Patent number: 11803411Abstract: An illustrative “Live Synchronization” feature in a data storage management system can reduce the downtime that arises in failover situations. The illustrative Live Sync embodiment uses backup data to create and maintain a ready (or “warm”) virtualized computing platform comprising one or more virtual machines (“VMs”) that are configured and ready to be activated and take over data processing from another data processing platform operating in the production environment. The “warm” computing platform awaits activation as a failover solution for the production system(s) and can be co-located at the production data center, or configured at a remote or disaster recovery site, which in some embodiments is configured “in the cloud.” Both local and remote illustrative embodiments are discussed herein. An “incremental forever” approach can be combined with deduplication and synthetic full backups to speed up data transfer and update the disaster recovery sites.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2021Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Commvault Systems, Inc.Inventors: Henry Wallace Dornemann, Ajay Venkat Nagrale, Rahul S.

Patent number: 11782816Abstract: Mapping input locations to enable execution of second executable code using trace data gathered during execution of first executable code. A trace of a prior execution of the first code, and the second code, are accessed. The trace stores data of an input that was consumed by first executable instructions of the first code. It is determined that the stored data of the input is usable as an input to second executable instructions of the second code. A difference in how the first instructions accessed the input during recording, as compared to how the second instructions expect to access input, is identified. Based on the identified difference, a location transformation is determined that would enable the second instructions to access the stored data. Execution of the second instructions is emulated using the stored data, including projecting the location transformation to enable the second instructions to access the stored data.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2019Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Jens C.

Patent number: 11775351Abstract: A method for processing data on a programmable logic controller includes a priority with a predetermined priority level assigned to at least one parallel processing section of a program of a master-processor core of a control task. Respective priority levels are inserted into a data structure as the respective master-processor core arrives at the parallel processing section. A parallel-processor core examines whether entries are present in the data structure and processes partial tasks from a work package of the master-processor core the priority level of which ranks first among the entries. A real-time condition of the control task is met by setting executing times of the programs for the master-processor core so that the master-processor core is capable of processing the partial tasks from the work packages without being supported by the parallel-processor core. The master-processor core further processes partial tasks not processed by the at least one parallel-processor core.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2018Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Beckhoff Automation GmbHInventor: Robin Vogt
