  • Patent number: 10713654
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable storage medium configured for a transactional database management system shared by all computing nodes participating in a system based on a blockchain protocol. The transactional database management system includes transactions and blocks, where the transactions are data to be stored in the blockchain and the blocks are records that confirm when and in what sequence certain transaction became journaled as part of the blockchain. A request is received signed with a signature of a user system to include a new transaction with additional data in the blockchain. In response to the signature being verified and hash of batches of receive transaction into the block being verified. The block are added that records the new transaction with additional data in the blockchain using within the transactional database management system.

  • Patent number: 10255108
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable storage medium for accessing a data file shared by all computing nodes participating in a system based on a blockchain protocol. The data file includes transactions and blocks. The transactions are data to be stored in the blockchain and the blocks are records that confirm when and in what sequence certain transaction became journaled as part of the blockchain. A request is received to include a plurality of transactions each with additional data as a new block on the blockchain. Criteria that includes a settable period of time or a settable number of transactions received is used to determine how many transactions go into a new block. A directed acyclic graph (DAG) is accessed that is constructed based on inter-dependencies among the transactions. The transactions for the new block are divided into a set of two or more independent tasks that can be executed in parallel based on the DAG. The independent tasks that can be managed independently are executed.

  • Patent number: 7613888
    Abstract: A data storage system writes data supplied from a host to data storage in accordance with write I/O of an owning application. A workload manager directs the processing of the supplied data in accordance with the write I/O of the owning application, provides service workload identification describing the write I/O, a storage subsystem control adds the service workload identification to record set information for the data, and a journal management system stores the record set information in a journal. The journaled information, for example, may be employed for performing forensic analysis of data corruption events or to perform security audits, etc.
