A biometric check-in and physiological measurement method and device provides a more convenient and comfortable check-in and physiological measurement process for the patient. With a scan of a part of the patient's body, the patient can be checked-in as well as have his blood pressure, body temperature, and heart rate measured. This method and device also reduces the number of receptionist, nurses, and exam rooms needed in a medical facility, thereby reducing staffing and facility costs.

Provides a dynamic execution link between an analyzer program and each hook instruction in a program. Special types of hook instructions are provided for use in a hooked program. The link causes the analyzer program to execute as part of a continuous uninterrupted execution for each hook instruction. The link uses hardware and/or internal code to access a hook control area which provides linkage information needed to invoke the execution of the analyzer program upon completion of the hook instruction and to continue the execution of the hooked program following the completion of the analyzer program. The linkage information includes the entry location into the analyzer program, and also locates the first hook work area (HWA) of a sequence of HWAs, from which an HWA is assigned to each current hook instruction. The assigned HWA stores a return point location in the hooked program at an instruction following the current hook instruction. One or more hooked programs may concurrently use the same analyzer program.

A Test Operation-Code (TSTOP) instruction pre-verifies the validity of a target instruction op-code prior to execution of the target instruction. The pre-verification function, contained within CPU execution unit microcode, sets a return value in a program status word to indicate one of four conditions: 1. The target instruction is present and operable; 2. The target instruction is present in the computer system, but unavailable on this central processor (e. g. an asymmetric feature). 3. The target instruction is not present in this computer system. 4. The TSTOP op-code is recognized, but the target instruction presence cannot be determined. The return value is testable by the program issuing the TSTOP instruction to determine whether the target instruction should be issued.

In one aspect, a software development technique is capable of efficiently organizing for execution a conditional code segment having multiple associated conditional paths. The development technique employs in association with each path of the code segment, a probability compiler directive which dictates to the compiler a probability for satisfying a conditional test of the associated path. In another aspect, a system/process is capable of optimizing organization of assembled program code for a code's particular execution environment. This optimization approach tunes assembled code organization for each specific execution environment, employing run-time based statistical data collected during performance execution of the assembled code. The execution environment, consisting of hardware, software, and other factors such as workload, input data, etc. , can also be collected and employed by an optimizer unit to best reorganize the assembled program code for a current execution environment.

A method and system for providing a PROGRAM CALL to a dispatchable unit's base space is described herein. A program call to a dispatchable unit's (PC to DU) base space bit is added to each entry-table entry in order to determine whether a PROGRAM CALL to a base space is to be made. Should the bit indicate that a PROGRAM CALL to a dispatchable unit's base space is to be made, then in one embodiment, the base address space number-second-table entry origin (BASTEO) and base address space number (BASN) stored in the dispatchable unit control table (DUCT) are used in identifying the base space and accessing associated control information for the identified base space. In another embodiment, the BASN stored in the DUCT is used in ASN translation to identify the base space and access the associated control information for the base space.
