摘要:
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for distributed behavior controlled execution of modeled applications. Embodiments of the invention facilitate the interoperation of a central data store along with various peer-to-peer functionalities. Thus, distributed applications can be executed in an environment that utilizes advantages of both a central data store and peer-to-peer messaging. A read-only portion of a centralized data store can be used to provide some behavior control over various processing systems during execution of a distributed software application. Thus, embodiments of the invention can be used to form a policy-driven collective of nodes forming a distributed, decentralized run-time for model-based applications. Utilizing a cooperating collective of nodes that comply with centralized polices and execute applications over a peer-to-peer fabric permits a distributed application runtime to accommodate distribution and decentralization on a large scale.
摘要:
Incremental single and multiprocess checkpointing and restoration is described, which is transparent in that the application program need not be modified, re-compiled, or re-linked to gain the benefits of the invention. The processes subject to checkpointing can be either single or multi-threaded. The method includes incremental page-boundary checkpointing, as well as storage checkpointing of data files associated with applications to ensure correct restoration without the need to restore files for other application programs. Incremental and full checkpoints are asynchronously merged to ensure proper operation while reducing checkpointing delay. By way of example a user-level programming library is described for loading into the address space of the application in conjunction with a loadable kernel module (LKM) or device driver used to capture and restore process state on behalf of the application. These techniques are particularly well suited for use with high-availability (HA) protection programming.
