Publication number: 20150163162Abstract: Embodiments relate to a software-defined networking (SDN) single-source enterprise workload manager. An aspect includes a system for SDN single-source enterprise workload management. A network flow graph of a workload is received at an SDN controller in an enterprise network from a workload compiler of the enterprise network. The network flow graph defines interactions between a plurality of subprograms distributed in the enterprise network based on compile-time information of the workload. The SDN controller analyzes the network flow graph to identify the interactions between the subprograms as prompts. The SDN controller allocates network resources to define a plurality of flows through the enterprise network based on the prompts and characteristics of the enterprise network. Network traffic in the enterprise network is controlled based on the flows.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2013Publication date: June 11, 2015Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Casimer M.

Patent number: 9025614Abstract: Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) tunneling over Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) networks. The CEE networks comprise devices configured to use PCIe. An initiating device initiates a command. The command is associated with initiator control signals, which are associated with the initiating device. The initiating device requests permission from an arbiter, and receives a request grant from the arbiter. Based on the request grant, a mapping device maps the initiator control signals, an target device address, and the command into a CEE control frame. Based on the mapping, the initiating device transmits an inquiry to the devices. Based on transmitting the inquiry, the initiating device receives a response from a corresponding device. The corresponding device is associated with the target device address. The response comprises target control signals associated with the corresponding device.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2013Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Casimer M DeCusati, Rajaram B Krishnamurthy

Patent number: 9019975Abstract: Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) tunneling over Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) bus. An initiating device, connected to a CEE network, initiates a command. An encoding device encodes a CEE frame comprising the command, target device address, initiator signals, and an address of a CEE switch closest to the target device, connected to a PCIe network. The initiating device transmits an inquiry to the CEE switch through the CEE frame. The CEE switch comprises an address table with an entry specifying a generic PCIe device. The CEE switch is configured to convert the CEE frame into PCIe readable signals and to transmit them to PCIe devices. The initiating device receives a response indicating a PCIe acknowledgement from a corresponding device from the PCIe devices. The corresponding device is associated with the target device address. Based on the response, the initiating device initiates a transaction to the corresponding device through CEE frames.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2013Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Casimer M DeCusatis, Rajaram B Krishnamurthy

Publication number: 20150078170Abstract: Embodiments relate to bypassing congestion points in a network. An aspect includes sampling queues of a plurality of switches in a network. When packet congestion is detected at a congestion point of a first switch, the packet flow contributing to the packet congestion is identified. A congestion notification message indicating the identified packet flow is then propagated to upstream switches, which are upstream from the first switch in the network. The congestion notification message is then snooped by the upstream switches. Virtual queues within the upstream switches are associated with the identified packet flow to hold packets associated with the identified packet flow. The packets associated with the identified packet flow are then re-routed to bypass the packet congestion in the first switch.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2014Publication date: March 19, 2015Inventors: Nikolaos Chrysos, Daniel Crisan, Casimer M.
