Abstract

Methods, storage media, and systems for translating a software expression from a user application programming interface (API) call to an API call of a software development kit (SDK) are disclosed. Some examples may include: receiving a tagged expression indicating that a translation of the software expression from a user API call to an API call of an SDK is to be performed, the SDK being associated with a cloud-native high-performance computing environment, processing an abstract syntax tree associated with the software expression, the processing including replacing symbols in the abstract syntax tree with respective variables, replacing a return statement in the abstract syntax tree with a serialization instruction to write a result to local storage, and serializing the processed abstract syntax tree and providing the serialized abstract syntax tree and one or more resource files to the cloud-native high-performance computing environment for execution.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
receiving a tagged expression indicating that a translation of a software expression from a user application programming interface (API) call to a cloud API call is to be performed;
identifying a function with a return statement in the software expression;
replacing the return statement with a serialization step that writes to a file;
obtaining an abstract syntax tree associated with the software expression;
processing the abstract syntax tree, including replacing symbols in the abstract syntax tree with respective variables;
serializing the processed abstract syntax tree; and
automatically creating a resource binding, wherein the resource binding uploads the file to a cloud storage area available to a cloud-native high-performance computing environment via a network.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cloud API call is an API call of a software development kit (SDK) associated with the cloud-native high-performance computing environment.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing the serialized processed abstract syntax tree as a resource file to the cloud-native high-performance computing environment for execution.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
serializing an output associated with the return statement to a filename; and
adding the filename as an output resource in the resource file.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
creating a batch job to execute at least a portion of the serialized processed abstract syntax tree in the cloud-native high-performance computing environment; and
creating a storage container associated with the batch job.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
expanding the software expression by collecting and analyzing the symbols in the abstract syntax tree;
splitting the software expression into a plurality of individual tasks such that a single expression is created for each task; and
performing the plurality of individual tasks in parallel.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein an individual abstract syntax tree is obtained for each tagged expression.

8. One or more computer storage media including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
receive a tagged expression indicating that a translation of a software expression from a user application programming interface (API) call to a cloud API call is to be performed;
identify a function with a return statement in the software expression;
replace the return statement with a serialization step that writes to a file;
obtaining an abstract syntax tree associated with the software expression;
processing the abstract syntax tree, including replacing symbols in the abstract syntax tree with respective variables;

serializing the processed abstract syntax tree; and
automatically create a resource binding, wherein the resource binding uploads the file to a cloud storage area available to a cloud-native high-performance computing environment via a network.

9. The one or more computer storage media of claim 8 , wherein the cloud API call is an API call of a software development kit (SDK) associated with the cloud-native high-performance computing environment.

10. The one or more computer storage media of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
provide the serialized processed abstract syntax tree as a resource file to the cloud-native high-performance computing environment for execution.

11. The one or more computer storage media of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
create a batch job to execute at least a portion of the serialized processed abstract syntax tree in the cloud-native high-performance computing environment; and
create a storage container associated with the batch job.

12. The one or more computer storage media of claim 8 , further comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
expand the software expression by collecting and analyzing symbols in the abstract syntax tree;
split the software expression into a plurality of individual tasks such that a single expression is created for each task; and
perform the plurality of individual tasks in parallel.

13. A system comprising:
one or more hardware processors; and
a user application programming interface (API) and a code generator implemented on the one or more hardware processors and configured by machine-readable instructions to:
receive a tagged expression indicating that a translation of a software expression from a user API call to a cloud API call is to be performed;
identify a function with a return statement in the software expression;
replace the return statement with a serialization step that writes to a file;
obtaining an abstract syntax tree associated with the software expression;
processing the abstract syntax tree, including replacing symbols in the abstract syntax tree with respective variables;

serializing the processed abstract syntax tree; and
automatically create a resource binding, wherein the resource binding uploads the file to a cloud storage area available to a cloud-native high-performance computing environment via a network.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the user API and the code generator is further configured to:
provide the serialized processed abstract syntax tree as a resource file to the cloud-native high-performance computing environment for execution.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the user API and the code generator is further configured to:
create a batch job to execute at least a portion of the serialized processed abstract syntax tree in the cloud-native high-performance computing environment; and
create a storage container associated with the batch job.

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the user API and code generator is further configured to:
expand the software expression by collecting and analyzing the symbols in the abstract syntax tree;
split the software expression into a plurality of individual tasks such that a single expression is created for each task; and
perform the plurality of individual tasks in parallel.

17. The system of claim 13 , wherein the cloud API call is an API call of a software development kit (SDK) associated with the cloud-native high-performance computing environment.
