Publication number: 20220413898Abstract: Examples for handling ownership of process threads include acquiring ownership of a set of process threads to assign ownership of a subject process thread to an ownership agent. In some examples, acquiring ownership may include acquiring ownership of process threads with a wait event. During acquiring ownership of the set of process threads, one or more process threads that are acquired may be released to attend to an event that has occurred. A thread coordinator that handles ownership during acquiring phase may release and rebid one or more process threads. Upon acquiring all the process threads, the ownership of the subject process thread is assigned to an ownership agent. With a set of ownership conditions, the process threads are acquired efficiently within reduced time and with reduced deadlocks.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2021Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventor: Man-Ho Lawrence LEE

Patent number: 7508763Abstract: A method and system for controlling traffic on a network. A congestion indicator is generated by network components in response to the flow of network traffic. The congestion indicator is received by a network peripheral node that has a threshold variable which controls the flow of traffic flowing from the network peripheral node. The threshold variable corresponding to the congestion indicator will be reduced in order to restrict the flow of traffic flowing from that network peripheral node. If more than one congestion indicator is received by the network peripheral node, then the threshold variable will continue to be reduced thereby further restricting network traffic. If no further congestion indicators are received, then the network peripheral node will terminate the Back-Off Period state of the threshold variable such that the threshold variable can then be increased and network traffic can increase.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2003Date of Patent: March 24, 2009Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventor: Man-Ho Lawrence Lee

Patent number: 7231543Abstract: Each processor in a distributed multi-processor environment maintains a set of connectivity condition scores. The connectivity condition scores are then passed to a pruning process with tie-breaker logic that selects certain of the processors to include in the new system configuration. The surviving processors are selected based on primary connectivity information and secondary processor connectivity condition scores. The result of the pruning/tie-breaker process is transmitted to all of the surviving processors, which continue to maintain connectivity information that can be used in the next regroup incident.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2004Date of Patent: June 12, 2007Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Man-Ho Lawrence Lee, Kousik Bera, Marcelo Moraes De Azevedo
