Application Environment Specifications For Provisioning Application Specific Runtime Environments Using Undefined Symbols

View page
US Patent:
7971182, Jun 28, 2011
Filed:
May 9, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/746546
Inventors:
Stevan Vlaovic - Sunnyvale CA, US
Richard Offer - Sunnyvale CA, US
Lynn LeBlanc - Sunnyvale CA, US
Assignee:
VMware, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G06F 9/45
G06F 9/445
US Classification:
717104, 717121, 717123
Abstract:
Systems and methods of executing an application in an application specific runtime environment are disclosed. The application specific runtime environment is defined by an application environment specification to include a minimal or reduced set of software resources required for execution of the application. The application environment is generated by determining software resource dependencies and is used to provision the application specific runtime environment in real-time in response to a request to execute the application. Use of the application specific runtime environment allows the application to be executed using fewer computing resources, e. g. , memory.

US Patent:
8001083, Aug 16, 2011
Filed:
Sep 26, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/239558
Inventors:
Richard Offer - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
VMware, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G06F 15/177
US Classification:
707636, 707770, 707E1701, 707E17032, 709220, 709226
Abstract:
Systems and methods of executing and/or provisioning an application in an application specific runtime environment are disclosed. The application specific runtime environment is defined by an application environment specification to include a minimal or reduced set of software resources required for execution of the application. These software resources are optionally stored in a resource repository that includes resources associated with a plurality of operating systems and/or executable applications. Various embodiments of the invention include the development of hierarchical resource metadata configured to characterize the various files, packages and file families included in the resource repository. In some embodiments this metadata is used to select between files and different versions of files when provisioning an application specific runtime environment.

US Patent:
8219987, Jul 10, 2012
Filed:
Aug 24, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/895518
Inventors:
Stevan Vlaovic - San Carlos CA, US
