    Abstract: The health of a process is monitored in a computer system by a process monitor. The monitored process (a configuration management system daemon (CMSD)) is not a child of the process monitor. The process monitor uniquely determines the identity of a monitored process and verifies the correct operation of the monitored process. In the absence of verification of the correct operation of the monitored process, the monitored process is caused to initiate. On successful initiation of the monitored process, the monitored process is uniquely identified to the system and is detached from the process monitor. Each monitored process is arranged to write, on initiation, its unique process identification information (PID) to a file, which file is then accessed by the process monitor to identify the process monitor. The process monitor can interrogate the operating system to verify correct operation of the CMSD. As an alternative, the process monitor could test whether the CMSD is functioning by making service requests to the CMSD.

    Abstract: A processor is provided that implements a replay mechanism to recover from soft errors. The processor includes a protected execution unit, a check unit to detect errors in results generated by the protected execution unit, and a replay unit to track selected instructions issued to the protected execution unit. When the check unit detects an error, it triggers the replay unit to reissue the selected instructions to the protected execution unit. One embodiment of the replay unit provides an instruction buffer that includes pointers to track issue and retirement status of in-flight instructions. When the check unit indicates an error, the replay unit resets a pointer to reissue the instruction for which the error was detected.

    Abstract: A stored program controlled electronic switching system provided with large capacity economical peripheral memory equipments, such as magnetic drums, in which a part of the basic memory content, not subject to high speed access time, is stored permanently and also continuously varying information is periodically copied for the purpose of backing up the random access main memory devices to decrease the number of the main memory devices. The switching system comprises data channel devices consisting of channel multiplexer and sub-channel equipment in order to obtain a standard interface scheme between the central control units and various input-output devices. The system further comprises fourwire type trunk link network to be controlled by the same central control units for obtaining wider system flexibility for the application of accommodating data switching facility, trunk switching facility, etc.
