Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080320112Highly scalable and highly available cluster system management scheme - A cluster system is treated as a set of resource groups, each resource group including a highly available application and the resources upon which it depends. A resource group may have between 2 and M data processing systems, where M is small relative to the cluster size N of the total cluster. Configuration and status information for the resource group is fully replicated only on those data processing systems which are members of the resource group. A configuration object/database record for the resource group has an associated owner list identifying the data processing systems which are members of the resource group and which may therefore manage the application. A data processing system may belong to more than one resource group, however, and configuration and status information for the data processing system is replicated to each data processing system which could be affected by failure of the subject data processing system—that is, any data processing system which belongs to at least one resource group also containing the subject data processing system. The partial replication scheme of the present invention allows resource groups to run in parallel, reduces the cost of data replication and access, is highly scalable and applicable to very large clusters, and provides better performance after a catastrophe such as a network partition.12-25-2008

20100131250Methods for Handling Withdrawal of Streams from a Linear Programming Model Developed from a Thermodynamically-Based Reference Tool - Methods and systems for withdrawing a stream from a linear programming model of a manufacturing facility. In one embodiment, one or more independent input variables and one or more key output variables are specified within the linear programming model. A stream within the model to be at least partially withdrawn is identified, and a stream is preferably added to the model immediately downstream of the withdrawal point. The added stream has one or more component rates that are perturbed. The one or more key output variables are solved in response to the perturbation of the component rates to create a derivative for the perturbed component rates. The derivatives are negated, and an amount of withdrawal for the identified stream is specified. The resulting component rates of the stream to be at least partially withdrawn can be determined based on the specified amount of withdrawal and the negated derivatives to simulate an effect on the one or more key output variables.05-27-2010
