Georgette L. Kurdt has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11327785
    Abstract: A computing system includes an application configured to request execution of at least one translation including at least one command. A first coupling facility is configured to perform a first modification process to modify a first structure based on a received command associated with an ongoing transaction. A second coupling facility includes a secondary circular queue loaded with first data blocks indicating the first modification process, and is configured to output a message response block (MRB). The application determines a most recent modification process performed by the secondary coupling facility based on the MRB.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20200045108
    Abstract: A coupling facility is coupled to one or more other coupling facilities via one or more peer links. The coupling of the facilities enables various functions to be supported, including the duplexing of structures of the coupling facilities. Duplexing is performed on a structure basis, and thus, a coupling facility may include duplexed structures, as well as non-duplexed or simplexed structures.

  • Patent number: 10310921
    Abstract: A computing system is configured to maintain equivalency of independent structures located in different coupling facilities. The computing system includes a first coupling facility and a second coupling facility different from the first coupling facility. The first coupling facility includes a first structure that receives a first data modification based on a modification command requested by an application executed by an operating system. The second coupling facility in signal communication with the first coupling facility and includes a secondary structure that receives a second data modification based on the first data modification applied to the first structure. The first coupling facility outputs a Push List Structure Object (PLSO) command data block to the second coupling facility. The PLSO command data block indicates the first data modification applied to the first structure.

  • Patent number: 7099935
    Abstract: Heuristics are employed to dynamically determine whether a given request is to be driven synchronously or asynchronously. The average synchronous service time associated with previously processed requests is monitored and used, in real-time, along with other information, to determine whether the given request is to be driven synchronously or asynchronously.
