摘要:
Program product for an application programming interface that unifies a plurality of mechanisms into a single framework. The interface includes a mechanism for communicating between members of a process group of related processes, and a mechanism for synchronizing the related processes of the process group. Additionally, the application programming interface may include mechanisms for managing membership of the process group or a processor group of processors, and/or a mechanism for controlling a group state value for the process group.
摘要:
A barrier synchronization system in a distributed computing environment. A group of members, including a plurality of related processes executing on one or more processors of the distributed computing environment, is provided a protocol having a dynamic number of synchronization phases. The protocol is voted on by one or more members of the group to determine how the protocol should proceed for the group of members. The protocol may complete successfully, continue to another synchronization phase or be rejected. The group of members determines how many synchronization phases the protocol is to include.

摘要:
A system for managing membership of process groups of a distributed computing environment. Requests to alter membership of a first process group are received and presented to the first process group as a batched request. However, requests to change the membership of a second process group are received and presented to the second process group serially. Thus, the manner in which requests are presented can be different for various process groups. Additionally, different types of requests can be presented to the same process group in a differing manner. For instance, requests to join a process group can be presented as a batched request and requests to leave the process group can be presented serially, or vice versa.

摘要:
Managing membership of a domain of processors in a distributed computing environment including determining the lowest numbered node available in the domain and periodically sending grovel messages from the other available nodes to the lowest numbered node in the domain. Responsive to receiving all of the grovel messages by the lowest numbered node, the lowest numbered node performs a two phase commit whereby the lowest numbered node becomes a name server for managing the processors in the domain. The two phase commit includes sending an insert phase 1 (P1) message to the other available nodes from the lowest numbered node and, responsive to the insert P1 message, sending an acknowledge (ACK) message from the other available nodes to the lowest numbered node. Responsive to the ACK messages, a commit message is sent to the other available nodes notifying them that the lowest numbered node has become the name server.
摘要:
Actions responsive to changes in the state of independent process groups whose process members are spread across a group of nodes in a distributed computing environment. The process groups are arranged in a hierarchy having source process groups and target process groups immediately above and dependent upon the source process groups. A change in the state or membership of a process group will result in a group services function of the nodes in the group injecting the change into the source group members of the affected group. When the action is successfully completed, the change is reflected up the hierarchy to the target group member or members. Upon successful action by the target group, the target group becomes the new source group which in turn may have target groups, and the changes are again reflected up the hierarchy to the new target groups.
