Abstract: Solutions for reducing latencies in enterprise operations and business processes adaptation particularly as related to enriched publish and subscribe are proposed by the present invention. These solutions are implemented in a zero latency enterprise (ZLE) framework that allows the enterprise to integrate its services, applications and data in real time. Namely, an enterprise equipped to run as a ZLE is capable of integrating, in real time, its enterprise-wide data, applications, business transactions, operations and values. An operational data store operates as an information broker between the applications such that applications publish messages to the central repository and subscribe to messages from the central, rather than exchange request-response messages directly with each other. Thus, enriched publish and subscribe improves information synchronization between applications and reduce the number of request-response messages the applications would otherwise exchange.

Abstract: A framework, architecture, system and method are provided for reducing business transaction latencies thereby enabling an enterprise to run as a zero latency enterprise (ZLE). The present invention enables the enterprise to integrate its services, applications and data in real time. An enterprise running as a ZLE has a uniform global view of its past and current business transactions, including its customer interactions, internal business operations, supply chain management and more; and this uniform global view can be obtained from anywhere across the enterprise and be used for real-time decision making. Namely, an enterprise equipped to run as a ZLE is capable of integrating, in real time, its enterprise-wide data, applications, business transactions, operations and values. Consequently, an enterprise conducting its business as a ZLE exhibits superior management of its resources, operations and customer care.

Abstract: A computing environment (2) includes multiple CPUs (5a-c), multiple nonshared memory spaces and a means for implementing a select system call (10a-c).

Abstract: A distributed computing system environment includes multiple CPUs, multiple non-shared memory spaces and a means for implementing system calls and interprocess communications. The system is both fault-tolerant and scalable in that agents exist independently in each non-shared memory space to handle interprocess connections between memory spaces.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for presenting the multiple processors of a cluster as a single virtual host to a network wherein the processors are communicatively coupled among themselves and to a network interface. The network interface is communicatively coupled to the network. One of the processors is designated a primary parallel I/O processor. One address is advertised on said network for said multiple processors, and filter trees in the network interface direct the interface to forward packets from the network addressed to that address to the primary parallel I/O processor. Later, the filter tree is modified to direct the network interface to forward a specific subset of the packets directly to a particular processor.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for sorting and classifying communications frames received over a network prior to delivery, using a collection of filters arranged as a decision-making tree with destinations for the frames as the leaves of the tree.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for getting descriptors to data and passing the descriptors among data sources and sinks, thereby avoiding copying the data among the data sources and sinks. The data source/sink which consumes the data actual initiates the copying of the actual data itself, using global pointers to the data in the descriptors.
