ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 27 -- United States Patent no. 12,775,542, issued on Oct. 27, was assigned to Amazon Technologies Inc. (Seattle).

"Source code self-debugging using simulated annealing" was invented by Jiangtao Zhang (Pleasanton, Calif.) and Ramu Panayappan (Sunnyvale, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Disclosed are systems and methods that utilize a simulated annealing technique to guide a self-debugging of source code. The disclosed implementations balance between finding immediate fixes for errors and exploring more radical changes that could lead to increases in errors in the short term and finally an error-free final code in the long term. The disclosed implementations improve a...
