Patent number: 9674091Abstract: A method and system for detecting congestion in a network of nodes, abating the network congestion, and identifying the cause of the network congestion is provided. A congestion detection system may comprise a detection system, an abatement system, and a causation system. The detection system monitors the performance of network components such as the network interface controllers and tiles of routers to determine whether the network is congested such that a delay in delivering packets becomes unacceptable. Upon detecting that the network is congested, an abatement system abates the congestion by limiting the rate at which packets are injected into the network from the nodes. Upon detecting that the network is congested, a causation system may identify the job that is executing on a node that is the cause of the network congestion.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2016Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: Cray Inc.Inventors: Laurence S. Kaplan, Edwin Lloyd Froese, Christopher Brian Johns, Matthew Paul Kelly, Aaron Forest Godfrey, Brent Thomas Shields

Patent number: 6959342Abstract: A distributed computer system and a method for replicating data in a distributed computer system. The system includes a plurality of processing nodes. A processing node comprises at least one processor and at least one local memory, where the local memory is in communication with each processing node. The system also includes maintenance software to determine whether data is read substantially more frequently than it is written and to replicate the data that is read substantially more frequently than it is written among the plurality of processing nodes. The method includes reviewing classes of data, identifying whether at least a portion of data of a certain class used by the processing nodes is read substantially more frequently than it is written and replicating copies of the data of that class in the local memories.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2003Date of Patent: October 25, 2005Assignee: Cray, Inc.Inventors: Stephan Kurt Gipp, Aaron Forest Godfrey
