Patent number: 10078565Abstract: Methods and circuits are disclosed for error recovery in redundant processing systems. Respective instances of a software program are executed in lockstep on redundant processing circuits. Using a control circuit, in response to detecting a non-fatal error, an interrupt is generated and non-functioning ones of the processing circuits are disabled. The interrupt is serviced using the functional processing circuits operating in lockstep. In servicing the interrupt, a processing state of the processing circuits is stored and a reset of the processing circuits is triggered. Following the reset, the processing circuits are configured to operate in lockstep. The state of the processing circuits is restored to the stored processing state and a return from the interrupt is signaled. In response to the signaled return from interrupt, execution of the software program is resumed on the processing circuits in lockstep at a point at which the non-fatal error was detected.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2016Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: XILINX, INC.Inventor: Leif Roland Petersson

Patent number: 10061744Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are disclosed for recovery in a virtualized environment using remote direct memory access (RDMA). In one embodiment, the method comprises operating a virtual computer system on a physical computer system, and the virtual system maintains in a memory area a record of a state of the virtual system. In this method, when defined error conditions occur on the virtual system, RDMA is used to pull the record of the state of the virtual system from that memory area onto a standby computer. This record on the standby computer is used to re-initialize the virtual computer. Embodiments of the invention provide methods that provide a very fast recovery from a virtual machine fault or error, while requiring much fewer resources than standard approaches. In embodiments of the invention, one spare real computer system can be used for backing up several virtual systems.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2015Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mohammad Banikazemi, John Alan Bivens, Michael R.

Patent number: 10042690Abstract: The present invention provides for monitoring data file transmissions to determine patterns in data file transmissions and determining issues in a current data file transmission by comparing information associated with the patterns to attributes associated with the current data file transmission. In response to determining issues, dynamic alerts are generated and communicated to designated parties that notify the designated parties of the issues and prompt remedial actions. The present invention is able to monitor events that occur prior to data transmission (i.e., pipeline events) and, when such events are determined, through comparison of the patterns of attributes, to be abnormal or identify a fault, alerts may be generated and actions taken to eliminate or lessen the delay in the subsequent data transmission (i.e., adhere to predetermined data transmission timing requirements).Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2016Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventors: Manu Jacob Kurian, Paul Grayson Roscoe
