摘要:
A computer system includes a virtual machine supporting an object-oriented environment, in which programs to run on the virtual machine are formed from classes including methods. Applications run on the virtual machine. After a first such application has run on the virtual machine, a reset is performed on the virtual machine. The reset calls a first method in a class to perform a tidy-up operation which effectively puts the virtual machine back into a clean state. Subsequently a second application can be started on the virtual machine. As part of this start-up, the system calls a second method in the class to perform a reinitialization of the class.

A system includes first and second virtual machines (VM) representing a master and a client respectively. A class file is loading by the first virtual machine into shared memory. The class file includes sharable and non-sharable data, and also references sharable and non-sharable data (including code). When it is desired to load the same class into the second virtual machine, the class is first located within said shared memory. A mirror copy of the class is then formed within private memory in the second virtual machine. Finally the non-sharable data of the class is completed in the private memory. Thereafter, an application in the second virtual machine can utilise the class on the basis of the sharable data in the shared memory of the first virtual machine, and the non-sharable data from the private memory of the second virtual machine.

A method and apparatus for use in a computing environment to run a variety of applications in logical partitions. The apparatus includes one or more logical processors (LPs), one or more logical partitions (LPARs) configured to each access a share of processing resources of the LPs in accordance with predefined instructions, and an LPAR manager configured to determine an operational mode of each of the LPARs and any available amount of an excess of the share of the processing resources of the LPs and to dispatch the processing resources of at least a subset of the LPs to the LPARs in accordance with the respective predetermined shares and with respect to the determined operational mode of the respective LPARs and the amount, if any, of the excess share.

A system for distributing a plurality of tasks over a plurality of nodes in a network includes: a plurality of processors for executing tasks; a plurality of nodes comprising processors; a task dispatcher; and a load balancer. The task dispatcher receives as input the plurality of tasks; calculates a task processor consumption value for the tasks; calculates a node processor consumption value for the nodes; calculates a target node processor consumption value for the nodes; and then calculates a load index value as a difference between the calculated node processor consumption for a node i and the target node processor consumption value for the node i. The balancer distributes the tasks among the nodes to balance the processor workload among the nodes according to the calculated load index value of each node, such that the calculated load index value of each node is substantially zero.

A computer-implemented method for distributing a plurality of tasks over a plurality of processing nodes in a processor network includes the following steps: calculating a task process consumption value for the tasks; calculating a measured node processor consumption value for the nodes; calculating a target node processor consumption value for the nodes, the target node processor consumption value indicating optimal node processor consumption; calculating a load index value as a difference between the calculated node processor consumption value for a node i and the target node processor consumption value for node i; and distributing the tasks among the nodes to balance a processor workload among the nodes, according to the calculated load index value, such that the calculated load index value of each node is substantially zero. The method further embodies a multi-dimensional balancing matrix, each dimension of the matrix representing a node corresponding to a different processor type and each cell representing tasks assigned to multiple nodes.
