Abstract: A method of determining the status of serving nodes suited for a parallel data computing architecture is disclosed herein. The method comprises the following steps: sending a first connection request from the first serving node to the second serving node through a first data communication interface; determining a first connection signal fed from the second serving node by the first serving node; sending a second connection request from the first serving node to the second serving node through a second data communication interface by the first serving node while the first connection signal shows that a connection between the serving nodes is unable to be built; determining the second connection signal fed from the second serving node by the first serving node so as to decide a status of the second serving node to process a status response procedure, thereby avoiding a huge amount time-consuming waiting.

Abstract: A memory management method includes sharing a memory space of a memory component via a network through a host operating system, mounting the shared memory space via the network through a virtual machine, monitoring an memory utilization of a virtual memory of the virtual machine, and allocating a storage block to the virtual machine in a condition that the memory utilization of the virtual memory of the virtual machine is greater than an upper bound. As such, a capacity of the virtual memory of the virtual machine is increased.

Abstract: A test system includes at least one tested end and a testing end. The testing end establishes a connection with the tested end. A plurality of predetermined hardware model numbers and a plurality of predetermined hardware configuration files corresponding to the predetermined hardware model numbers are stored at the testing end. The testing end determines if a tested hardware model number of the tested end is one of the predetermined hardware model numbers. When the tested hardware model number is one of the predetermined hardware model numbers, a tested hardware configuration file corresponding to the tested hardware model number is obtained from the predetermined hardware configuration files. The testing end generates at least one test item for the tested end in accordance with the tested hardware configuration file. The testing end performs the at least one test item on the tested end.

Abstract: A file management method of a server is implemented on a Linux operating system of the server. The method includes the steps of determining if there is a file deleted; when the result is yes, searching for an actual disk block location at which the deleted file is originally located and then recovering the deleted file; moving the recovered file to a predetermined location; and changing an access privilege level of the Linux operating system.

Abstract: In a method for executing an application program via a snapshot function, an electronic device is activated, and the electronic device is connected to a server, wherein a remote image file of the application program is stored in the server, and a snapshot step is performed onto the remote image file so as to obtain a remote snapshot, and a local settings file corresponding to the application program is obtained from the electronic device, and the electronic device can initialize and execute the application program according to the remote snapshot and the local settings file.

Abstract: A hard disk system and a method for accessing the hard disk system are provided. The hard disk system includes a first hard disk and a second hard disk. The first hard disk is used to store system data that is read-only. The second hard disk includes a mapped data storage section and a variable data storage section, wherein the mapped data storage section is used to store a mapped data generated by mapping the system data of the first hard disk. A maximum number of writes for the first hard disk is less than a maximum number of writes for the second hard disk, wherein the hard disk system performs data modification via the variable data section of the second hard disk.

Abstract: In a method for accessing a data storage unit, an access instruction for the data storage unit is received from a client side, and a step is performed to determine if the data storage unit has been shut down. When the access instruction is issued for browsing the data storage unit which has been shut down, archive information on the storage unit is obtained from a database, and the file directory information is delivered to the client side, so that the client side may browse the data storage unit based on the file directory information.

Abstract: A method of accessing a memory is implemented on a memory system having a main memory and a secondary memory. The main memory includes a compressed data area that has a SWAP file zone predefined therein. When the main memory is insufficient for data buffering, the predefined SWAP file zone is provided for data swapping. A newly defined SWAP file zone is dynamically created in the compressed data area whenever each last defined SWAP file zone is insufficient for data swapping, and the secondary memory is substitute for data swapping only when the compressed data area has insufficient capacity.

Abstract: This present invention is a method of accessing files with XML documents of Windows format under Linux, converting the XML documents of Windows format into the XML documents of Linux format, thus a web browser of Linux is able to download driver programs or to install programs from a data CD by the XML document of Linux format.

Abstract: A display chip sharing method allows any one of a plurality of blade servicing units of a blade server to display through the use of a switching unit electrically connected to a display device even if the blade servicing unit does not have any display chip. The method includes electrically connecting a control unit having a plug-and-play and a display chip to the switching unit and one of the blade servicing units ready to display, and having the switching unit emit an interrupt signal to the blade servicing unit; and having the blade servicing unit reset an operating system of the control unit in response to the interrupt signal, and load a driver program of the display chip, to enable the blade servicing unit to display by utilizing the display chip of the control unit in accordance with the driver program, and display processed output signals on the display device.
