| 20090138881 | Prevention of Deadlock in a Distributed Computing Environment - A method for preventing deadlock in a distributed computing system includes the steps of: receiving as input a sorted set of containers defining a unique global sequence of containers for servicing process requests; populating at least one table based at least in part on off-line analysis of call graphs defining corresponding transactions for a given order of the containers in the sorted set; storing within each container at least a portion of the table; and allocating one or more threads in a given container according to at least a portion of the table stored within the given container. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090138882 | Prevention of Deadlock in a Distributed Computing Environment - A system for preventing deadlock in a distributed computing system includes a memory and at least one processor coupled to the memory. The processor is operative: to receive as input a sorted set of containers defining a unique global sequence of containers for servicing process requests; to populate at least one table based at least in part on off-line analysis of call graphs defining corresponding transactions for a given order of the containers in the sorted set; to store within each container at least a portion of the at least one table; and to allocate one or more threads in a given container according to at least a portion of the at least one table stored within the given container. | 05-28-2009 |

| 20100254377 | Network Routing System Providing Increased Network Bandwidth - A network employing multiple redundancy-aware routers that can eliminate the transmission of redundant data is greatly improved by steering redundant data preferentially into common data paths possibly contrary to other routing paradigms. By collecting redundant data in certain pathways, the effectiveness of the redundancy-aware routers is substantially increased. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100254378 | NETWORK ROUTING SYSTEM PROVIDING INCREASED NETWORK BANDWIDTH - A network employing multiple redundancy-aware routers that can eliminate the transmission of redundant data is greatly improved by steering redundant data preferentially into common data paths possibly contrary to other routing paradigms. By collecting redundant data in certain pathways, the effectiveness of the redundancy-aware routers is substantially increased. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100329256 | ARCHITECTURE AND SYSTEM FOR COORDINATED NETWORK-WIDE REDUNDANCY ELIMINATION - A network employing redundancy-aware hardware may actively allocate decompression tasks among different devices along a single path to improve data throughput. The allocation can be performed by a hash or similar process operating on a header of the packets to distribute caching according to predefined ranges of hash values without significant additional communication overhead. Decompression of packets may be similarly distributed by marking shim values to match the earlier caching of antecedent packets. Nodes may use coordinated cache sizes and organizations to eliminate the need for separate cache protocol communications. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110282932 | ASYMMETRIC END HOST REDUNDANCY ELIMINATION FOR NETWORKS - An end host redundancy elimination system and method to provide redundancy elimination as an end system service. Embodiments of the system and method use optimization techniques that reduce server central processing unit (CPU) load and memory footprint as compared to existing approaches. For server storage, embodiments of the system and method use a suite of highly-optimized data structures for managing metadata and cached payloads. An optimized asymmetric max-match technique exploits the inherent structure in data maintained at the server and client and ensures that client processing load is negligible. A load-adaptive fingerprinting technique is used that is much faster than current fingerprinting techniques while still delivering similar compression. Load-adaptive means that embodiments of the fingerprinting technique can adapt CPU usage depending on server load. Embodiments of the system and method operate above the transmission control protocol (TCP) layer, thereby reducing the number of roundtrips needed for data transfer. | 11-17-2011 |
