20150150000 | USING ALTERNATE PORT NAME FOR UNINTERRUPTED COMMUNICATION - In a method for communicating in a computing environment, a first computer establishing communication with a first virtual computer through a first virtual port using a primary port name for the first virtual port, wherein the first virtual computer is executing on a second computer. The first computer acquires an alternate port name for the first virtual port from the first virtual computer executing on the second computer. The first computer determines that the first virtual computer is not accessible using the primary port name for the first virtual port, wherein the first virtual computer is migrated to execute on a third computer. The first computer establishes communication with the first virtual computer executing on the third computer using the alternate port name of the first virtual port. | 05-28-2015 |
20140358621 | TIME-DEPENDENT REORDER POINTS IN SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORKS - According to an exemplary embodiment, a computer-implemented method for attempting to optimize a supply chain network (SCN) includes forecasting demand in the SCN based on a set of demand data. One or more time-dependent reorder points (ROPs) deemed to optimize the SCN are generated by a computer processor, based on the demand forecast, where each time-dependent ROP represents an ROP that changes over time. A simulation of operations of the SCN is performed, using the time-dependent ROPs. | 12-04-2014 |
20090083490 | System to Improve Data Store Throughput for a Shared-Cache of a Multiprocessor Structure and Associated Methods - A system to improve data store throughput for a shared-cache of a multiprocessor structure that may include a controller to find and compare a last data store address for a last data store with a next data store address for a next data store. The system may also include a main pipeline to receive the last data store, and to receive the next data store if the next data store address differs substantially from the last data store address. The system may further include a store pipeline to receive the next data store if the next data store address is substantially similar to the last data store address. | 03-26-2009 |
