    Abstract: To provide an approach to software update with scaleable disturbance there is proposed a state copying method for a computation system with at least two logic partitions wherein a state of new software in a standby partition (6, 16) is updated to the state of old software in an executing partition (16, 6) while continuing execution of the old software. Data is transferred from the executing partition to the standby partition in a scaleable way and as soon as the same state is achieved for the standby partition (6, 16) and the executing partition (16, 6) the execution is switched to the new software. This allows to scale the degree of disturbance due to the software update to what is deemed suitable.

    Abstract translation: 为了提供具有可缩放干扰的软件更新的方法,提出了一种用于具有至少两个逻辑分区的计算系统的状态复制方法,其中备用分区(6,16)中的新软件的状态被更新为旧软件的状态 在执行分区(16,6)中,同时继续执行旧软件。 数据以可扩展的方式从执行分区传输到备用分区,一旦达到待机分区(6,16)和执行分区(16,6)的相同状态,执行切换到新软件 。 这允许将由于软件更新而引起的干扰程度缩放到被认为合适的程度。

    Abstract: To improve the efficiency for an update process in a software processing device with a plurality of memory partitions (4, 14), it is proposed to continue the execution of old software on original data stored in a first memory partition (4) and to update new software and related data in a second memory partition (14). In case the same state for data of old and new software is achieved (S4), an instant switch of services to the new software as far as the same state is achieved (S5) takes place. This processing is repeated (S6) until no data to be transferred remains (S6) in the first memory partition. Thus, the present invention allows for a considerable improvement of the update efficiency with reduced disturbances during data transfer.

    Abstract: To achieve a highly efficient update of software in computer based systems, there is provided a software processing system comprising two partitions (A, B) that are connected through a linking means (24). The two partitions (A, B) are adapted to update a state of new software in one memory means (12) to the sate of old software in the other memory means (32) during the execution of the old software. In particular, the transfer of data from old software to new software is supported by a data conversions support device (50) adapted to output the start address of a conversion program being related to a data variable to be converted.

    Abstract: To achieve a highly efficient upgrade of software in computer based systems a message conversion apparatus (34) comprises an interface unit (36) for message conversion information (MCI) describing at least one message being exchanged in a software processing system before and after an upgrade of the software processing system. Also, a message conversion means (38, 40) is provided to convert the message between old and new representation for the upgraded software processing system in compliance with the specifications given in the message conversion information (MCI). Therefore, it is possible to introduce a disturbance free upgrade of software in computer based systems with minimized system downtime.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an access means for determining the storage address of a predetermined data value in a memory device. The data values are stored in an increasing order sequentially in a column direction according to a binary tree data structure. A new subtree root node is calculated from the previous leaf node address when the data value to be searched is not located in the previous subtree. Since a new subtree root node is always calculated from a previous leaf node address and the comparison result between the searched and read out value, the number of row address changes can be kept to a minimum whilst a high speed for the subtree searching is maintained. The search method and the access means is memory efficient since no pointers are used and fast, since the address of a next memory location to be investigated can always be calculated from the previous address and the last comparison result.
