  • Patent number: 9547526
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for dispatching a function call includes receiving, at a supervisor processing element (PE) and from an origin PE, an identifier of a target device, a stack frame of the origin PE, and an address of a function called from the origin PE. The supervisor PE allocates a target PE of the target device. The supervisor PE copies the stack frame of the origin PE to a new stack frame on a call stack of the target PE. The supervisor PE instructs the target PE to execute the function. The supervisor PE receives a notification that execution of the function is complete. The supervisor PE copies the stack frame of the target PE to the stack frame of the origin PE. The supervisor PE releases the target PE of the target device. The supervisor PE instructs the origin PE to resume execution of the program.

  • Patent number: 9122513
    Abstract: A graph analytics appliance can be employed to extract data from a graph database in an efficient manner. The graph analytics appliance includes a router, a worklist scheduler, a processing unit, and an input/output unit. The router receives an abstraction program including a plurality of parallel algorithms for a query request from an abstraction program compiler residing on computational node or the graph analytics appliance. The worklist scheduler generates a prioritized plurality of parallel threads for executing the query request from the plurality of parallel algorithms. The processing unit executes multiple threads selected from the prioritized plurality of parallel threads. The input/output unit communicates with a graph database.

  • Publication number: 20140136555
    Abstract: A query on a graph database can be efficiently performed employing a combination of an abstraction program and a graph analytics appliance. The abstraction program is generated from a query request employing an abstraction program compiler residing on a computational node, and includes programming instructions for performing parallel operations on graph data. The graph analytics appliance receives or generates the abstraction program, and runs the abstraction program on data fetched from a graph database to generate filtered data that is less than the fetched data. The filtered data is returned to the computational node. The bandwidth between the graph database and the graph analytic engine can be greater than the bandwidth between the computational node and the graph analytic engine in order to utilize processing capacity of the graph analytics appliance.
