A hardware design language V++ is described. V++ provides an automatically designed and implemented communications protocol, embedded by a compiler in the design itself. This protocol permits transparent, automatic communication between modules in a hardware design. The protocol generalizes current design practice and impacts neither the cycle time, nor the area, of a typical system. Incorporating this protocol in the language itself frees the designer from the task of writing communications code, and ensures that two communicating modules follow the same low-level protocol. In V++ each program is directly interpreted as a network of communicating finite state machines. The composition of two V++ programs is a V++ program, with well-defined, deterministic semantics.

A method and system for converting plain text into structured data. Parse trees for the plain text are generated based on the grammar of a natural language, the parse trees are mapped on to instance trees generated based on an application-specific model. The best map is chosen, and the instance tree is passing to an application for execution. The method and system can be used both for populating a database and/or for retrieving data from a database based on a query.

A system and method are provided for selectively inferring latch elements in a circuit design from an event-driven hardware description language (HDL) file to an event-independent format. The method includes modeling the file as a plurality of data flow equations, analyzing the plurality of equations for uninitialized variables, and placing a latch at any utilized, uninitialized variable. Control signal information for an inferred latch is also derived during the data flow analysis.

A method for authentication in a client computer and a remote computer is disclosed. A client base value is obtained, selected by a user of the client computer for at least a first usage purpose. A client integer is obtained, selected by the user for at least a second usage purpose. The client base value is combined with the client integer to obtain a client combination. The client combination is hashed to obtain a client password.

A collection of job slots correspond to placement of observed jobs associated with a plurality of job categories in a data processing environment. An incoming job is received, and based on a job category of the incoming job, the incoming job is assigned to a particular one of the job slots to perform placement of the incoming job on physical resources.
