| 20100100761 | MAINTAINING A PRIMARY TIME SERVER AS THE CURRENT TIME SERVER IN RESPONSE TO FAILURE OF TIME CODE RECEIVERS OF THE PRIMARY TIME SERVER - A primary time server of a Coordinated Timing Network remains as current time server, even if time code information of the primary time server is unavailable. The primary time server receives the necessary or desired timing information from a secondary time server and uses that information to maintain time synchronization within the Coordinated Timing Network. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100100762 | BACKUP POWER SOURCE USED IN INDICATING THAT SERVER MAY LEAVE NETWORK - A server of a network of servers determines that its power source is failing. In response, the server communicates to one or more other servers of this network that it is leaving the network. This communication is powered by another power source. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100185889 | CHANNEL SUBSYSTEM SERVER TIME PROTOCOL COMMANDS - A protocol for communicating with the timing facility used in a data processing network to provide synchronization is provided via the execution of a machine instruction that accepts a plurality of commands. The interaction is provided through the use of message request blocks and their associated message response blocks. In this way timing parameters may be determined, modified and communicated. This makes it much easier for multiple servers or nodes in a data processing network to exist as a coordinated timing network and to thus more cooperatively operate on the larger yet identical data files. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100223317 | SERVER TIME PROTOCOL MESSAGES AND METHODS - Server time protocol (STP) messages and methods of exchange thereof are provided for facilitating synchronization of processing units of a timing network. The STP messages include exchange time parameters (XTP) commands and responses, and STP control (STC) commands and responses. XTP message exchange processing includes: generating an XTP message command at a first processing unit including a command transmit timestamp field set by the first processing unit and a command receive timestamp field which is unset by the first processing unit; transmitting the XTP message command to a second processing unit; setting the command receive timestamp field in the XTP command with the time the XTP command is received at the second processing unit; and generating an XTP message response at the second processing unit, the message response including the command transmit timestamp set by the first processing unit and the command receive timestamp set by the second processing unit. | 09-02-2010 |

| 20090113085 | FLUSHING WRITE BUFFERS - A first node to cause flushing data units stored in a write buffer of a second node to a memory of the second node. While using a pin-based approach, the central processing unit (CPU) of the first node may activate a first pin coupled to a second pin of the second node that may cause a sequence of operations to flush the write buffer. While using a control-register based approach, the CPU or the memory controller hub (MCH) may configure the control register using an inter-node path such as the SMBus or a data transfer path that may cause a sequence of operations to flush the write buffer. While using an in-band flush mechanism, the CPU may send a message over the data transfer path after transferring the data units that may cause a sequence of operations to flush the write buffer. | 04-30-2009 |
