摘要： A semiotic decision making system operates to respond, for example, to natural language queries. The system operates independent of the type of symbolic elements in which queries are cast. A training corpus of information in the form of sequential sets of a selected type of element is input to the system and processed by a semiotic processing module to create a knowledge database based upon the lineal relationship of elements within the training corpus. The knowledge database is then used to make decisions relating to queries input in the same type of elements. Accordingly, inputting a French training corpus results in a knowledge base useful in answering French questions. Multiple semiotic processing modules may be used to enhance performance.

摘要： A decision making system uses semiotic processing modules to transform a training corpus of information, in the form of sequential sets of symbols, into a knowledge database. The knowledge database is thereafter used to make decisions relating to queries input in the same type of training corpus symbols. In the knowledge base, the system stores data representations of analyses of subsets of the training corpus sets of sequential elements. The knowledge base data representations comprise predicates and elemental and non-elemental acts. An inductive processor recursively processes the training corpus sets by evaluating the relationship and frequency of occurrence of individual elements and sets of elements in the training corpus. After processing of the training corpus is completed, the resultant knowledge base is used to evaluate queries in a performance mode of operation.

摘要： A semiotic decision making system processes a training corpus of information in the form of sequential sets of elements to create a database which is thereafter used to make decisions relating to queries input in the same type of elements. Sets of sequential elements of a training corpus are received. Ordered pairs of sequential elements and ordered pairs are identified. The ordered pairs include element/element, pair/element, element/pair and pair/pair ordered pairs, in a recursive semiotic process based on the statistical occurrence of element sequences in the training corpus sets whereby each ordered pair represents an n sequential element subset of a training corpus set defined by a set of nested ordered pairs. Constituent sets of ordered pairs and elements are identified for the training corpus sets. Each constituent set for a given training corpus set of n sequential elements has 2n−1 members including representations of each sequential element of the training corpus set and a set of nested subsets of ordered pairs where each sequential training corpus set element is included in one of said ordered pairs. Database records are created corresponding to the identified constituent sets.

摘要： A remote monitoring system providing diagnostic and remedial functions to a computer system. The remote monitoring system comprises a service center and a diagnostic agent. The diagnostic agent is located proximate to the monitored computer system and electronically coupled to the monitored computer system such that the diagnostic agent can retrieve information about the various states of the monitored computer system. The diagnostic agent stores the retrieved information and further processes it for future use. Such information includes fault monitor information, accounting information, system performance information, and system management information. In addition, the diagnostic agent has control over the monitored computer system allowing it to perform diagnostic and remedial functions. Further, the diagnostic agent is electronically coupled to a service center located remotely to the monitored computer system. In the context of fault monitoring operations, the diagnostic agent interrogates the monitored computer system for information related to malfunctions. Moreover, the diagnostic agent interacts with the service center through a communication interface to retrieve various diagnostic and remedial information related to discovered computer system operability problems. The diagnostic agent uses the retrieved information to overcome the discovered problems. Alternatively, the remote monitoring system used as an information tool for a business model to provide remedial services for computer systems.

摘要： A method for communicating active messages among nodes of a parallel processing computer system is disclosed. The active messages are defined by .mu.threads, and the method comprises the steps of: (a) generating a .mu.thread comprising an instruction pointer, frame pointer, and Local Parameters pointer from a first node to a second node; and (b) performing a procedure on a data structure in accordance with the .mu.thread. The instruction pointer points to an application specific procedure in system memory, and the frame pointer points to an application specific data structure in system memory. The Local Parameters pointer points to one or more words of additional data or parameters stored in memory mapped device registers or system memory.

摘要： A method, system, and computer program product specifies a communication intraconnect architecture that supports a pull model based data communication where data is sent to a receiver along with a memory address (a receiver buffer address or a reference to a pool manager or buffer pool) where the data is to be stored. CIA primitives are used to create nodes and dialog objects managed by send and receive IFEs. A logical dialog is established between corresponding send and receive dialog objects. A send dialog object includes a reference that identifies for the send IFE the corresponding receive dialog object in the receive IFE. The receive dialog object includes a reference that identifies for the receive IFE the corresponding send dialog object in the send IFE. Receive and send primitives are used to provide pull model data communication over a logical dialog. Receive with Buffer and Receive with Buffer Pool operations are provided. Multiple, full duplex, reliable virtual circuit connections can be provided for each node. Multiple dialog objects can reference a single node. Multiple outstanding CIA primitive operations are allowed on each dialog. Dialogs can handle byte stream or message oriented data. Dialog operations and features further include scatter and gather support, Early-Far-End and Far-End send classes of service, automatic recurring receive option, partial sends and receives messages with substantially no restrictions on send/rcv lengths, and multiple dialog priorities. A user level management dialog is established to manage establishment of logical dialogs. Various dialog establishment services can be used. Buffer pool and pool manager operations provide address bound checking, buffer pool credits, low water mark notification, and data binding to further optimize data transfer performance.

摘要： Apparatus and method for coordinating cache coherency between host cache memories in a distributed information system in a system which comprises at least one main storage memory coupled to a plurality of host computers through controllers. Each host computer includes a host cache controller which maintains the state of the data stored in its associated memory and maintains communicating with a main memory controller for participating in the control of coordinated reading and writing of data between the host cache memories and the main storage memory. The system maintains cache coherency by the exchange of commands between the main memory controller and the hosts cache controllers each of which define the state of the blocks of data stored in the host cache memories.
