G06F 9/45

US Classification:

717166, 717148, 717153, 717159

Abstract:

A method, system and apparatus for preserving platform independence of a program while supporting native accelerators for performance critical program objects. In a method for preserving platform independence of a program while supporting native accelerators for performance critical program objects, the method can include identifying a reference to a program object in a platform independent computer program and determining if a platform specific implementation of the program object has been separately stored in addition to a platform independent implementation of the program object. If it can be determined that a platform specific implementation of the program object has been separately stored in addition to a platform independent implementation of the program object, the platform specific implementation of the program object can be loaded in lieu of the platform independent implementation.

Inventors:

- Round Rock TX, US
William B. Quinn - Austin TX, US

International Classification:

H04W 28/26
H04W 4/02

Abstract:

An information handling system includes a wireless adapter for communicating with a wireless link and a storage device for storing a spatial-temporal user profile comprising wireless device usage trend data for a location where the information handling system is operating. The information handling system further includes positional detector and an application processor that determines a trajectory estimation during a future time interval. The application processor correlates the wireless device usage trend date for a location in or near the trajectory estimation.
