Abstract:
One or more embodiments may provide a method for performing a replay. The method includes initiating execution of a program, the program having a plurality of sets of instructions, and each set of instructions has a number of chunks of instructions. The method also includes intercepting, by a virtual machine unit executing on a processor, an instruction of a chunk of the number of chunks before execution. The method further includes determining, by a replay module executing on the processor, whether the chunk is an active chunk, and responsive to the chunk being the active chunk, executing the instruction.
Abstract:
A data object may be moved from a source data store to a destination data store via replication. The replication is initiated when an original data object in a source data store that is capable of being both read from and being written to is read. Following the read, the original data object is then duplicated to a destination data store. The duplicate data object is provided with a state that indicates the duplicate object is duplicated from the source data store and can be read but cannot accept a data write. Subsequently, the state of the original data object is changed to can be read but cannot be written to using optimistic locking. Further, the state of the duplicate data object is also modified to being capable of both read from and written to with the use of optimistic locking. The replication is completed with the deletion of the original data object from the source data store.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method, computer program product, and activity recording system for identifying idleness in a processor via a concurrent software environment. A thread state indicator records an indication of a synchronization state of a software thread that is associated with an identification of the software thread. A time profiler identifies a processor of the computer system being idle and records an indication that the processor is idle. A dispatch monitor identifies a dispatch of the software thread to the processor. In response to the dispatch monitor determining the indication identifies that the processor is idle and the indication of a synchronization state of the software thread indicating the software thread ceases to execute in the processor, the dispatch monitor generates a record attributing the idleness of the processor to the software thread and the indicated synchronization state.
Abstract:
A method for distributing IO load in a RAID storage system is disclosed. The RAID storage system may include a plurality of RAID volumes and a plurality of processors. The IO load distribution method may include determining whether the RAID storage system is operating in a write-through mode or a write-back mode; distributing the IO load to a particular processor selected among the plurality of processors when the RAID storage system is operating in the write-through mode, the particular processor being selected based on a number of available resources associated with the particular processor; and distributing the IO load among the plurality of processors when the RAID storage system is operating in the write-back mode, the distribution being determined based on: an index of a data stripe, and a number of processors in the plurality of processors.
Abstract:
A storage system 1 includes a first storage apparatus 100 and a second storage apparatus 100 communicatively coupled to an external apparatus 300. The first and second storage apparatuses respectively have first and second storage areas VDEVs selectively accessible from the external apparatus, first and second temporary storage areas 113, and remote copy controllers 1122 configured to control data copy process. The storage system includes a data I/O process authority information storage unit LDK storing data I/O process authority information. Either of the remote copy controllers reads the data I/O process authority information and copies according to the data I/O process authority information, to the other storage apparatus, data stored either in the first storage area and the first temporary storage area, or in the second storage area and the second temporary storage area that are included in the storage apparatus to which the remote copy controller belongs.
Abstract:
In one exemplary embodiment, a DSM is used to store the data structures in a cluster shared memory, such that updates, deletions and insertions are applied to both the persistent data set and the DSM, and search, list and retrieval operations are processed directly from the DSM. A data structure in the persistent data set is stored in two separate DSM pages: a first page includes an identifying search key of the data structure, the search key also pointing to a location of the data structure in the storage. A second page includes the updatable properties of the data structure. A DSM storing the data structures' pages is organized as a two-row matrix.

Abstract:
A system and method for managing shared resources is disclosed. The system includes a primary coherency processing unit which processes lock requests from a plurality of data processing hosts, the primary coherency processing unit also storing a first current lock state information for the plurality of data processing hosts, the first current lock state information including a plurality of locks held by the plurality of data processing hosts. The system further includes a standby coherency processing unit storing fewer locks than the primary coherency processing unit, the locks stored by the standby coherency processing unit being a subset of locks included in the first current lock state information, the standby coherency unit configured to perform a plurality of activities of the primary coherency processing unit using the subset of locks in response to a failure of the primary coherency processing unit.
