摘要： A method and system for maintaining the execution speed of a multiprocessor computer system includes automatically detecting a change in instruction execution rate in a disabled processor by a threshold amount and determining an amount of change in instruction execution rate to adjust an actual system-level instruction execution rate to approximate a target system-level instruction execution rate. The target system-level execution rate being pre-determined. Thereafter, the method adjusts one or more instruction processor execution rates such that the actual system-level instruction execution rate approximates the target system-level instruction execution rate to overcome the loss of the disabled processor. One embodiment of the invention involves the use of a processor key for licensing of processor resources within the computer system and offers the option of enabling a dynamic processor recovery method as well as an automatic execution rate regulation method.

摘要： A computing system having multiple processors in which these processors are configured to support a plurality of workload types may provide processing metering by workload types. In such a system, a server control module provides a mechanism for automatically configuring processor sets for processing tasks of each workload type supported by the system. This various processor sets are uniquely configured to support tasks of any given workload type. Tasks from a particular workload type are assigned to execute on a processor configured to support that workload type. If no processor set for a given workload type is present in a system, a task of that workload type may also be performed on a standard processor.

摘要： A system and method for providing multiple access levels to users of a wireless network system. The network system includes a plurality of wireless access points coupled to a network. Access points (APs) for the network may be widely distributed in various facilities, such as airports, mass-transit stations, and various businesses. The network may couple to a wide area network, such as the Internet. A portable computing device (PCD) of a user may store identification information which indicates an access or privilege level for the user of the PCD. The access level may determine the network access and/or services available to the user of the PCD. The identification information may include a System ID of the PCD. Each of the access points may be operable to “listen for” or detect the identification information of the PCD. The network system may store a list of identification information and a corresponding list of access levels. When the access point receives the identification information from a PCD of a user, the access point may determine the appropriate access level for the portable computing device using the identification information. Network access and services may then be provided to the portable computing device at the indicated level. Thus, the local network may provide various local resources which are available to users having a first access level, and users with a second access level may not be entitled to view or utilize these network resources on the network, but may be simply provided external Internet access.

摘要： A method for specifying an operating system (OS) file to use in a computing system after a system reboot begins by copying at least one new OS file to a system disk. An OS file to be installed is selected from the new OS files on the disk. The system is booted into the selected OS file, the selected OS file becoming the currently running OS on the system. A boot pointer on the system disk is updated to point to the selected OS file, such that any subsequent reboot will be into the selected OS file.

摘要： A method and system for dumping computer memory includes receiving an instruction to perform a dump of memory in a partitioned computer system where each partition has at least one processor and associated memory. The associated memory having a first portion and a second portion where the first portion is normally actively used for user application program or data storage. After receipt of the dump request, the source memory content is protected against corruption or contention from other program sources and copied into the second portion of memory. Preferably, the first and second portions are co-located RAM to provide speedy transfers of information. Access to the first portion of memory is then permitted by removing the protections and the user may have full access to run applications. The dump image is then transferred to any location as a background I/O task as the user executes his applications.

摘要： A method and apparatus for ensuring the coherence of multiple copies of the same data at multiple geographic locations is presented. The system operating system, the system operator or some combination of both may determine the physical disks having the file or comprising the disk families containing data which requires protection. Using the MIRROR CREATE commands in a Unisys MCP operating system environment, a mirrored disk pack set is made for each relevant physical disk identified. The disk pack set is distributed amongst at least two geographic locations. For each member of each disk pack set, the STORESAFE+command associates a site identifier with the member corresponding to the member's geographic location. During application processing, disk writes for one member of a mirrored set are performed for each member of the set. The MCP operating system checks the results of each disk write to each of the members of the mirrored disk set. If the MCP operating system determines that a write was successful for at least one member of the mirrored set at each geographic location, then a “good” I/O result is returned to the application and application processing continues normally. By contrast, if the MCP operating system determines that for least one site identifier, no member of the set assigned the identifier experienced a successful disk write, then an IOERROR is returned, and application processing may optionally be halted.

摘要翻译： 提出了一种用于确保多个地理位置上相同数据的多个副本的一致性的方法和装置。 系统操作系统，系统操作员或两者的某种组合可以确定具有该文件或包含需要保护的数据的磁盘系列的物理磁盘。 在Unisys MCP操作系统环境中使用MIRROR CREATE命令，为每个相关的物理磁盘确定镜像磁盘组。 磁盘包集在至少两个地理位置之间分布。 对于每个磁盘组的每个成员，STORESAFE +命令将站点标识符与与该成员的地理位置相对应的成员相关联。 在应用程序处理期间，为集合的每个成员执行一个镜像集的一个成员的磁盘写入。 MCP操作系统会检查每个磁盘写入到镜像磁盘组的每个成员的结果。 如果MCP操作系统确定每个地理位置的镜像集的至少一个成员的写入成功，则将“良好”I / O结果返回给应用程序，并且应用程序处理正常进行。 相比之下，如果MCP操作系统确定了至少一个站点标识符，则分配了标识符的集合的任何成员都经历了成功的磁盘写入，则返回一个IOERROR，并且应用程序处理可以可选地被停止。
