  • Patent number: 10284488
    Abstract: Aggregate socket resource management is presented herein. A system can comprise a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising: determining a present aggregate amount of data associated with processing requests from a socket; setting a defined aggregate data limit on the present aggregate amount of data; and in response to determining changes in a difference between the defined aggregate data limit and the present aggregate amount of data, modifying a defined data capacity limit on a data capacity of a receive buffer of the socket. In an example, the determining of the changes in the difference between the defined aggregate data limit and the present aggregate amount of data comprises reducing/increasing the defined data capacity limit in response to the difference being determined to be decreasing/increasing.

  • Patent number: 10262000
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for globally appending data from a group of distributed processes to a shared file using a log-structured file system. Data generated by a plurality of processes in a parallel computing system are appended to a shared file by storing the data to the shared file using a log-structured file system (such as a Parallel Log-Structured File System (PLFS)); and generating an index entry for the data, the index entry comprising a logical offset entry and a timestamp entry indicating a time of the storage, wherein the logical offset entry is resolved at read time. The logical offset entry can be populated with an append placeholder that is resolved when the shared file is read. At read time, a plurality of the index entries associated with the shared file can be sorted using the timestamp entry to deliver the requested shared file to a requesting application.

  • Patent number: 10237341
    Abstract: A method for providing load balancing for a server cluster using a server dormant mode. Client devices are allowed to conduct transactions with servers when the servers are active. However, the servers are not allowed to accept new transactions in a dormant mode. Thus, an overloaded server can be placed into the dormant mode until the server is no longer overloaded. Loads will be redistributed among other active servers in the cluster while a server is in the dormant mode.

  • Patent number: 10235053
    Abstract: Example embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for directing I/Os for a chunk of data to a data storage system on which the chunk of data is stored. The host method includes receiving an I/O for a chunk of data, identifying to which data storage system the I/O should be sent to access the chunk of data, and sending the I/O for the chunk of data to the identified data storage system. Other example embodiments of the present invention relate to a method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for handling received I/Os during a migration of the chunk of data. The data storage system method includes migrating the chunk of data, queuing an I/O for the chunk of data received from a host during the migration, and rejecting the queued I/O as a result of the migration.

  • Patent number: 10078474
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of updating a list of available scratchfiles at a node accessing a filesystem includes determining whether the node should update the list of available scratchfiles on the filesystem. If the node should update the list of available scratchfiles of the filesystem, the method updates the list of available scratchfiles on the filesystem. In one embodiment, the method may determine whether the list of available scratchfiles on the filesystem should be updated by determining whether another node is currently updating its scratch list for the filesystem. If it is not, then the method may further determine whether the filesystem has added a scratch volume since a previous update of the list of available scratchfiles at the node.

  • Patent number: 10055422
    Abstract: De-duplicating results of queries of data repositories is described. A system associates each data object of the first set of duplicate data objects stored by multiple data repositories with a first unique duplicate set identifier, and each data object of the second set of duplicate data objects stored by the multiple data repositories with a second unique duplicate set identifier. The system identifies a first data object of the first set of duplicate data objects and a second data object of the first set of duplicate data objects in response to a query. The system determines that the first data object is associated with the first unique duplicate set identifier, and that the second data object is also associated with the first unique duplicate set identifier. The system outputs a query result that includes only the first data object.
