Abstract: A method for managing an asset that includes identifying a relative location of a scheme, wherein the scheme is used to manage the asset, creating a relative Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) using the relative location, wherein the relative URI that includes at least one variable, and creating an entry in a native access interface definition, wherein the entry that includes the relative URI, wherein the native asset interface definition is bound to a data acquisition (DAQ) definition, and wherein the DAQ definition is an interface between a protocol handler and an information model, wherein managing the asset is performed using an actual URI to obtain management information, wherein the actual URI is obtained by replacing the at least one variable of the relative URI, and wherein the management information is transmitted to a management application.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for an asynchronous interconnection between nodes of a clustered database management system (DBMS). Node timestamps are provided when each of the nodes in the cluster are started. Two or more communication conduits are established between the nodes. Each communication conduit between a local node and a remote node has an associated session identifier. The session identifiers and the timestamp from the remote node are associated to each communication conduit and the associated local node in the cluster. A timestamp is received from the remote node at the local node when establishing communication to determine if the remote node corresponds to the remote node incarnation identified by the timestamp and if DBMS communication between nodes can be initiated.

Abstract: Network elements provide application-level QoS for application-layer messages processed therein. An application based message is examined upon IP reassembly thereof. Information is accessed about a sender of the message. A credential is assigned to the sender based on the sender information and/or a status validated for a device that sends said message. The message is dynamically prioritized in relation to other network traffic to provide application QoS based on the sender credential and/or the device status. The message priority is changeable on the fly according to the dynamically variable information. Sender information relates to a role or authority level associated therewith and is dynamically variable with respect to time, situation and/or circumstance. Thus, OSI Layer 5, 6, or 7 application message role/status based attributes determine how packets are marked with Layer 2, 3 or 4 QoS values, integrating application-level concepts of order and priority into network-layer QoS mechanisms.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamically mapping source video streams of sources to the requested destination video streams based on a policy are provided. The source video streams that are mapped to the destination video streams are changed based on events that cause changes in the mapping based on the policy. The mappings may be managed by a media switch remote from the end device or by an event aware stream router associated with the end device. The mappings are used to display images of participants associated with the source video streams where position changes in images displayed are minimized when events occur.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for using a cache that is embedded in a memory hub device to replace failed memory cells. A memory module comprises an integrated memory hub device. The memory hub device comprises an integrated memory device data interface that communicates with a set of memory devices coupled to the memory hub device and a cache integrated in the memory hub device. The memory hub device also comprises an integrated memory hub controller that controls the data that is read or written by the memory device data interface to the cache based on a determination whether one or more memory cells within the set of memory devices has failed.

Abstract: A download and data transfer gaming system utilizes a hybrid peer-to-peer, segmented file distribution protocol to vastly improve the download capabilities of a gaming system by improving the upload cost burdened by the download host. The system redistributes this cost to the download clients by allowing clients on the gaming system to upload pieces of a file to each other. This system is much more redundant by eliminating the possibility of a client missing a download broadcast. The system alleviates this possibility of missing packets and bad data integrity by using SHA-1 verification of the file pieces. The benefits of the improved bandwidth capabilities enable the download of much larger files, thus enhancing the game play experience.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for supporting agile run-time network systems via identification and execution of most efficient application binary code in view of changing network traffic conditions. Under one embodiment of the method, respective application binaries are compiled for each of a plurality of profiled system states for a network system, wherein each profiled system state corresponds to a respective workload scenario for the network system. During ongoing run-time operations, the current workload condition for the network system is monitored, and an application binary from amongst the multiple application binaries that is most efficient for the current workload condition is identified, loaded and executed.

Abstract: A method and system for enterprise memory management of memory modules of a computer system. The method includes scanning memory chips of a memory module for errors, analyzing a scrub error map corresponding to a scrubbing operation of the memory module, generating a scrub map summary based upon the scrub error map analyzed, creating an error history map by adding the scrub map summary generated, analyzing the error history map created and tracking a chip location for each memory chip of the memory module including errors, and determining a scrubbing algorithm of the memory module based on the analyzed error history map. The enterprise memory management system includes a plurality of computers each including memory modules, and an enterprise memory manager which collects and analyzes error history maps corresponding to each computer and determines a scrubbing algorithm of the memory modules of each computer.

Abstract: A server performance measurement system for efficiently measuring and collecting server performance differently depending on each business application in actual operation environment in which business applications are operated, includes a plurality of servers for processing requests from users, a load balancer for suitably distributing loads of the plurality of servers, a test management server computer and a test load control server computer, which can communicate with one another. The test management server computer includes a test start/end information processing unit, a server setting control unit, a test result information processing unit and a test result information management unit. The business application is operated in at least one of the plurality of servers to measure performance of the server.
