Patent number: 11356541Abstract: In an approach for managing network sockets, a computer receives a request to create a network socket to transfer data. The computer identifies information associated with the received request, including one or more of: a default network protocol, one or more supported network protocols, ahead of time initialization, a data transfer policy, a failure policy, and a security policy. The computer creates a second level hash map based on the identified information, wherein the second level hash map includes the supported network socket protocols and a connection state. The computer determines a network protocol to utilize associated with the received request. The computer establishes a connection for the network socket over the determined network protocol.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Timothy P. Ellison, Ankur Gupta, Sreedhar B. Kodali, Xiaoqiao Meng, Neil G. M. Richards, Sivasakthi Thirugnanapandi

Patent number: 10901755Abstract: A data-serialization system initially uses a recursive serialization algorithm to serialize a hierarchy of nested data objects by translating those objects into a serial stream of data. The system determines that a stack-overflow error is likely to occur whenever the number of objects serialized by the system exceeds a threshold value, or whenever the stack has reached an unacceptable level of utilization. When the system determines that a stack-overflow error is likely or if the system detects that a stack-overflow error will definitely occur if another object is serialized, the system either transfers control to a nonrecursive algorithm that does not require a stack data structure or reduces stack utilization by transferring contents of the stack to a variable-size queue-like data structure.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2019Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Timothy P. Ellison, Amit S. Mane, Sathiskumar Palaniappan, Vijay Sundaresan
