Patent number: 10133513Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computing system for determining a queue depth and a flush rate for each of a plurality of pending data queues associated with a cache system, thus defining a queue depth/flush rate pair for each of the plurality of pending data queues. A predicted drain time is determined for each of the plurality of pending data queues based, at least in part, upon the queue depth/flush rate pair, thus defining a plurality of predicted drain times that are respectively associated with the plurality of pending data queues.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2015Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: David J. Agans, David W. Harvey, Gregory S. Schaffer, Mark J. Cariddi, Long Zhang, Henry Austin Spang, IV

Patent number: 8024433Abstract: Methods of managing application resources in a computer system. The methods may comprise the steps of determining a configuration of the computer system and receiving a request to access an application resource. The methods may also comprise the step of directing the request to a data file. The data file may include a plurality of streams, and each of the plurality of streams may comprise a configuration-specific version of the application resource. In various embodiments, the methods may also comprise the step of directing the request to a first stream of the plurality of streams. The first stream may comprise version of the application resource specific to the configuration. Various system embodiments are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2007Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: OSR Open Systems Resources, Inc.Inventors: W. Anthony Mason, Peter G.

Patent number: 7809897Abstract: Methods of monitoring a computer system. The methods may comprise the steps of calculating a first checksum of a data location and receiving a request from an operation running on the computer system for a lock corresponding to the data location. The methods may also comprise the steps of calculating a second checksum of the data location, and generating an indication if the first checksum and the second checksum are not equivalent. Also, methods of detecting a lock ranking violation in a computer system. The methods may comprise the steps of receiving a request from an operation for a first lock associated with a first data storage location and reviewing a list of locks issued to the operation. The methods may also comprise the step of determining whether the operation possesses a lock ranked higher than the first lock.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2009Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: OSR Open Systems Resources, Inc.Inventors: W.
