Abstract

An approach is described that accesses data in a shared memory that is shared amongst nodes that include a local node and remote nodes. The local node receives a name corresponding to a named data element in a Coordination Namespace, the Coordination Namespace having been created in a memory distributed amongst the nodes. A hash function is applied to at least a portion of the name with a result of the hash function being a natural node indicator. Data corresponding to the named data element is requested from a natural node identified by the indicator. Based on the request, a response is received from the natural node.

Synchronization between processes in a coordination namespace

Patent Jacob, Philip; Strenski, Philip N.; Johns, Charles

A system and method of supporting point-to-point synchronization among processes/nodes implementing different hardware barriers in a tuple space/coordinated namespace (CNS) extended memory storage architecture. The system-wide CNS provides an efficient means for storing data, communications, and coordination within applications and workflows implementing barriers in a multi-tier, multi-nodal tree hierarchy. The system provides a hardware accelerated mechanism to support barriers between the participating processes. Also architected is a tree structure for a barrier processing method where processes are mapped to nodes of a tree, e.g., a tree of degree k to provide an efficient way of scaling the number of processesmore » « less

Relocation and persistence of named data elements in coordination namespace

Patent Nair, Ravi; Johns, Charles Ray; Kahle, James Allan; ...

An approach is disclosed that relocates a named data element. A request to move a name corresponding to the named data element is received from a first storage area in a Coordination Namespace to a second storage area in the Coordination Namespace. The first storage area has a first level of persistence, and the second storage area has a second level of persistence. The named data element exists in a Coordination Namespace that is allocated in a memory distributed amongst a plurality of nodes that include the local node and one or more remote nodes. The approach then creates amore » « less

Distributed directory of named data elements in coordination namespace

Patent Johns, Charles Ray; Kahle, James Allan; Sexton, James C.; ...

An approach is described that provides a distributed directory structure within a storage of an information handling system (a local node). A request is received with the request corresponding to a shared virtual address. The shared virtual address that is shared amongst a number of nodes that includes the local node and some remote nodes. A Global Address Space Directory (GASD) is retrieved that corresponds to a global virtual address space. The GASD is stored in a Coordination Namespace that is stored in a memory that is distributed amongst the nodes. A mapping that is included in the GASD ismore » « less

Interlinked tuples in coordination namespace

Patent Jacob, Philip; Strenski, Philip Neil; Johns, Charles

A system and method for supporting tuple record interlinking in one or more tuple space/coordinated namespace (CNS) extended memory storage systems. A system-wide CNS provides for efficient storing and communicating of data generated by local processes running at the nodes, and coordinated to generate a union/intersection of multiple CNS where tuple records are interlinked in multiple CNS hashtables, and/or share tuple data between two sets of processes that are part of different CNSs. Local node processes further generate multi-key tuples where two or more tuple records are interlinked within the same CNS hash table, thereby permitting a look up ofmore » « less

Access of named data elements in coordination namespace

Patent Nair, Ravi; Johns, Charles R.; Kahle, James A.; ...

An approach is described that provides access to a named data element in a Coordination Namespace that is stored in a memory that is distributed amongst a set of nodes. A request of a name corresponding to the named data element is received from a requesting process and the approach responsively searches for the name in the Coordination Namespace. In response to determining an absence of data corresponding to the named data element, a pending state is indicated to the requesting process. In response to determining that the data corresponding to the named data element exists, a successful state ismore » « less
