In the present invention, when an abnormality occurs in a task, regardless of whether a critical section is being executed, timeout detection is realized by determining whether the critical section (CS) is necessary for the design in a preset task execution time and a certain period of time to distinguish between necessary interrupt disable and abnormal interrupt disable. A vehicle control device includes task execution means for causing a system to execute a task, and interrupt processing means for performing an interrupt process at the time of execution of the task. A maskable interrupt and a non-maskable interrupt that is commanded to execute after the maskable interrupt are included, the maskable interrupt is commanded to execute during an interrupt disable time, and then the non-maskable interrupt is executed.

A method for access to the shared resources of a computer platform including a multicore processor, shared resources between first partitions according to which requests to access the shared resources emitted by the first partitions are sent to a second partition that, during its execution on the processor, performs said accesses; multiple cores are reserved synchronously for the execution of the second access partition during a predetermined time; the separate accesses to separate shared resources done by the second partition having to be done by separate reserved cores; and all of the accesses to a shared resource done by the second access partition having to be executed, during said predetermined time, by a single core among the reserved cores.

Computer processing unit intra-frame clock and voltage scaling based on graphics application awareness is disclosed. The computer processing unit includes a processor configured to execute a graphics application to generate a graphics image for output to a display. The computer processing unit includes a power management circuit configured to perform clock and voltage scaling (CVS) (i.e., frequency and/or voltage scaling) for the processor. The power management circuit is configured to identify a graphics application dispatched to be executed or being executed by the processor and to set the operating point for the processor based on the identified graphics application. This may allow the processor to operate at a more optimal operating point for performance of graphics and non-graphics applications as opposed to operating each application at a lower operating point due to a graphics application that is more current intensive.

A first flag is set on a backup file to which data to be backed up is written. The first flag indicates that the backup file should be automatically retention locked after a cooling off period is over. Before the cooling off period is over, a request is received to open the backup file for writes. The request is allowed and upon allowing the request, the first flag is cleared and a second flag is set on the backup file indicating that writes are in progress. The clearing of the first flag excludes the backup file from being automatically retention locked after the cooling off period is over.

Method, device, and computer program product for managing processes are disclosed. The method may include, in response to detecting a job to be executed in a job processing system, determining attribute information related to execution of a message queue in the job processing system; and determining, based on the attribute information, allocation information for a process to execute the job. The number of processes can be dynamically adjusted according to the current processing capacity of the job processing system, thereby improving the use of the resources of the job processing system and meanwhile avoiding crashing of the job processing system.

This disclosure is directed to systems and methods for determining target allocation parameters for initiating targeted communications in complex computing networks, which may be associated with the allocation of allocatables in execution events over a period of time. The systems and methods may include receiving a desired allocation; determining a first available allocation at a first time; generating allocation information for a second period comprising the first time; determining a second available allocation at a second time; determining a remaining available allocation, based on the allocation information and the second available allocation; and determining one or more target allocation parameters for initiating a targeted communication to a computing device after the second time.

A processor determines a priority for a user of a digital calendar system. The processor determines a link between the priority and a calendar entry in the digital calendar system. A change to the digital calendar system associated with the priority is determined. An effect on the priority based upon the change to the digital calendar system is determined. Data is generated describing a display of the effect on the priority for display in a user interface of the digital calendar system.

A method for notifying a host to manage background activities in a data storage device is disclosed. The method includes: receiving a query from a host operation system (OS); sending to the host OS, in response to the query, a list of background tasks to be performed in a data storage device; receiving a threshold value for one or more of the background tasks from the host OS; setting a timeout value associated with the threshold value; determining and notifying the timeout value to the host OS; determining that the threshold value is reached for a background task; and notifying the host OS that the SSD may perform the background task in the data storage device after the timeout value expires.

Provided are a method of distributing tasks of an AUTomotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) operating system and managing OsTask using OsAlarm in the AUTOSAR operating system, the method comprises, storing in Counter_BSW a value of a counter at a time when a function for setting an alarm for a basic software (BSW) module is called, storing in Counter_RTE the value of the counter at a time when a function for setting an alarm for an application software (ASW) module is called and correcting an offset value of the alarm for the ASW module using a value of Counter_BSW and a value of Counter_RTE.

There is provided systems and methods for interface data display optimization during critical device operations. A user may utilize a device to perform various device or application functionalities, which may include critical computing tasks at times. These critical processes may include certain GUI data display that the user and/or device requires to be displayed during the critical processes. To prevent the GUI data display from being obscured by other banners, pop-up notifications, or other interface data displays, the device may determine whether the current displayed interface data on the GUI is critical or has a higher priority for display than a new request for data display. This may be based on preferences within the application, where the requested data display may occur on the GUI, current device or application data, and/or information for the requested data display. The device may then block the data display.
