquired anonymized data. The computer assisted name-based aggregation system transmits a transmission request that requests transmission of data, and a value that changes for each transmission request to the plurality of service providing systems; receives a set containing hash values created based on an identification number for controlling data and the aforementioned value, and the anonymized data specified by the identification number, from the plurality of service providing systems; and identifies the name of anonymized data specified by the hash value from the anonymized data received from each of the plurality of service providing systems.

Computer assisted name-based aggregation system for identifying names of anonymized data

A virtual machine can be extended to be aware of secondary cores and specific capabilities of the secondary cores. If a unit of platform-independent code (e.g., a function, a method, a package, a library, etc.) is more suitable to be run on a secondary core, the primary core can package the unit of platform-independent code ('code unit') and associated data according to the ISA of the secondary core. The primary core can then offload the code unit to an interpreter associated with the secondary core to execute the code unit.

Processing code units on multi-core heterogeneous processors

Provided is a method that enables an interpretive engine to execute in a non-homogeneous, multiple processor architecture. Am interpretive engine is modified to identify code native to a target processor that is executing an ISA different than the ISA of the processor executing the interpretive engine. An intermediate function is called to correlate the native code with a processor type and a target processor is identified. A context is created for the native code and the context is either transmitted to the target processor or stored in a memory location such that the target processor may retrieve the context. Once the context is transmitted, the target processor executes the task. Results are either transmitted to the originating processor or placed in memory such that the originating processor can access the result and the originating processor is signaled of the completion of the task.
