摘要:
A method, an apparatus and a recording medium are provided for communicating message payload data, especially noncontiguous message data, from a first node of a network to a second node of the network in response to a request to transmit a message. Such method includes dividing the length of a data payload to be transmitted into a plurality of submessage payload lengths, i.e., into at least a first submessage payload length and a second submessage payload length. Then, a first ordered submessage is transmitted from the first node for delivery to the second node, the first ordered submessage having the first submessage payload length. A first state of an environment is then determined in the first node as if the step of transmitting the first ordered submessage were already completed. Without having to complete the step of transmitting the first ordered submessage, a second ordered submessage is then transmitted from the first node for delivery to the second node, the second submessage having the second submessage payload length, the second submessage being transmitted in a way that takes into account the first state of the environment in the first node.
摘要:
Lock-free queues of a shared memory environment are used to facilitate communication within that environment. The lock-free queues can be used for interprocess communication, as well as intraprocess communication. The lock-free queues are structured to minimize the use of atomic operations when performing operations on the queues, and to minimize the number of enqueue/dequeue operations to be performed on the queues.

Globally consistent information is locally provided to communications layers. Globally consistent information is stored in a Network Availability Matrix, which is locally accessible by a communications layer. If an event is detected, the communications layer is automatically notified by the Network Availability Matrix, and is able to use the information in the Network Availability Matrix to quickly take action.
摘要:
Epoch numbers are maintained in a pair wise fashion at a plurality of communication endpoints to provide communication consistency and recovery from a range of failure conditions including total or partial node failure and subsequent recovery. Once an epoch state inconsistency is recognized, negotiation procedures provide an effective mechanism to reestablish valid communication links without the need to employ global variables which inherently possess greater transmission and overhead requirements needed to maintain communications. Renegotiation of recognizably valid epoch numbers occurs on a pair wise basis.

Processing within a multi-threaded processing environment is facilitated. A plurality of threads are employed to perform polling on a plurality of entities. The polling enables the concurrent driving of progress on the plurality of entities, as well as the detection of occurrence of a specified event across the plurality of entities and the termination of continued polling at the occurrence of this event.
