  • Substitute manager component that obtains state information of one or more software components upon failure of a first manager component
    Patent number: 7386556
    Abstract: An apparatus in one example comprises a substitute manager component that upon failure of a first manager component, obtains management responsibility for a distributed software application from the first manager component and queries one or more software components of the distributed software application for state information of the one or more software components. The substitute manager component employs the state information to determine whether one or more recovery actions are needed for the distributed software application to recover from the failure of the first manager component.

  • User level scheduling of inter-communicating real-time tasks
    Patent number: 6490611
    Abstract: In a multi-tasking system a writer task generates real-time and non real-time messages having multiple priority levels in an ascending order arranged in a plurality of priority bands. The real-time messages have predetermined timing deadlines. A plurality of queues indexing the messages by pointers, there is one queue for each priority band. A dispatcher moves pointers from a lower priority queue to a higher priority queue in response to a time-out signal dependent on the timing deadline. A data push agent transmits the messages indexed by the pointers according to the multiple priority levels.
