Abstract: Systems and methods for routing activity information related to objects in an external application to activity feeds associated with users in a collaboration group are disclosed. When activity information is received, it is routed to collaboration group feeds and user feeds based on a set of routing tables. The routing tables associated objects with events, containers, collaboration groups, and finally users. Based on the routing tables, users who belong to a collaboration groups that are associated with a particular object may see the activity information about that object rendered in an activity feed if the external application grants them permission to access the object. Accordingly, security associated with the object in the external application can be maintained when event information about that object is shared in an activity feed in a collaboration system.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for reducing load time of a program in a highly-parallelized or distributed computer. In one embodiment, this is accomplished by selectively reusing entries in a page table generated during a previous invocation of the program at a particular compute node of the highly-parallelized or distributed computer system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus improves the block allocation time in a parallel computer system. A pre-load controller pre-loads blocks of hardware in a supercomputer cluster in anticipation of demand from a user application. In the preferred embodiments the pre-load controller determines when to pre-load the compute nodes and the block size to allocate the nodes based on pre-set parameters and previous use of the computer system. Further, in preferred embodiments each block of compute nodes in the parallel computer system has a stored hardware status to indicate whether the block is being pre-loaded, or already has been pre-loaded. In preferred embodiments, the hardware status is stored in a database connected to the computer's control system. In other embodiments, the compute nodes are remote computers in a distributed computer system.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that, in an embodiment, receive a license to a number of resources in a cluster. The licensed resources may be activated and deactivated at any computer system in the cluster, so long as the number of active resources in the cluster is less than or equal to the number of licensed resources to the cluster. In this way, if a resource or a computer system containing resources in the cluster fails, the licensee may still use other licensed resources up to the number of licensed resources.
