Generating language-translated versions of software include a parsing engine to scan original-language versions of software, and detect textual string or other expressions which may require translation for other countries or markets. After testing for prior translation, those strings may be converted to appropriate expressions in other languages, and for instance stored in paired-memory or other format. Users may download the original version of the software, and then install run-time, language-specific resources to tailor the software to their market or country. The run-time, language-specific resources may be or include resource-only dynamic link libraries (dlls). In embodiments the target language into which translation may be made may be automatically detected using the regional settings of the user's machine, or otherwise. Because translation resources for various sets of languages may be generated before the release of the original code, software products may be deployed in various markets and countries at the same time as the original code. Staggered release of localized versions of a software product in one country after the other is therefore not necessary, and software maintenance is made more efficient.

Methods and apparatus to support dynamic allocation of traffic management resources in a network element. Shared pools of traffic management resources comprising an aggregation of local line card resources distributed across the line cards or a network element maintained by apparatus software. Incoming packets are classified into subscriber flows using a hierarchical classification scheme. In view of subscriber services and flow application types, traffic management resources are dynamically allocated from the shared pools, and traffic management policies associated with the subscriber services and application types are applied to the subscriber flows via the allocated resources. In response to detecting a subscriber flow has terminated, the allocated resources are release and made available to be dynamically re-allocated to subsequent subscriber flows.

A non-uniform memory access (NUMA) data processing system includes a plurality of nodes coupled to a node interconnect. The plurality of nodes contain a plurality of processing units and at least one system memory having a table (e.g., a page table) resident therein. The table includes at least one entry for translating a group of non-physical addresses to physical addresses that individually specifies control information pertaining to the group of non-physical addresses for each of the plurality of nodes. The control information may include one or more data storage control fields, which may include a plurality of write through indicators that are each associated with a respective one of the plurality of nodes. When a write through indicator is set, processing units in the associated node write modified data back to system memory in a home node rather than caching the data. The control information may further include a data storage control field comprising a plurality of non-cacheable indicators that are each associated with a respective one of the plurality of nodes. When a non-cacheable indicator is set, processing units in the associated node are instructed to not cache data associated with non-physical addresses within the group translated by reference to the table entry. The control information may also include coherency control information that individually indicates for each node whether or not inter-node coherency for data associated with the table entry will be maintained with software support.
