Abstract: The present invention relates to a temporal base method of mutual exclusion control of a shared resource. The invention will usually be implemented by a plurality of host computers sharing a shared resource where each host computer will read a reservation memory that is associated with the shared resource. Typically a first host computer will perform and initial read of the reservation memory and when the reservation memory indicates that the shared resource is available, the first host computer will write to the reservation memory. After a time delay, the host computer will read the reservation memory again to determine whether it has won access to the resource. The first host computer may determine that it has won access to the shared resource by checking that data in the reservation memory includes an identifier corresponding to the first host computer.

Abstract: In high performance computing, the potential compute power in a data center will scale to and beyond a billion-billion calculations per second (“Exascale” computing levels). Limitations caused by hierarchical memory architectures where data is temporarily stored in slower or less available memories will increasingly limit high performance computing systems from approaching their maximum potential processing capabilities. Furthermore, time spent and power consumed copying data into and out of a slower tier memory will increase costs associated with high performance computing at an accelerating rate. New technologies, such as the novel Zero Copy Architecture disclosed herein, where each compute node writes locally for performance, yet can quickly access data globally with low latency will be required. The result is the ability to perform burst buffer operations and in situ analytics, visualization and computational steering without the need for a data copy or movement.

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: 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: Various embodiments improve the operation of computers by providing methods of transmitting data with low latency and high bandwidth. Data may be transmitted in a packet composed of data flits, the data flits having at least two different formats configured to implement different communication protocols. In some embodiments, a given flit may be transmitted using two different modulation methods, with a first part of the flit transmitted using a first modulation method, such as a binary method, and a second part of the flit using a higher-order modulation method.

Abstract: Error data is read from error registers and written into a buffer. A computing node uses a BIOS to read the error data, rearm the error register and write the data into a memory mapped buffer. A hub chip supports creation of a shared memory system of computing nodes. A management controller in the computing node extracts error data from the buffer. The error data preferably consists essentially of the error register identifiers and the contents of the error registers. A system management node receives the error data from the management controllers in the computing nodes. The system management node may be coupled to but separate from the computing nodes.

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.
