  • Patent number: 10592296
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product that allows for maintaining correct states of all sub-components in a state machine, even as sub-components leave the state machine and later rejoin in some previous state. Preferably, this is achieved without requiring the system to remember the states of all sub-components or a log of every event that was fed into the state machine. Thus, the technique does not require any knowledge of the previous state of the sub-components nor the need to preserve a complete log of events that were fed into the state machine. The state machine may be used to enhance the operation of a technological process, such as a workload management environment.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6425014
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided which provide connection information about connections to communication protocol stacks in a cluster of data processing systems by distributing location information between communication protocol stacks in a group of stacks within the cluster. The distributed location information about addresses and operating system images or data processing systems of communication protocol stacks is utilized to generate a list of addresses corresponding to stacks in the group so that this information may be provided to applications requesting the information from the communication protocol stacks.
