  • Patent number: 12282662
    Abstract: One aspect of the application can provide a system and method for replacing a failing node with a spare node in a non-uniform memory access (NUMA) system. During operation, in response to determining that a node-migration condition is met, the system can initialize a node controller of the spare node such that accesses to a memory local to the spare node are to be processed by the node controller, quiesce the failing node and the spare node to allow state information of processors on the failing node to be migrated to processors on the spare node, and subsequent to unquiescing the failing node and the spare node, migrate data from the failing node to the spare node while maintaining cache coherence in the NUMA system and while the NUMA system remains in operation, thereby facilitating continuous execution of processes previously executed on the failing node.

  • Publication number: 20240345857
    Abstract: A first hypervisor running on a first processor cluster is provided. During operation, the first hypervisor can determine a first set of processing nodes and a first memory unit of the first processor cluster in response to the booting up of a first Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) of the first processor cluster. The first hypervisor can discover a second hypervisor running on a second processor cluster comprising a second set of processing nodes and a second memory unit. The first hypervisor can operate, with the second hypervisor, a distributed system comprising the first and second sets of processing nodes and the first and second memory units. The first hypervisor can then operate, with the second hypervisor, a global virtual machine on the distributed system. The virtual memory space of the global virtual machine can be mapped to respective memory spaces of the first and second processor clusters.

  • Publication number: 20230325867
    Abstract: A method implemented on an electronic computing device includes receiving a request for an automated teller machine (ATM) transaction from an ATM. Authentication credentials are received of a customer of the ATM. The authentication credentials are associated with the request for the ATM transaction. A notification is received of a failure to execute the ATM transaction at the ATM. In response to the receiving a notification of the failure, a fee modification is issued to the customer of the ATM. The fee modification permits modification of a transaction fee associated with a subsequent ATM transaction at an alternative ATM.

  • Patent number: 11188480
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for addressing die are inefficiencies associated with the use of redundant ternary content-addressable memory (TCAM) for facilitating error detection and correction. Only a portion of redundant TCAMs (or portions of the same TCAM) are reserved for modified coherency directory cache entries, while remaining portions are available for unmodified coherency directory cache entries. The amount of space reserved for redundant, modified coherency directory cache entries can be programmable and adaptable.

  • Patent number: 9122816
    Abstract: A high performance computing system is provided with an ASIC that communicates with another device in the system according to a protocol defined by the other device. The ASIC is coupled to a reconfigurable protocol table, in the form of a high speed content-addressable memory (“CAM”). The CAM includes instructions to control the execution of the protocol by the ASIC. The CAM may include instructions to control the ASIC in the event that unanticipated signals or other errors are encountered while executing the protocol. Internal ASIC state data may be routed to the CAM to permit the ASIC to generate a reasonable response to errors either in the design or fabrication of the ASIC or the device with which it is communicating.
