Patent number: 6330238Abstract: The present invention relates to a multicast transmission method which is capable of realizing a multicast function while maintaining the independence of each of nodes concurrently with minimizing the traffic on a communication network. In the multicast transmission method according to this invention, a data transmitting node, in which a multicast transmission request occurs, adds a multicast address to a data send message and then broadcasts the data send message plus multicast address to all the nodes, while each of the nodes receiving the multicast address refers to its own multicast table to decide whether or not a multicast address coincident with the received multicast address exists in the multicast table.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 1998Date of Patent: December 11, 2001Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventor: Kazuichi Ooe

Patent number: 5978803Abstract: The invention provides an information retrieval system wherein, even when a plurality of data bases are retrieved simultaneously, information retrieval can be performed at a high speed without necessity for special hardware and without being influenced by the magnitudes of the data bases of a retrieval object. The information retrieval system includes a plurality of retrieval servers for performing retrieval processing, and a retrieval management server for managing operation of the plurality of retrieval servers. The retrieval management server is constructed so as to divide a data base of a retrieval object and relating information regarding the data base and allocate resulting divided parts of the data base and the relating information corresponding to the divided parts in sets to some or all of the plurality of retrieval servers.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 1996Date of Patent: November 2, 1999Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventor: Kazuichi Ooe

Patent number: 5901328Abstract: A memory protection setting unit sets a protection area in a multiport memory provided with two ports, that is, port A and port B. The CPU accesses the multiport memory through port A. At this time, an area other than the protection area can be accessed. The CPU transmits data to an external device through a transfer control device. The transfer control device accesses the multiport memory through port B. Only the protection area can be accessed at this time. Upon receipt of a request from the CPU, the transfer control device writes data received from the external device to the protection area and reads data to be sent to the external device from the protection area. Protection is removed by the memory protection setting unit from the protection area where data is read or written by the transfer control device.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1997Date of Patent: May 4, 1999Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventor: Kazuichi Ooe

Patent number: 5778445Abstract: In a memory, a program for internal control such as temperature compensation and calibration of a disk device and a program for scheduling the transfer timing and transfer size and effecting the control of data stream transfer between a computer and the disk device according to the scheduling are stored as firmware. A CPU controls a timer interrupting section, disk interface driver and internal interface driver according to the program to attain the internal control of the disk device and data transfer between the computer and the disk device. The timer interrupting section permits data transfer according to the scheduling by previously setting the interrupting timing by the CPU and generating an interruption according to the thus set timing.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 1995Date of Patent: July 7, 1998Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Kazuichi Ooe, Satoshi Inano

Patent number: 5761498Abstract: In a file system for use with a parallel computer, a file access system is provided. When a host computer opens a file, it can see it as one file. When each system opens a file, it can see the file as a local file. A substance is stored as one file in a secondary memory. However, in an open mode, each cell can see a required portion.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 1995Date of Patent: June 2, 1998Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Kazuichi Ooe, Satosi Inano

Patent number: 5737743Abstract: A disk block controller and file system support large extended files by using special logical blocks which contain a number of sequential physical disk blocks. The disk block controller includes a file creation support unit, an extended management unit, a first and second management units, and an allocation unit. The file creation support unit separates free physical disk blocks into a region with a small number of sequential empty physical disk block spaces and a region with a large number of sequential empty physical disk block spaces, and allocates these regions to different parts of the disk. The extended management unit manages a start and sequential block numbers for sequential empty physical disk blocks having specified entries and is utilized for extended files whose logical block size is an integral multiple of a physical block.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1995Date of Patent: April 7, 1998Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Kazuichi Ooe, Kazuto Kamimura
