| 20090055348 | DYNAMIC CLUSTER DATABASE ARCHITECTURE - A method for implementing a set of database management components in a distributed database management system, the distributed database management system being implemented on a computer cluster. The method includes managing resources associated with an associated computer, the associated computer being one of a plurality of computers in the computer cluster. The method also includes managing locks on data stored on a plurality of associated data nodes coupled to the associated computer, wherein the associated data nodes are data nodes of a plurality of data nodes in the computer cluster. The method also includes specifying logical connections for the plurality of associated data nodes. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090217018 | METHODS, APPARATUS AND ARTICLES OF MANUFACTURE FOR REGAINING MEMORY CONSISTENCY AFTER A TRAP VIA TRANSACTIONAL MEMORY - Embodiments of the invention provide a method for regaining memory consistency after a trap via transactional memory. Transactional memory and a transactional memory log are used to undo changes made to memory from a transaction start point up to the point of a trap event. After the trap event is processed, and the changes are rolled back, the program can resume execution at the beginning of the transaction. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20100174840 | PRIORITIZATION FOR CONFLICT ARBITRATION IN TRANSACTIONAL MEMORY MANAGEMENT - Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for software prioritization of concurrent transactions for embedded conflict arbitration in transactional memory management. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for software prioritization of concurrent transactions for embedded conflict arbitration in transactional memory management can include setting different hardware registers with different priority values for correspondingly different transactions in a transactional memory system configured for transactional memory management according to respective priority values specified by priority assignment logic in external software support for the system. The method also can include detecting a conflict amongst the transactions in the system. Finally, the method can include applying conflict arbitration within the system based upon the priority values specified by the priority assignment logic in the external software support for the system. | 07-08-2010 |

| 20080256309 | MAINTAIN OWNING APPLICATION INFORMATION OF DATA FOR A DATA STORAGE SYSTEM - A data storage system writes data supplied from a host to data storage in accordance with write I/O of an owning application. A workload manager directs the processing of the supplied data in accordance with the write I/O of the owning application, provides service workload identification describing the write I/O, a storage subsystem control adds the service workload identification to record set information for the data, and a journal management system stores the record set information in a journal. The journaled information, for example, may be employed for performing forensic analysis of data corruption events or to perform security audits, etc. | 10-16-2008 |

| 20090013216 | SYSTEM FOR FACILITATING PROBLEM RESOLUTION - Disclosed is a data processing system for facilitating problem resolution. The data processing system-implemented system includes a configuring module for configuring a system pathway that leads to a solution, and an associating module for associating a usage indicator with the symptom pathway, the usage indicator indicating a frequency in which the symptom pathway was previously implemented for successfully resolving previously experienced problems. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090063904 | DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES IN SOFTWARE PRODUCTS - A method for describing activities in software products is provided. The method provides for identifying a plurality of activities in a software product that are of interest, defining an event structure to describe each identified activity as an event, associating each identified activity with one or more problem determination technologies, executing the software product, and responsive to detecting one of the plurality of identified activities during execution of the software product, creating one or more event records for the one detected activity based on the defined event structure, initiating the one or more problem determination technologies associated with the one detected activity, and passing the one or more event records to each of the one or more problem determination technologies. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090083853 | METHOD AND SYSTEM PROVIDING EXTENDED AND END-TO-END DATA INTEGRITY THROUGH DATABASE AND OTHER SYSTEM LAYERS - Providing extended or end-to-end data integrity through layers of a system. In one aspect, information is to be transmitted between an application end of the system and a physical storage medium that stores the information for a database of the system, the information to be transmitted via a database server in a database server layer of the system. At least a portion of data protection is provided for the information, the data protection causing the information to be protected from corruption between a system layer and the physical storage medium, where the system layer is a separate layer provided closer to the application end of the system than the database server layer. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090119645 | SYSTEM FOR BOUNDARY TRACE WITH REPRODUCTION FACILITY - Disclosed herein is a data processing system-implemented method, a data processing system, and an article of manufacture for investigating computer software. The data processing system-implemented method includes capturing tracing information at one or more boundary points of the computer software, and reproducing a behavior of the computer software at the boundary points based on the captured tracing information. | 05-07-2009 |
