Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide techniques for protecting critical sections of code being executed in a lightweight kernel environment suited for use on a compute node of a parallel computing system. These techniques avoid the overhead associated with a full kernel mode implementation of a network layer, while also allowing network interrupts to be processed without corrupting shared memory state. In one embodiment, a fast user-space function sets a flag in memory indicating that interrupts should not progress and also provides a mechanism to defer processing of the interrupt.

Abstract: In a massively parallel computer system embodiment, when receiving a message at a compute node from an input/output node, the compute node performs the steps of: obtaining a lock on a collective network device; checking a shared storage location for a message pending for a thread; if such a message is pending, receiving the message's remaining packets directly to a user's buffer, unlocking, and returning; if no such message is pending, receiving one packet from the network device; if the packet indicates that the message is for the thread, receiving the message's remaining packets directly to the user's buffer, unlocking, and returning; and if the packet indicates that the message is for another thread, updating the shared storage location with a thread id of the other thread, unlocking, waiting for a time out, locking, and repeating from the checking step. Accordingly, data copying is eliminated with an attendant performance benefit.

Abstract: An injector device for dispensing at least two fluids in a sequential delivery includes a plunger located within an inner body, the inner body located within an outer body, a cannula comprising an entry opening integrally joined to the outer body, and at least one piercing member integrally joined with the outer body. In an embodiment, the piercing member includes a neck section and one or more slots that engage a membrane on the inner body so as to continue to allow release of the contents of a first liquid from the outer body just prior to commencement of the flow of a second liquid from the inner body.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide techniques for protecting critical sections of code being executed in a lightweight kernel environment suited for use on a compute node of a parallel computing system. These techniques avoid the overhead associated with a full kernel mode implementation of a network layer, while also allowing network interrupts to be processed without corrupting shared memory state. In one embodiment, a system call may be used to disable interrupts upon entry to a routine configured to process an event associated with the interrupt.
