Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080256103 | Systems and methods of providing possible value ranges - Embodiments of the invention relate generally to incremental computing. Specifically, embodiments of the invention include systems and methods that provide for the concurrent processing of multiple, incremental changes to a data value while at the same time monitoring and/or enforcing threshold values for that data value. For example, a method is provided that determines whether multiple incremental changes to a data field could pass a threshold based on keeping track of a possible value range for the data field. | 10-16-2008 |
20080256537 | Systems and methods of quota accounting - Embodiments of the invention relate generally to incremental computing. Specifically, embodiments of the invention include systems and methods that provide for the concurrent processing of multiple, incremental changes to a data value while at the same time monitoring and/or enforcing threshold values for that data value. For example, a method is provided that implements domain quotas within a data storage system. | 10-16-2008 |

20110016353 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM SCANNING - Systems and methods are provided for scanning files and directories in a distributed file system on a network of nodes. The nodes include metadata with attribute information corresponding to files and directories distributed on the nodes. In one embodiment, the files and directories are scanned by commanding the nodes to search their respective metadata for a selected attribute. At least two of the nodes are capable of searching their respective metadata in parallel. In one embodiment, the distributed file system commands the nodes to search for metadata data structures having location information corresponding to a failed device on the network. The metadata data structures identified in the search may then be used to reconstruct lost data that was stored on the failed device. | 01-20-2011 |

20110145195 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACCESSING AND UPDATING DISTRIBUTED DATA - Systems and methods are disclosed that provide an indexing data structure. In one embodiment, the indexing data structure is mirrored index tree where the copies of the nodes of the tree are stored across devices in a distributed system. In one embodiment, nodes that are stored on an offline device are restored, and an offline device that comes back online is merged into the distributed system and given access to the current indexing data structure. In one embodiment, the indexing data structure is traversed to locate and restore nodes that are stored on offline devices of the distributed system. | 06-16-2011 |

In one embodiment, groups of data designated for storage in a data storage unit are journaled into persistent storage. In one embodiment, the journal data is recorded nonlinearly. In one embodiment, a linked data structure records data and data descriptors in persistent storage. | 06-23-2011 |
20110179399 | ESTABLISHING A USEFUL DEBUGGING STATE FOR MULTITHREADED COMPUTER PROGRAM - A facility for supporting the analysis of a multithreaded program is described. For each of a number of threads of the multithreaded program, the facility identifies a semantically meaningful point in the execution of the thread. The facility interrupts the execution of each thread at the point identified for the thread. | 07-21-2011 |
20110283262 | ENHANCED RELIABILITY USING DETERMINISTIC MULTIPROCESSING-BASED SYNCHRONIZED REPLICATION - A hardware and/or software facility for executing a multithreaded program is described. The facility causes each of a plurality of machines to execute the multithreaded program deterministically, such that the deterministic execution of the multithreaded program is replaced across the plurality of machines. The facility detects a problem in the execution of the multithreaded Program by one of the plurality of machines. In response, the facility adjusts the execution of the multithreaded program by at least one of the machines of the plurality. | 11-17-2011 |
