Abstract: A two part process is used for modifying records to be written and retrieved from tape devices. A record is appended with a cyclic redundancy check and a string of zeros. Submitting the entire record to tape drives which are logical block protection enabled will result in no change. For drives that are not LBP enabled, the string of zeros at the end of the record is removed. In addition to determining whether a drive is LBP compliant, a determination may be made as to whether a drive is a linear tape open drive from a particular manufacturer. Linear tape open drives may behave similarly as drives which may not be enabled with logical block protection.

Abstract: A computer system with read/write access to storage devices creates a snapshot of a data volume at a point in time while continuing to accept access requests to the mirrored data volume by copying before making changes to the base data volume. Multiple snapshots may be made of the same data volume at different points in time. Only data that is not stored in a previous snapshot volume or in the base data volume are stored in the most recent snapshot volume.

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.

Abstract: The present technology may provide data visualization with the capability to interactively select the orientation of one or more axis used to display data. Data to be visualized is accessed by a data visualization application. The data may be structured or unstructured, filtered and analyzed. The accessed data may be displayed through an interface of the visualization application for a user. The coordinate system for displaying the data may also be displayed. A user may orient an axis of the coordinate system by providing input within a graphics portion of an interface rather than navigating to a control button or other portion of the interface provided by the visualization application. The input may be associated with a particular axis. For example, to move a particular axis from its current position to a vertical position, the axis may be selected within the graphical portion of the interface using a cursor.

Abstract: This innovation provides a method for a networked and replicated database management system (DBMS) using only one-sided remote direct memory access (RDMA). Replicated databases retain some access to the stored data in the face of server failure. In the prior state of the art, after the software in the DBMS on one of the servers acted on a client's request to update the database, it would contact the other replicas of the database and ensure that they had recorded the change, before responding to the client that the transaction was complete. This innovation describes a method whereby the database client directly interacts with each DBMS replica over the network using only RDMA to directly modify the stored data while maintaining the properties of database atomicity and consistency. This method reduces transactional latency by removing any need for the server DBMS software to respond to or forward requests for service.

Abstract translation: 该创新为仅使用单面远程直接存储器访问（RDMA）的联网和复制数据库管理系统（DBMS）提供了一种方法。 面对服务器故障，复制的数据库保留对存储数据的一些访问。 在现有技术中，在其中一台服务器上的DBMS中的软件作用于客户端更新数据库的请求后，它将联系数据库的其他副本，并确保它们在响应之前记录了更改 交易完成的客户端。 该创新描述了一种方法，数据库客户端通过网络直接与每个DBMS副本交互，只使用RDMA来直接修改存储的数据，同时保持数据库原子性和一致性的属性。 该方法通过消除对服务器DBMS软件响应或转发服务请求的任何需求来减少事务延迟。

Abstract: A system for deploying big data software in a multi-instance node. The optimal CPU memory and core configuration for a single instance database is determined. After determining an optimal core-memory ratio for a single instance execution, the software is deployed in multi-instance mode on single machine by applying the optimal core-memory ratio for each of the instances. The multi-instance database may then be deployed and data may be loaded in parallel for the instances.

Abstract: High performance computing systems perform complex or data-intensive calculations using a large number of computing nodes and a shared memory. Disclosed methods and systems provide nodes having a special-purpose coprocessor to perform these calculations, along with a general-purpose processor to direct the calculations. Computational data transfer from the shared memory to the coprocessor incurs a data copying latency. To reduce this latency as experienced by the coprocessor, a complex computation is divided into work units, and one or more threads executing on the processor copy the work units from the shared memory to a local buffer memory of a computing node. By buffering these data for transfer from the local memory to coprocessor memory, and by ensuring that new data are copied while the coprocessor operates on older data, data copying latency is hidden from the coprocessor.

Abstract: A high performance computing system and methods are disclosed. The system includes logical partitions with physically removable nodes that each have at least one processor, and memory that can be shared with other nodes. Node hardware may be removed or allocated to another partition without a reboot or power cycle. Memory sharing is tracked using a memory directory. Cache coherence operations on the memory directory include a test to determine whether a given remote node has been removed. If the remote node is not present, system hardware simulates a valid response from the missing node.
