20100106678 | MONITORING AGENT PROGRAMS IN A DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING PLATFORM - Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for monitoring information passed from instances of role(s) of a service application installed on a distributed computing platform and for indexing and analyzing the information within a data store are provided. Monitoring involves a monitoring agent that is integrated within an operating system of computing devices that make up the distributed computing platform. In operation, the monitoring agent retrieves information from the role instances and converts the information into parameters that are assembled to documents. Generally, the parameters are assembled to a uniform-structured format in accordance with a schema imposed by the distributed computing platform. Accordingly, each of the documents across the platform have a common format that promotes processing and analysis without a need for reconfiguration. Accordingly, the health of the service application, although dispersed throughout the distributed computing environment, may be observed and evaluated in a consistent manner. | 04-29-2010 |
20110321031 | UPDATING NODES CONSIDERING SERVICE MODEL CONSTRAINTS - Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for deploying an update to nodes propagated throughout a data center are provided. Launching new upgrade to hosting environment residing on the nodes typically invokes a mechanism (e.g., fabric controller) to form a group of nodes that are independent of one another with respect to upgrade domains, which are assigned to tenants (e.g., program components of service applications running within the data center) presently hosted by the nodes. The constraints of the update domains are articulated by service level agreements established for the service applications, respectively. Forming the group involves identifying independent nodes for membership, where no two members of the group host analogous tenants (belonging to a common service application) that are assigned to distinct update domains. However, it is acceptable to join to the group those nodes hosting analogous tenants that are each assigned to the same update domain. | 12-29-2011 |

20100082910 | SKIP BASED CONTROL LOGIC FOR FIRST IN FIRST OUT BUFFER - A system and method of a skip based control logic for a first in first out (FIFO) buffer is disclosed. In one embodiment, a FIFO buffer system includes a storage for storing data, a write pointer for pointing to a write address of the storage for a write operation, and a read pointer for pointing to a read address of the storage for a read operation. Further, the FIFO buffer system includes a control logic for incrementing the read pointer based on a skip parameter of a skip register. The skip parameter is used to characterize a validity of the data for the read operation. | 04-01-2010 |
20110320646 | SKIP BASED CONTROL LOGIC FOR FIRST IN FIRST OUT BUFFER - Skip based control logic for first in first out buffer is disclosed. In one embodiment, a host controller interface (HCI) device includes an isochronous receive first in first out (IRFIFO) buffer. The IRFIFO buffer includes a storage for storing an isochronous data packet received from a guest device. Further, the IRFIFO buffer includes a write pointer for pointing to a write address of the storage for a write operation. Furthermore, the IRFIFO buffer includes a read pointer for pointing to a read address of the storage for a read operation. In addition, the IRFIFO includes a control logic for incrementing the read pointer by a value of a skip parameter of a skip register if the isochronous data packet is not valid for the read operation. | 12-29-2011 |
20110320647 | SKIP BASED CONTROL LOGIC FOR FIRST IN FIRST OUT BUFFER - Skip based control logic for first in first out buffer is disclosed. In one embodiment, an isochronous data packet placed in an isochronous receive first in first out (IRFIFO) buffer coupled to an isochronous receive direct memory access (IRDMA) is detected. Further, a header of the isochronous data packet is read. Furthermore, a validity of the isochronous data packet is determined. Also, a read operation of remaining data of the isochronous data packet is skipped if the isochronous data packet is determined as invalid. | 12-29-2011 |
