Abstract:
A system and method for conveying data include the capability to determine whether a transaction request credit has been received at a computer module, the transaction request credit indicating that at least a portion of a transaction request message may be sent. The system and method also include the capability to determine, of a transaction request message is to be sent, whether at least a portion of the transaction request message may be sent and to send the at least a portion of the transaction request message if it may be sent.
Abstract:
A high performance computing system with a plurality of computing blades has at least one computing blade that includes one or more computing boards and two side rails disposed at either side of the computing board. Each side rail has a board alignment element configured to hold the computing board within the computing blade, so that a top of the computing board is coupled to, and adjacent to, a portion of the board alignment element.
Abstract:
A system may provide a visualization function during computational functions performed by a host system. Access to a library of functions including a visualization function is provided. Then, a computing application is executed. The execution of the computing application includes generating multi-dimensional data, invoking the visualization function from the library, and providing a visual representation of at least a portion of the multi-dimensional data for display within the computing application using the visualization function.
Abstract:
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for remote rendering of computer graphics. The system includes a graphics application program resident at a remote server. The graphics application is invoked by a user or process located at a client. The invoked graphics application proceeds to issue graphics instructions. The graphics instructions are received by a remote rendering control system. Given that the client and server differ with respect to graphics context and image processing capability, the remote rendering control system modifies the graphics instructions in order to accommodate these differences. The modified graphics instructions are sent to graphics rendering resources, which produce one or more rendered images. Data representing the rendered images is written to one or more frame buffers. The remote rendering control system then reads this image data from the frame buffers. The image data is transmitted to the client for display or processing. In an embodiment of the system, the image data is compressed before being transmitted to the client. In such an embodiment, the steps of rendering, compression, and transmission can be performed asynchronously in a pipelined manner.

Abstract:
A primary data storage system is connected with a separate and external active archive storage system to consolidate data and allow active archive data to be managed based on primary storage system events. The primary data storage system may be managed and maintained by an external entity, and may include a manager module such as a resource manager. The active archive system may include several tiers of storage in a hierarchical storage system and logic for moving data between and among the tiers. As data processing milestones are completed or the state of data changes, in projects stored in the primary data storage system, task milestone or state change events are detected. Event detection can trigger data movement in the active archive solution. One or more software modules implementing the present invention may detect the events and trigger active archive operations based on the events.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for collecting failure/error history lists to identify and categorize erring memory locations in randomly accessible memory of a computer system. Method and apparatus consistent with the present disclosure may identify whether particular memory cells, rows of memory cells, or columns of memory cells within a memory device are associated with transient or persistent errors. These methods and apparatus may also avoid using portions of memory that have been associated with persistent errors or failures.
Abstract:
A system deploys visualization tools, business analytics software, and big data software in a multi-instance mode on a large, coherent shared memory many-core computing system. The single machine solution provides or high performance and scalability and may be implemented remotely as a large capacity server (i.e., in the cloud) or locally to a user. Most big data software running in a single instance mode has limitations in scalability when running on a many-core and large coherent shared memory system. A configuration and deployment technique using a multi-instance approach, which also includes visualization tools and business analytics software, maximizes system performance and resource utilization, reduces latency and provides scalability as needed, for end-user applications in the cloud.
Abstract:
Data state rollover is performed based on data state snapshots and deltas. A series of snapshots is taken of the current data state, an original data state, and data states in between. Deltas are then generated between two sequential snapshots. This results in numerous deltas which represent the difference between consecutive snapshots. Once the deltas are acquired, the deltas may be stored along with the snapshot of the present data state. As such, previous data states may be rolled back to by determining the number of deltas to apply to the current data state to achieve the desired previous data state. In cases where the rollback or rollover fails, deltas may be played against the current data state to a point where the last known trusted and working data point existed.
Abstract:
A method and computer program product for testing a high performance computing application performing a computation within a clustered computer arrangement is disclosed. The high performance computing arrangement performances computations across processors in parallel wherein the processors cooperate to perform the computation. The application can be tested by adding delay and therefore latency to one or more commands inside of the precompiled application. The addition of delay can be used to simulate the performance of different interconnects that are used within the high performance computing arrangement.
