  • Publication number: 20160077937
    Abstract: A fabric computer method and system for recovering fabric computer node function. The fabric computer method includes monitoring a processing environment operating on a first Processor and Memory node within the fabric computer complex, detecting a failure of the first Processor and Memory node, and transferring the processing environment from the first Processor and Memory node to a second Processor and Memory node within the fabric computer complex in response to the detection of a failure of the first Processor and Memory node. The fabric computer system includes a first Processor and Memory node, a second Processor and Memory node coupled to the first Processor and Memory node, at least one input/output (I/O) and Networking node coupled to the first and second Processor and Memory nodes, and a fabric manager coupled to the first and second Processor and Memory nodes and the at least one I/O and Networking node.

  • Patent number: 6895591
    Abstract: A file accessing scheme allows logical files to be processed outside of the native operating system and its logical I/O subsystem. When an application program wants to process a file outside of the native operating system, a file information block is built with a special type of file designated as “virtual.” A pointer is provided within the file information block to a handler. The handler is a library that is external to the native operating system. The library processes the file without using the native operating system. Upon completion of the processing, the handler returns the operation results to the file information block and control is transferred back to the application program.
