    摘要: In a multinode data processing system in which the nodes communicate with one another via communication adapters over a network or switch, the adapters are provided with a dual register mechanism for tracking microcode task status. Upon the issuance of a disruptive command that requires attention from one of the nodes, the task status maintained in one register is copied to the snapshot register. As tasks within the adapter are completed, both registers are updated, thus providing a mechanism for the nodes to determine that all tasks active at the time of the disruptive command have completed. This means that the nodes now have a mechanism for determining, as soon as possible, that all tasks that are active when a disruptive command occurs have completed, thus allowing the data processing node to perform such operations as releasing system memory that is associated with the disruptive command, thus eliminating temporal overhead that can affect performance.

    摘要: In remote direct memory access (RDMA) transfers in a multinode data processing system in which the nodes communicate with one another through communication adapters coupled to a switch or network, there is a need for the system to ensure efficient memory protection mechanisms across jobs. A method is thus desired for addressing virtual memory on local and remote servers that is independent of the process ID on the local and/or remote node. The use of global Translation Control Entry (TCE) tables that are accessed/owned by RDMA jobs and are managed by a device driver in conjunction with a Protocol Virtual Offset (PVO) address format solves this problem.

    摘要: In a multinode data processing system in which nodes exchange information over a network or through a switch, the mechanism which enables out-of-order data transfer via Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) also provides a corresponding ability to carry out broadcast operations, multicast operations, third party operations and conditional RDMA operations. In a broadcast operation a source node transfers data packets in RDMA fashion to a plurality of destination nodes. Multicast operation works similarly except that distribution is selective. In third party operations a single central node in a cluster or network manages the transfer of data in RDMA fashion between other nodes or creates a mechanism for allowing a directed distribution of data between nodes. In conditional operation mode the transfer of data is conditioned upon one or more events occurring in either the source node or in the destination node.

    摘要: A system and method that utilizes a dedicated transmission queue to enable expedited transmission of data messages to adaptive “nearest neighbor” nodes within a cluster. Packet descriptors are pre-fetched by the communications adapter hardware during the transmission of the preceding data element and setup for the next transmission is performed in parallel with the transmission of the preceding data element. Data elements of a fixed length that is equal to the cache line size of the communication hardware can optionally be used to provide optimized transfer between computer memory and communications hardware. The data receiving processing can also be optimized to recognize and handle cache line size data elements.
