20100205611 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PARALLEL STREAM PROCESSING - We describe the design of a lightweight library using MPI to support stream-processing on acyclic process structures. The design can be used to connect together arbitrary modules where each module can be its own parallel MPI program. We make extensive use of MPI groups and communicators to increase the flexibility of the library, and to make the library easier and safer to use. The notion of a communication context in MPI ensures that libraries do not conflict where a message from one library is mistakenly received by another. The library is not required to be part of any larger workflow environment and is compatible with existing MPI execution environments. The library is part of MarketMiner, a system for executing financial workflows. | 2010-08-12 |
20100205612 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING PROTOCOL MESSAGES FOR MULTIPLE PROTOCOL INSTANCES - The invention includes a method and apparatus for processing protocol messages for multiple protocol instances. In one embodiment, a method for processing protocol messages includes receiving a plurality of messages for a plurality of processors where each received message is associated with one of the protocol instances, generating a processing request for each message, queuing the processing requests, and servicing the queues in a manner for arbitrating access by the queues to the processors for processing the messages. A processing request generated for a received message identifies one of the protocol instances with which the message is associated. The processing requests are queued using a plurality of queues associated with the respective plurality of protocol instances, where each processing request is queued in one of the queues associated with the one of the protocol instances with which the processing request is associated. The servicing of each queue includes reading a processing request from the queue, if the queue has at least one processing request queued therein, and causing the one of the processors with which the processing request is associated to process one of the messages associated with the protocol instance identified by the processing request. The queues may be serviced in a round-robin manner for arbitrating access by the queues to the processors, thereby enabling atomic processing of the messages. | 2010-08-12 |
20100205613 | Method, Apparatus, and System for Applying Timed Operations to Non-Timed Functions - An encapsulation module encapsulates a function in a timed method adapter. A caller calls the timed method adapter in place of the function. The timed method adapter calls a set invoker. The set invoker saves an argument, calls an invoke thread, and returns to the timed method adapter. The invoke thread invokes the function and passes the function an object and the argument. The timed method adapter further waits for an execution result from the function and monitors for an expiration of a timeout. If the function returns the execution result before expiration of the timeout, the timed method adapter returns the execution result to the caller. If the timeout expires before the function returns the execution result, the timed method adapter directs the invoke thread to cancel the function and returns a timeout exception to the caller. | 2010-08-12 |

20100205654 | Signalling Method for Communication Networks, Corresponding Network, Devices and Computer Program Product - A method is proposed, for use e.g. in the context of WiMAX networks supporting the CMIPv6 function, for allowing the ASN-GW to become aware of the status of a control procedure, the CMIPv6 mobility binding procedure. The ASN-GW is not directly aware of its result since the procedure implies a message exchange at the U-Plane level, where the ASN-GW implements only a routing function. Nevertheless the ASN-GW needs to know the status of the procedure since it has to perform some subsequent actions depending on that status.
