A processor may receive a query from a user. The query may include one or more portions. The processor may identify a primary function. The processor may determine to segment the primary function into two or more subsidiary functions. The processor may process a first portion of the query with a first subsidiary function. The processor may display a processed outcome of the query to the user.

Serverless composition of functions into applications

Converting data transformations entered in a spreadsheet program into a circuit representation of those transformations. The circuit representation can run independently of the spreadsheet program to transform input data into output data. In some cases the circuit representation is in the form of hardware, accepts and/or produces data streams, and/or the circuit and/or output data or data streams can be shared among multiple users and/or subscribers. Where data streams are processed, the transformations may include well-specified timing semantics, supporting operations that involve rate-based rate manipulation, value-based rate manipulation, and/or access to past cell values.
