Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes to persist data as information. A logical container is created. The logical container is dynamically defined to correspond to a storage device. Original data or encoded data written by an application container is received. If original data is received, encoded data is generated from original data. If encoded data is received, original data is generated from encoded data. Generating encoded data from original data, and original data from encoded data involves calculating original metadata for original data, and encoded metadata for encoded data. Encoded data or original data along with original metadata and encoded metadata is transported through the logical container past a persistence boundary. In response to transporting past the persistence boundary, a confirmation is received original data has been persisted.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for aggregating information-asset metadata from multiple disparate data-management systems may include (1) receiving a first instance of metadata of an information asset from a first data-management system that manages information assets of an entity in a first domain, (2) receiving a second instance of metadata of the information asset from a second data-management system that manages the information assets of the entity in a second domain that is separate and distinct from the first domain, (3) storing the first and second instances of metadata in a global metadata repository that is separate and distinct from the first and second data-management systems, and (4) providing access to the first and second instances of metadata stored in the global metadata repository to the first data-management system, the second data-management system, and/or the entity. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of node translation for communicating over virtual channels in a clustered multiprocessor system using connection descriptors (CDs), which specify the endpoint nodes for virtual connections. The system includes a local processing element node, a remote processing element node and a network interconnect therebetween for sending communications between the processing element nodes. The method includes assigning a CD to specify an endpoint node for a virtual connection, defining a local connection table (LCT) to be accessed with the CD to produce a system node identifier (SNID) of the endpoint node, generating a communication request including the CD, accessing the LCT using the CD of that communication request to produce the SNID for the endpoint node of the connection in response to that request, and sending a memory request to the endpoint node.

Abstract: A method of performing remote address translation in a multiprocessor system includes determining a connection descriptor and a virtual address at a local node, accessing a local connection table at the local node using the connection descriptor to produce a system node identifier for a remote node and a remote address space number, communicating the virtual address and remote address space number to the remote node, and translating the virtual address to a physical address at the remote node (qualified by the remote address space number). A user process running at the local node provides the connection descriptor and virtual address. The translation is performed by matching the virtual address and remote address space number with an entry of a translation-lookaside buffer (TLB) at the remote node. Performing the translation at the remote node reduces the amount of translation information needed at the local node for remote memory accesses.
