Abstract: A method at one or more computers having memory and one or more processors includes detecting establishment of a connection between a first process and a second process; determining whether an augmented communications service is available for the connection between the first process and second process; in accordance with a determination that the augmented communications service is available, configuring the connection between the first process and the second process to make use of the augmented communications service with no modification to the executable codes of the first process and the second process; and in accordance with a determination that the augmented communications service is not available, configuring the connection between the first process and the second process to make use of a non-augmented communications service.

Abstract: This innovation provides a method for a networked and replicated database management system (DBMS) using only one-sided remote direct memory access (RDMA). Replicated databases retain some access to the stored data in the face of server failure. In the prior state of the art, after the software in the DBMS on one of the servers acted on a client's request to update the database, it would contact the other replicas of the database and ensure that they had recorded the change, before responding to the client that the transaction was complete. This innovation describes a method whereby the database client directly interacts with each DBMS replica over the network using only RDMA to directly modify the stored data while maintaining the properties of database atomicity and consistency. This method reduces transactional latency by removing any need for the server DBMS software to respond to or forward requests for service.

Abstract: A method and computer program product for tracking network activity within a high performance computing environment is disclosed An application may be run in the high performance computing environment and a computation within the application may be performed in parallel on more than one processor. When the application is executed, data is gathered about the performance of hardware devices within the high performance computing environment and the clocking signals are adjusted to a global clock. The temporal data may be processed for a hardware device for a defined time period to develop one or more temporal performance metrics. Additionally, all activities that occur on a hardware device for a given time period can be determined and visualized.
