20110145318 | INTERACTIVE ANALYTICS PROCESSING - An end-to-end record, request, response token-based protocol is used to facilitate processing of client jobs. This allows the client to forward analytical tasks of a job directly to an analytics cluster and to record an indication of such at a server. The accelerators of the cluster to perform the tasks are specified in a token provided by the server to the client. | 06-16-2011 |
20110145366 | CONCURRENT EXECUTION OF REQUEST PROCESSING AND ANALYTICS OF REQUESTS - Request processing within a computing environment is facilitated. Request processing and analytics processing for the request are performed substantially concurrently in order to improve efficiency of request execution. The analytics processing is at least commenced, and may complete, prior to receiving an indication of success or failure of the request processing. If request processing fails, analytics processing ceases, if not already complete, and results of the analytic processing are not used. | 06-16-2011 |
20110145429 | MULTI-GRANULAR STREAM PROCESSING - Stream processing is facilitated by distributing responsibility for processing the stream to multiple components of a computing environment. A programmable unit receives one or more streams and determines the operations to be performed for the one or more streams and which components of the computing environment are to perform those operations. It forwards data relating to the one or more streams to one or more components of the computing environment for processing and/or information purposes. | 06-16-2011 |
20130007412 | UNIFIED, WORKLOAD-OPTIMIZED, ADAPTIVE RAS FOR HYBRID SYSTEMS - A method, system, and computer program product for maintaining reliability in a computer system. In an example embodiment, the method includes managing workloads on a first processor with a first processor architecture by an agent process executing on a second processor with a second processor architecture. The method proceeds by activating redundant computation on the second processor by the agent process. The method continues by performing a same computation from a workload of the workloads at least twice. Finally, the method includes comparing results of the same computation. In this embodiment the first processor is coupled the second processor by a network, and the first processor architecture and second processor architecture are different architectures. | 01-03-2013 |
20130007759 | UNIFIED, WORKLOAD-OPTIMIZED, ADAPTIVE RAS FOR HYBRID SYSTEMS - A method, system, and computer program product for maintaining reliability in a computer system. In an example embodiment, the method includes performing a first data computation by a first set of processors, the first set of processors having a first computer processor architecture. The method continues by performing a second data computation by a second processor coupled to the first set of processors, the second processor having a second computer processor architecture, the first computer processor architecture being different than the second computer processor architecture. Finally, the method includes dynamically allocating computational resources of the first set of processors and the second processor based on at least one metric while the first set of processors and the second processor are in operation such that the accuracy and processing speed of the first data computation and the second data computation are optimized. | 01-03-2013 |

20130191848 | Distributed Function Execution for Hybrid Systems - A system for distributed function execution, the system includes a host in operable communication with an accelerator. The system is configured to perform a method including processing an application by the host and distributing at least a portion of the application to the accelerator for execution. The method also includes instructing the accelerator to create a buffer on the accelerator, instructing the accelerator to execute the portion of the application, wherein the accelerator writes data to the buffer and instructing the accelerator to transmit the data in the buffer to the host before the application requests the data in the buffer. The accelerator aggregates the data in the buffer before transmitting the data to the host based upon one or more runtime conditions in the host. | 07-25-2013 |
