Abstract: A computer system according to the present invention has a plurality of processor cores that execute a plurality of threads in a parallel manner. When one of the threads updates a database (DB) region that is among a plurality of database regions associated with a database (DB), and that cannot be updated by more than one thread, the computer system selects one of one or more dedicated log buffers as a log buffer to which a log relating to the update of the database region is to be written. In contrast, when one of the threads updates a database region that is among the plurality of database regions, and that can be updated by more than one thread, the computer system selects one of one or more shared log buffers as a log buffer to which a log relating to the update of the database region is to be written. Each dedicated log buffer is a log buffer that can store one or more logs associated with only one thread and that cannot store two or more logs associate with two or more threads.

Abstract: A shared resource update apparatus includes: a processor unit including at least one processor having a plurality of processor cores that respectively execute a plurality of threads; and a storage unit storing a program that executes conflict avoidance control by being executed by the processor unit. A shared resource for the plurality of threads comprises a plurality of shared resource parts which are logically or physically partitioned. Each first thread among the plurality of threads is an update thread which updates an allocated shared resource part in response to an update request. Each second thread among the plurality of threads is a reference thread which issues an update request and references a shared resource part. Conflict avoidance control includes allocation of different shared resource parts to different update threads at a ratio of 1:n or 1:1, where n is an integer equal to or larger than 2.

Abstract: The present invention is a stream data anomaly detection method for detecting an anomaly in input data received by a computer. The computer has: an input module for receiving the input data; an anomaly detection unit for detecting an anomaly in the input data; and an index management unit for calculating an index for the detection of an anomaly in the input data. The anomaly detection unit compares the received input data with the index and detects an anomaly in the input data when the difference between the value of the input data and the index satisfies a predetermined condition. The index management unit determines whether or not the index should be recalculated, and, when the index is determined to be recalculated, the index management unit recalculates a new index on the basis of the input data and substitutes the index with the calculated index.

Abstract: A method and device for guaranteeing performance of stream data processing wherein a latency guarantee and a processing accuracy guarantee are possible while ensuring a real-time property. An execution system determination unit evaluates an amount of data currently present in a queue of an input data reception unit, calculation time, and the processing accuracy. Then, during a query process, if the amount of data in the queue increases for some reason, and is likely to be larger than the requested latency, the execution system determination unit changes the system to a calculation system by which the latency can be reduced within a range that a final quality can be allowed, on the basis of the evaluation result. Under the condition that the accuracy is reduced, if the latency is likely to be greatly lower than the requested latency, the system changes to a calculation system having a higher processing accuracy.

Abstract: Provided is a failure recovery method for switching to a standby system if a failure occurs in an active system, which allows reduction of loads on the standby system and a network. A computer system, which receives data to which timestamp information is appended in a chronological order and processes the received data by registered queries, includes the active system for processing the received data and the standby system for processing the received data instead of the active system upon occurrence of a failure. The active system processes the received data by the respective queries according to a predefined sequence, and transmits results obtained from the received data by the respective queries to the standby system as intermediate data on a query basis at a predetermined timing. The standby system restores the data by processing the received data and the intermediate data if a failure occurs in the active system.

Abstract: The message delivery system has a first and a second computer and a storage device. The first computer receives messages sent from a sender, delivers the messages to at least a part of receiver computers and gets states of message delivery to these receiver computers. Based on the message delivery states, a check is made as to whether there are any slow receiver computers that have the message delivery thereto delayed. When there are slow receiver computers, a request is made to switch a message delivery control over the detected slow receiver computers from the first computer to the second computer. Then the second computer takes over the message delivery control over the slow receiver computers and resumes delivering the messages to the slow receiver computers.

Abstract: A computer for the stream data processing system includes a query recovery point management table. A recovery point management section determines a recovery point for the stream data processing system by identifying an oldest one of input tuples used for generating output tuples, which are managed, or an earlier tuple through the use of a query recovery point stored in the query recovery point management table, and transmits the determined recovery point for the stream data processing system to an additional computer. The additional computer stores the last-received recovery point for the stream data processing system in a checkpoint file. When the computer for the stream data processing system recovers from a fault, the additional computer transmits the data succeeding the stored recovery point to the computer for the stream data processing system.
