20080276256 | Method and System for Speeding Up Mutual Exclusion - In a multiprocessor computer system, a lock operation is maintained with a thread using non-atomic instructions. Identifiers are assigned to each thread. Flags in conjunction with the thread identifiers are used to determine the continuity of the lock with a thread. However, in the event continuity of the lock with the thread ceases, a compare-and-swap operation is executed to reset the lock with the same thread or another thread. Similarly, in the event there has been a collision between two or more threads requesting the lock, a compare-and-swap operation is executed to assign the lock to one of the requesting threads. Accordingly, prolonged ownership of a lock operation by a thread is encouraged to mitigate use of atomic operations in granting of the lock to a non-owning thread. | 11-06-2008 |

20080320498 | High Performance Script Behavior Detection Through Browser Shimming - The behavior of browser applications, such as web browsers, can be controlled in part by script-based instructions present within documents read by those browsers. To analyze such scripts in an efficient manner, a script analyzer can identify the scripts in the document, divide them into script modules, and order the modules to represent an interpretational flow. The script can be interpreted and executed on a line-by-line basis and its behavior analyzed. Prior to interpretation, the scripts can be reviewed for delay conditionals, and such statements can be modified for more efficient interpretation. Additionally, if, during interpretation, the script generates new script, or modifies existing script, such new scripts can be themselves interpreted. External function calls made by the script can be intercepted and responded to in a generic fashion, limiting the need to create a document object model, based on the document's data, solely for script analysis purposes. | 12-25-2008 |
