Abstract: A system for a distributed partitioned map reduce includes a plurality of nodes, a plurality of partitions, and a service node. The one or more partitions of the plurality of partitions are stored on a first node of the plurality of nodes. The service node is configured to receive a task from a client application system. The client application system receives a request to perform the task from a requestor. The client application system selects a service node to manage execution of the task. The client application system provides the service node the task. The service node is configured to provide partition task logic to the plurality of partitions. The partition task logic includes a partition task map reduce. The service node is configured to receive partition results from the plurality of partitions, execute a service node reduce to determine a service node result, and provide the service node result.

Abstract: A system includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive an indication that a change has occurred to partition data on a first node, wherein the partition data is stored on a partition on the first node. The processor is configured to: determine whether the change to the partition data causes a change to a predetermined partition result of a set of predetermined partition results stored by the partition; and in response to a determination that the change to partition data affects the predetermined partition result stored by the partition: determine a new value for the predetermined partition result; store the new value; and provide an indication to a service node that the new value for the predetermined partition result has been determined, wherein the service node is selected by a client application system to manage execution of a task.

Abstract: A system for a distributed real time partitioned map reduce includes a plurality of nodes, a service node, and a plurality of partitions. The service node is selected by a client application system to manage execution of a task. One or more partitions of the plurality of partitions are stored on a first node of the plurality of nodes. A partition stored on the first node is configured to receive a request for a partition result from the service node; determine the partition result by querying a set of predetermined partition results stored by the partition; and provide the partition result to the service node.

Abstract: A system for performing a computation includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive an indication of the computation. The processor is configured to determine whether the computation is with respect to a computation version number. In response to a determination that the computation is with respect to a computation version number: 1) determine whether the system has been updated to at least the computation version number; and 2) in response to a determination that the system has been updated to at least the computation version number: a) determine a set of data values for the computation associated with the computation version number; b) perform a partition reduce operation on the set of data values to determine a partition result; and c) provide the partition result.

Abstract: A system and method for supporting a scalable thread pool in a multi-threaded processing environments such as a distributed data grid. A work distribution system utilizes a collection of association piles to hold elements communicated between a service thread and multiple worker threads. Worker threads associated with the association piles poll elements in parallel. Polled elements are not released until returned from the worker thread. First in first out ordering of operations is maintained with respect to related elements by ensuring related elements are held in the same association pile and preventing polling of related elements until any previously polled and related elements have been released. By partitioning the elements across multiple association piles while ensuring proper ordering of operations with respect to related elements the scalable thread pool enables the use of large thread pools with reduced contention compared to a conventional single producer multiple consumer queue.

Abstract: A system and method supports dynamic thread pool sizing suitable for use in multi-threaded processing environment such as a distributed data grid. Dynamic thread pool resizing utilizes measurements of thread pool throughput and worker thread utilization in combination with analysis of the efficacy of prior thread pool resizing actions to determine whether to add or remove worker threads from a thread pool in a current resizing action. Furthermore, the dynamic thread pool resizing system and method can accelerate or decelerate the iterative resizing analysis and the rate of worker thread addition and removal depending on the needs of the system. Optimizations are incorporated to prevent settling on a local maximum throughput. The dynamic thread pool sizing/resizing system and method thereby provides rapid and responsive adjustment of thread pool size in response to changes in work load and processor availability.
