20080240855 | VEHICLE BARRIER SYSTEM - A security barrier system for use with a trafficable surface and a site requiring protection from advancing vehicles includes a composite bed system having a plurality of elevations and comprising a first layer beneath a second layer. The first layer includes a deformable material configured to collapse when subjected to vehicle loads, and the second layer includes a pedestrian cover surface over the deformable material that conceals the deformable material. The pedestrian cover surface is configured to support pedestrian traffic over the deformable material without permanently collapsing the deformable material and to collapse along with the first layer when subjected to vehicle loads. A structure beyond the bed system is provided to resist the impact of a vehicle that has traversed the bed system. | 10-02-2008 |

20110078421 | ENHANCED MONITOR FACILITY - A monitoring facility that is operable in two modes allowing compatibility with prior existing monitoring facilities. In one mode, in response to encountering a monitored event, an interrupt is generated. In another mode, in response to encountering a monitored event, one or more associated counters are incremented without causing an interrupt. | 03-31-2011 |
20110113434 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM FOR MANAGING COMPUTER PROCESSING FUNCTIONS - Exemplary embodiments include a system and storage medium for managing computer processing functions in a multi-processor computer environment. The system includes a physical processor, a standard logical processor, an assist logical processor sharing a same logical partition as the standard logical processor, and a single operating system instance associated with the logical partition, the single operating system instance including a switch-to service and a switch-from service. The system also includes a dispatch component managed by the single operating system instance. Upon invoking the switch-to service by standard code, the switch-to service checks to see if an assist logical processor is online and, if so, it updates an integrated assist field of a work element block associated with the task for indicating the task is eligible to be executed on the assist logical processor. The switch-to service also assigns a work queue to the work element block. | 05-12-2011 |
20120198216 | ENHANCED MONITOR FACILITY - A monitoring facility that is operable in two modes allowing compatibility with prior existing monitoring facilities. In one mode, in response to encountering a monitored event, an interrupt is generated.

20130014123 | DETERMINATION OF RUNNING STATUS OF LOGICAL PROCESSOR - An embodiment provides for operating an information processing system. An aspect of the invention includes allocating an execution interval to a first logical processor of a plurality of logical processors of the information processing system. The execution interval is allocated for use by the first logical processor in executing instructions on a physical processor of the information processing system. The first logical processor determines that a resource required for execution by the first logical processor is locked by another one of the other logical processors. An instruction is issued by the first logical processor to determine whether a lock-holding logical processor is currently running. The lock-holding logical processor waits to release the lock if it is currently running. A command is issued by the first logical processor to a super-privileged process for relinquishing the allocated execution interval by the first logical processor if the locking holding processor is not running. | 01-10-2013 |

20100153605 | REDISPATCHING SUSPENDED TASKS AFTER COMPLETION OF I/O OPERATIONS ABSENT I/O INTERRUPTS - Input/output (I/O) interrupts are avoided at the completion of I/O operations. A task requests (implicitly or explicitly) an I/O operation, and processing of the task is suspended awaiting completion of the I/O operation. At the completion of the I/O operation, instead of an I/O interrupt, an indicator associated with the task is set. Then, when the task once again becomes the current task to be executed, the indicator is checked. If the indicator indicates the I/O operation is complete, execution of the task is resumed. | 06-17-2010 |
