Described embodiments provide systems and methods of migrating clients between databases with different schemas. A database migrator may identify a first database accessible by the client including a first data object maintained in accordance with a first schema. The database migrator may generate, using the first database, a second database including the first data object from the first database. The database migrator may store, onto the second database in accordance with a second schema, a second data object received by the first database subsequent to generation of the second database. The database migrator may convert the first data object of the second database from the first schema to the second schema. The database migrator may migrate the client from the first database to the second database responsive to the completion of storing and converting.

Aspects described herein are directed to the concealment of customer sensitive data in virtual computing arrangements. A local computing platform may receive an object including a customer sensitive object name from a user computing device operating on a same internal domain as the local computing platform. The local computing platform may conceal the customer sensitive object name from a virtual computing platform operating on a domain external from the internal domain. The local computing platform may provide the concealed object name to the virtual computing platform for facilitating object enumeration requests from the user computing device during virtual computing sessions. During a virtual computing session between the user computing device and virtual computing platform, the local computing platform may receive the concealed object name from the user computing device and may perform one or more operations to reveal the object name to the user computing device.

Concealment of customer sensitive data in virtual computing arrangements

A computer system which includes a plurality of threads and a garbage collector that traces memory objects and identifies memory objects according to a three-color abstraction. The computer system also includes two methods of deleting compiled code in a self-modifying multi-threaded computer system. The computer system also utilizes a method of handling links between fragments of code in a self-modifying multi-threaded computer system. The computer system also handles patches between two pieces of code.

Systems and methods for response monitoring are described. A method of generating a measurement for use in calculating an end-user experience metric in a server-based computing environment includes, transmitting a message from a client of the server-based computing environment to an application executing in a user space provided by an operating system of the server, receiving a graphic response for execution by the client from the application, and determining an amount of time elapsed between the transmission of the message and the conclusion of the execution of the graphic response.

A solution to avoid performance degradation associated with load-object independence by arranging interface source code, particurlarly JNI source code, in a stylized form, and then preprocessing the stylized interface source code into a Virtual Machine ('VM') specific form. The stylized source code allows a preprocessor to identify and track field and method identifiers, and to match up the field and method uses with the specification of the field or method. The source code is stylized by substituting stylized variable names, each with a native element identifier, for non-stylized variables.

Preprocessing of interfaces to allow fast call through

A dynamic compiler and method of compiling code to generate a dominate path and handle exceptions. The dynamic compiler includes an execution history recorder that is configured to record the number of times a fragment of code is interpreted. When the code is interpreted a threshold number of times, the code is queued for compilation. The execution history recorder also keeps track of where transfer of control came from and where transfer of control goes to for each fragment of code that is executed, thereby allowing for compilation of a dominant path of code. If the execution of code deviates from the dominant path of compiled code (such as when an exception occurs), a fallback interpreter is utilized to interpret the fragment of code to be executed.

A method and system multi-threaded fragment patching. The method provides a link in a self-modifying multi-threaded computer system between a first and a second piece of compiled code where the first piece of compiled code includes a control transfer instruction to the second piece of compiled code. The link is formed by inserting a patch from the first piece of compiled code to the second piece of compiled code. The patch may be a direct reference or a reference to an outlier.

A system and method of direct invocation of Methods using class loaders. The method includes compiling a call to and a Method of a first class (assuming that the Method is final), determining whether the second class includes an instance of the Method of the first class, determining whether the instance of the Method of the second class overrides the Method of the first class, and altering the compiled code of the Method of the first class if the instance of the Method of the second class overrides the Method of the first class.

Direct invocation of methods using class loader

A method and system for handling device driver interrupts in a computer system. An interrupt handling Method is initiating prior to the occurrence of any interrupts in the computer system. The interrupt handling Method is executed to a waiting state, and execution is then resumed when an interrupt occurs. When an interrupt is detected control is transferred to the operating system and the interrupt is dismissed.

A method and structure for reducing search times. The method includes examining the entries in a list in turn beginning with the entry pointed to by a start pointer and continuing until the particular entry is found. The start pointer is then reset to point at the particular entry that was found. The next search will therefore begin to search at the location where the last search ended. Such a strategy increases the likelihood of locating the particular entry faster. The list of entries includes next entry pointers that point to another entry in the list such that the next entry pointers together form a closed loop. If the entire list is searched and the particular entry is not found, the search is aborted.

A method and system of carrying out garbage collection in a computer system. Specifically, the method and system utilize low contention grey object sets for concurrent marking garbage collection. A garbage collector traces memory objects and identifies memory objects according to a three-color abstraction, identifying a memory object with a certain color if that memory object itself has been encountered by the garbage collector, but some of the objects to which the memory object refers have not yet been encountered. A packet manager organizes memory objects identified with the certain color into packets, provides services to obtain empty or partially full packets, and obtain full or partially full packets, and verifies whether a packet of the certain color is being accessed by one of the threads of the garbage collector.

A method and a system of cache management using spatial separation of outliers. The system includes a dynamic compiler arranged to create compiled fragments of code having dominant code blocks and outliers. Memory coupled to the dynamic compiler is managed by a compiler manager such that dominant code blocks are stored in one portion of the memory and the outliers are stored in another portion of the memory. Storing the dominant path code separate from the outliers increases efficiency of the system.

A hash table dispatch mechanism for interface Methods. The mechanism reduces dispatch times during the execution of an object-oriented language program. An interface hash table having a pointer as an index for either a specific location in a corresponding dispatch table or an interface Method of the program is created for a dispatch table. The interface hash table has an address and a plurality of slots having a hash value related to an interface Method. The mechanism includes a recovery Method for resolving conflicts when two or more slots in the interface hash table contain clashing values.
