20090199191 - Notification to task of completion of gsm operations by initiator node: In a global shared memory (GSM) environment, a method provides local notification of completion of a global shared memory (GSM) operation processed by a first task executing at a local node of the distributed system. The system includes multiple nodes on which different tasks of a single job execute and... Agent: Dillon & Yudell LLP

20090199196 - Automatic baselining of resource consumption for transactions: An application monitoring system determines the health of one or more resources used to process a transaction, business application, or other computer process. Performance data is generated in response to monitoring application execution and processed to determine and an actual and baseline value for resource usage data. Resource usage baseline... Agent: Vierra Magen Marcus & Deniro LLP

20090199195 - Generating and issuing global shared memory operations via a send fifo: A method for issuing global shared memory (GSM) operations from an originating task on a first node coupled to a network fabric of a distributed network via a host fabric interface (HFI). The originating task generates a GSM command within an effective address (EA) space. The task then places the... Agent: Dillon & Yudell LLP

20090199194 - Mechanism to prevent illegal access to task address space by unauthorized tasks: A method and data processing system for tracking global shared memory (GSM) operations to and from a local node configured with a host fabric interface (HFI) coupled to a network fabric. During task/job initialization, the system OS assigns HFI window(s) to handle the GSM packet generation and GSM packet receipt... Agent: Dillon & Yudell LLP

20090199198 - Multinode server system, load distribution method, resource management server, and program product: A multinode server system including application execution means. The application execution means includes several servers mutually connected, each of which processes one mesh obtained by dividing a virtual space. The virtual space is displayed as the result of processing of each mesh by the several servers. Resource management means detects... Agent: Ibm Corporation, T.j. Watson Research Center

20090199192 - Resource scheduling apparatus and method: Embodiments of the invention utilise a selection criterion that enables actual location data to be used for scheduling of future work: this selection criterion is associated with the status of the resource in relation to progress with a given task, and can most appropriately be identified on the basis of... Agent: Wagner Blecher LLP

20090199193 - System and method for managing a hybrid compute environment: Disclosed are systems, hybrid compute environments, methods and computer-readable media for dynamically provisioning nodes for a workload. In the hybrid compute environment, each node communicates with a first resource manager associated with the first operating system and a second resource manager associated with a second operating system. The method includes... Agent: Novak Druce + Quigg LLP

20090199197 - Wake-and-go mechanism with dynamic allocation in hardware private array: A wake-and-go mechanism is provided for a data processing system. When a thread is waiting for an event, rather than performing a series of get-and-compare sequences, the thread updates a wake-and-go array with a target address associated with the event. The wake-and-go mechanism may save the state of the thread... Agent: Ibm Corp. (wip) C/o Walder Intellectual Property Law, P.C.

20090199199 - Backup procedure with transparent load balancing: In an embodiment of the invention, an apparatus and method provides a backup procedure with transparent load balancing. The apparatus and method perform acts including: performing a preamble phase in order to determine if a file will be backed up from an agent to a portal; and applying a chunking... Agent: Hewlett Packard Company

20090199200 - Mechanisms to order global shared memory operations: A method and data processing system for performing fence operations within a global shared memory (GSM) environment having a local task executing on a processor and providing GSM commands for processing by a host fabric interface (HFI) window that is allocated to the task. The HFI window has one or... Agent: Dillon & Yudell LLP

20090199201 - Mechanism to provide software guaranteed reliability for gsm operations: In a global shared memory (GSM) environment, an initiating task at a first node with a host fabric interface (HFI) uses epochs to provide reliability of transmission of packets via a network fabric to a target task. The HFI generates a packet for the initiating task addressed to the target... Agent: Dillon & Yudell LLP
