Systems, methods, and products for database system transaction management are provided herein. One aspect provides for annotating via a computing device at least one data object residing on the computing device utilizing at least one transaction tag, the at least one transaction tag being configured to indicate a status of an associated data object; processing at least one database transaction utilizing a transactional memory process, wherein access to the at least one data object is determined based on the status of the at least one data object; and updating the status of the at least one data object responsive to an attempted access of the at least one data object by the at least one database transaction. Other embodiments and aspects are also described herein.

In an exemplary aspect, method, apparatus, and program products are disclosed suitable for clock offset determination. One method includes performing a number of exchanges of at least single bytes with another network node, where values of the single bytes are different for the exchanges. The method also includes capturing and storing timestamps for each of the number of exchanges performed on the network node. A second method includes capturing and saving arrival timestamps for each of a number of timing messages in a set of timing messages received from another network node. This second method also includes sending the timestamps to at least the another node in response to completion of the set of timing messages.
摘要:
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.
摘要:
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.

A method and system are disclosed for executing a machine instruction in a central processing unit. The method comprise the steps of obtaining a perform floating-point operation instruction; obtaining a test bit; and determining a value of the test bit. If the test bit has a first value, (a) a specified floating-point operation function is performed, and (b) a condition code is set to a value determined by said specified function. If the test bit has a second value, (c) a check is made to determine if said specified function is valid and installed on the machine, (d) if said specified function is valid and installed on the machine, the condition code is set to one code value, and (e) if said specified function is either not valid or not installed on the machine, the condition code is set to a second code value.
摘要:
In a networked data processing system, the updating of timing parameters is carried out via a process in which the detection of the loss of communications with the network is not immediately employed as an indication of parameter invalidity but rather the process employs a system specific delay which permits actions such as server or link recovery to occur without necessitating the declaration of timing parameter invalidity.

Disclosed are a method and system for calculating clock offset and skew between two clocks in a computer system. The method comprises the steps of sending data packets from a first processing unit in the computer system to a second processing unit in the computer system, and sending the data packets from the second processing unit to the first processing unit. First, second, third and fourth time stamps are provided to indicate, respectively, when the packets leave the first processing unit, arrive at the second processing unit, leave the second processing unit, and arrive at the first processing unit. The method comprises the further steps of defining a set of backward delay points using the fourth time stamps, and calculating a clock offset between clocks on the first and second processing units and clock skews of said clocks using said set of backward delay points.

Affinity-based preferential call technique, in one aspect, may improve performance of distributed applications in a hybrid system having heterogeneous platforms. A segment of code in a program being executed on a processor may be intercepted or trapped in runtime. A platform is selected in the hybrid system for executing said segment of code, the platform determined to run the segment of code with best efficiency among a plurality of platforms in the hybrid system. The segment of code is dynamically executed on the selected platform determined to run the segment of code with best efficiency.

摘要:
A computer system is arranged with a circular buffer that includes a piecewise linear map from a high-resolution counter arranged to maintain International Atomic Time. The piecewise linear map includes a current leg that is currently being used and also a future leg that will be used in the future. The future leg is computed while the current leg is still being used.
