  • Shared closures on demand
    Patent number: 8046540
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for copying data from a virtual machine to a shared closure on demand. This process improves system efficiency by avoiding the copying of data in the large number of cases where the same virtual machine is the next to request access and use of the data. Load balancing and failure recovery are supported by copying the data to the shared closure when the data is requested by another virtual machine or recovering the data from the failed virtual machine and storing it in the shared closure before a terminated virtual machine is discarded.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 26, 2007
    Date of Patent: October 25, 2011
    Assignee: SAP AG
