摘要:
A method, computer system, and computer program product for error monitoring partitions in the computer system. Provided to each partition is a partition status indicator (PSI) denoting a RUNNING or FAIL status of the partition. During booting, it is ascertained whether each partition has the RUNNING or FAIL status, and the PSI of each partition is accordingly set to the RUNNING status or the FAIL status, respectively. An error procedure performed for each first partition whose partition status indicator indicates the FAIL status includes: copying each error entry in the ELA of the first partition whose ESI indicates the UNREAD status into the ELA of a second (running) partition; setting the ESI to the READ status for each copied error entry in the ELA of the first partition; and having the ESI set to the UNREAD status for each copied error entry in the ELA of the second partition.

A computer system for performing error monitoring of partitions. A partition status buffer (PSB) denotes a status (GOOD, BAD, NOCARE) of each partition of at least two partitions. The BAD status denotes that the partition has encountered at least one error that is currently unrepaired. A global supervisor mapping (GSM) associates each partition (designated as a supervised partition) with a supervisor partition in a one-to-one mapping. The supervisor partition determines its supervised partition from the GSM and ascertains the status of its supervised partition from the PSB. If the status of the supervised partition is BAD then the supervisor partition performs a recovery procedure. The recovery procedure: obtains a grant of access to physical and logical resources of the supervised partition which contains error data of the supervised partition; gathers the error data; sets the status of the supervised partition to the NOCARE status.

A method, system, and product are disclosed for isolating a defect in a memory system by determining in which particular component of the memory system the defect exists. The memory system includes multiple components. The components include a physical memory module, a memory card to which the physical memory module is attached, and a memory controller for controlling the memory card. The memory card includes one or more electrical buffers for driving or detecting the memory signals. The buffers may be used as virtual memory elements. Each component is tested separately in order to identify the defective component with the help of virtual memory system elements. The components are tested by first testing the physical memory module. If the physical memory module passes the test, the memory card is then tested. If the memory card passes its test, the memory controller is tested.

A recursive on-line wavelet data compression technique which may be used in, for example, a process control network, compresses a stream of data points on-line or in real-time (e.g., as the data arrives or is generated) without requiring the storage of a large amount of uncompressed data. The data compression system includes a data receiver that receives the data points in a sequential manner and a compression tree computation device that determines approximation coefficients and detail coefficients of a multi-layer wavelet compression tree from the received data points. The compression tree computation device determines all of the coefficients of the higher level layers of the compression tree that can be determined after the data receiver receives each of the data points to thereby perform on-line or real-time data compression. A memory stores the determined approximation coefficients of the compression tree, a comparator compares the determined detail coefficient magnitudes or other error measurements to one or more thresholds to determine if construction of the compression tree should be halted and a compression data generator selects a subset of the determined coefficients to create a set of compressed data corresponding to the received data points when the comparator determines that construction of the compression tree should be halted.

A computer program product and computer system for error monitoring partitions in a computer system. Provided to each partition is a partition status indicator (PSI) denoting a RUNNING or FAIL status of the partition, and an error log area (ELA) for storing partition error entries. The ELA includes a partition identifier, an entry status indicator (ESI) indicating READ/UNREAD status for the error entry, and an error identifier. An error procedure performed for each first partition whose partition status indicator indicates the FAIL status includes: copying each error entry in the ELA of the first partition whose ESI indicates the UNREAD status into the ELA of a second (running) partition; setting the ESI to the READ status for each copied error entry in the ELA of the first partition; and having the ESI set to the UNREAD status for each copied error entry in the ELA of the second partition.

A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for backing up data in a nonvolatile random access memory. Selected data is stored in the nonvolatile random access memory in available space in at least one electrically erasable programmable read only memory in the data processing system to form stored data. The stored data is used to restore the nonvolatile random access memory if nonvolatile random access memory becomes corrupted.
