Accessing migrated members in an updated type is described. Instructions to access a migrated member may be: (a) storing a value of a particular type as a value of a migrated field, or (b) invoking a migrated method using an argument of a particular type. The argument of the particular type, specified in the instructions, is converted into a value of the type associated with the current version of the migrated member. The migrated member is accessed using the converted value. Alternatively, instructions may be: (a) fetching and returning a value of a migrated field as a value of a particular type, or (b) returning a value from a migrated method as a value of a particular type. A value is returned via accessing the current version of the migrated member. The returned value is converted into a value of the particular type specified in the instructions.

The present disclosure relates to a processor that includes one or more processing elements associated with one or more instruction set architectures. The processor is configured to receive a request from an application executed by a first processing element of the one or more processing elements to enable a feature associated with an instruction set architecture. Additionally, the processor is configured to enable the application to utilize the feature without a system call occurring when the feature is associated with an instruction set architecture associated with the first processing element.

Optimizations are provided for sibling calls. A sibling caller is marked to indicate that it may call a sibling routine or that it may call an external sibling routine. Based on the marking, certain processing is performed to facilitate use of sibling calls, particularly when the sibling routine being called is external to the caller.

A thermal manager manages programmable devices that include one or more accelerators. The thermal manager may be part of an accelerator manager that manages multiple accelerators in multiple programmable devices. The thermal manager monitors the temperature of a programmable device and casts out one or more accelerators when the temperature of the programmable device exceeds a threshold. Where there are multiple accelerator images that have different thermal effects for a given function the thermal manager may replace the cast out accelerator with another accelerator image for the same function that uses less power.

Techniques for ranking service implementations for a service interface are disclosed. Each module that includes a service implementation may be referred to as a service provider module. The ranking of the service implementations, for the particular service interface, may be based on modular information. Modular information includes information associated with module dependencies and/or service dependencies corresponding to one or more of a candidate set of service provider modules. Additionally or alternatively, the ranking of the service implementations, for the particular service interface, may be based on statically-available information and/or dynamically-available information associated with one or more of a candidate set of service implementations.

The argument of the particular type, specified in the instructions, is converted into a value of the type associated with the current version of the migrated member. The migrated member is accessed using the converted value. Alternatively, instructions may be: (a) fetching and returning a value of a migrated field as a value of a particular type, or (b) returning a value from a migrated method as a value of a particular type. A value is returned via accessing the current version of the migrated member. The returned value is converted into a value of the particular type specified in the instructions.

Systems and methods of enabling virtual calls in a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) environment may involve detecting a virtual call of a function and using a single dispatch of the function to invoke the virtual call for two or more channels of the virtual call. In one example, it is determined that the two or more channels share a common target address and a single dispatch of the function is conducted with respect to the common target address. The process may be iterated for additional channels of the virtual call that share a common target address.

An augmenting system for augmenting a program's original class with an augmenting class is provided. In some embodiments, the augmenting system receives a definition of an augmenting class that includes a data member. The augmenting system generates resolution code for the computer program. The resolution code is for accessing a reference to an original instance of the original class and providing a reference to a corresponding augmenting instance of the augmenting class. When processing a statement of the computer program that accesses the data member using the reference to the original instance, the augmenting system generates access code for the computer program. The access code uses the resolution code to retrieve the reference to the augmenting instance for the original instance and accesses the data member based on the retrieved reference to the augmenting instance.

The present disclosure discloses a game rendering method and a terminal device. The terminal device includes a JS layer, a bridge layer, and a system framework layer. The method includes the follows. The JS layer transmits drawing instructions cached in an instruction set to the bridge layer, when a number of the drawing instructions cached in the instruction set is greater than or equal to a first threshold. The bridge layer obtains a rendering result by using an OpenGL capability to process the drawing instructions, and transmits the rendering result to the system framework layer. The system framework layer performs rendering based on the rendering result.

Embodiments include a code loader method for loading attributes corresponding to an isolated method by a container-based language runtime. The attributes are received by the container-based language runtime without any specified container for storage of the isolated method attributes. The attributes received as parameters of code loader method and include instructions, live objects, and parameter types corresponding to the isolated method. The container-based language runtime selects a first-order container for storing the attributes of the isolated method.
