摘要： An apparatus and method allows processing sequenced records across multiple network connections. A “logical connection” is defined to include one or more network connections. Each message is assigned a sequence number that allows the messages to be ordered on the other end according to sequence number, regardless of which network connection in the logical connection is used to transfer the message. By defining messages, sequencing those messages, and transferring the messages over multiple network connections, the throughput and performance of networked computer systems are substantially increased.

摘要： According to the present invention, a cluster communications system is provided that supports reliable and efficient cluster communications. The preferred embodiment cluster communication systems can be used to provide this reliable and efficient cluster communication for cluster configurations extending beyond a single local area network (LAN). The cluster communications system provides reliable and efficient cluster communication by facilitating multicast messaging between systems in the cluster. In particular, the preferred embodiment provides for the establishment of multicast groups in between which multicast messaging is provided. The preferred embodiment provides this multicasting while providing the needed mechanisms to assure ordered message delivery between systems. The preferred embodiment extends this efficient and reliable cluster communication by providing for additional point-to-point communication between systems not on the same LAN. Thus, the preferred embodiment provides a cluster communication system that uses reliable multicasting for efficient cluster communication in a way that can be used for clusters that extend beyond a single local area network.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for implementing system to system communication in a switchless non-InfiniBand (IB) compliant environment. IB architected multicast facilities are used to communicate between HCAs in a loop or string topology. Multiple HCAs in the network subscribe to a predetermined multicast address. Multicast messages sent by one HCA destined to the pre-determined multicast address are received by other HCAs in the network. Intermediate TCA hardware, per IB architected multicast support, forward the multicast messages on via hardware facilities, which do not require invocation of software facilities thereby providing performance efficiencies. The messages flow until picked up by an HCA on the network. Architected higher level IB connections, such as IB supported Reliable Connections (RCs) are established using the multicast message flow, eliminating the need for an IB Subnet Manager (SM).

摘要： An apparatus, program product and method support the dynamic modification of cluster communication parameters such as a fragmentation size parameter through controllably deferring the processing of a requested fragmentation size change in a source node until after receipt an acknowledgment message for at least one unacknowledged message sent by the source node to a plurality of target nodes. By controllably deferring such processing until it is confirmed that any such previously-unacknowledged messages sent by a source node have been received by any target nodes, synchronization between the source node and the target nodes may be obtained, and a fragmentation size change may occur in a coordinated fashion such that future messages from the source node to the target node will be processed by both the source and the target nodes using the modified fragmentation size parameter.

摘要： A clustered computer system includes multiple computer systems (or nodes) coupled together via one or more networks that can become members of a group to work on a particular task. Each node includes a cluster engine, a cluster communication mechanism that includes a sliding send window, and one or more service tasks that process messages. The sliding send window allows a node to send out multiple messages without waiting for an individual acknowledgment to each message. The sliding send window also allows a node that received the multiple messages to send a single acknowledge message for multiple received messages. By using a sliding send window to communicate with other computer systems in the cluster, the communication traffic in the cluster is greatly reduced, thereby enhancing the overall performance of the cluster. In addition, the latency between multiple messages sent concurrently is dramatically reduced.
摘要翻译：集群计算机系统包括经由一个或多个网络耦合在一起的多个计算机系统（或节点），其可以成为组的成员以在特定任务上工作。每个节点包括集群引擎，包括滑动发送窗口的集群通信机制以及处理消息的一个或多个服务任务。滑动发送窗口允许节点发送多个消息，而不等待每个消息的单独确认。滑动发送窗口还允许接收到多个消息的节点向多个接收到的消息发送单个确认消息。通过使用滑动发送窗口与群集中的其他计算机系统通信，群集中的通信流量大大降低，从而提高群集的整体性能。此外，同时发送的多个消息之间的延迟显着降低。

摘要： According to the present invention, a communications protocol supporting cluster configurations more complex than a single LAN is disclosed. A cluster destination address table (CDAT) is used in conjunction with a network message servicer to communicate between computer systems in a cluster. Each computer system preferably contains a cluster servicer, a CDAT, and a network message servicer. The CDAT contains network addresses, status and adapter information for each computer system in a cluster. Although computer systems may have alternate network addresses when they have multiple adapters, the CDAT indexes primary and alternate address information under a single named system. Thus, redundant connections amongst computer systems are identified, while still using the numeric addresses upon which the network message servicer is based. To send a message using the methods of the present invention, the cluster servicer retrieves a network address for a computer system from a CDAT. A message to be sent and the retrieved address are passed to the network message servicer, preferably an Internet Protocol suite. The network message servicer formats the information into a packet and routes the packet.
摘要翻译：根据本发明，公开了支持比单个LAN更复杂的集群配置的通信协议。集群目的地址表（CDAT）与网络消息服务器结合使用，以在集群中的计算机系统之间进行通信。每个计算机系统优选地包含集群服务器，CDAT和网络消息服务器。 CDAT包含集群中每个计算机系统的网络地址，状态和适配器信息。虽然计算机系统在具有多个适配器时可能具有备用网络地址，但CDAT将在单个命名系统下索引主地址和备用地址信息。因此，在仍然使用网络消息服务器所基于的数字地址的同时，识别计算机系统之间的冗余连接。要使用本发明的方法发送消息，集群服务器从CDAT检索计算机系统的网络地址。要发送的消息和检索到的地址被传递到网络消息服务器，优选地是因特网协议套件。网络消息服务器将信息格式化为数据包，并对数据包进行路由。

摘要： In a clustered computer system with multiple power domains, a bus number manager within each power domain manages multiple nodes independently of other power domains. A node within a specified power domain includes a non-volatile memory that includes bus numbering information for its own buses as well as bus numbering information for two of its logically-interconnected neighbors. This creates a distributed database of the interconnection topology for each power domain. Because a node contains bus numbering information about its logical neighbor node(s), the bus numbers for the buses in the nodes are made persistent across numerous different system reconfigurations. The clustered computer system also includes a bus number manager that reads the non-volatile memories in the nodes during initial program load (i.e., boot) that reconstructs the interconnection topology from the information read from the non-volatile memories, and that assigns bus numbers to the buses according to the derived interconnection topology.
摘要翻译：在具有多个电源域的集群计算机系统中，每个电源域内的总线号管理器独立于其他电源域管理多个节点。指定功率域中的节点包括非易失性存储器，其包括用于其自己的总线的总线编号信息以及其逻辑上互连的两个邻居中的两个的总线编号信息。这为每个电源域创建了互连拓扑的分布式数据库。因为节点包含有关其逻辑相邻节点的总线编号信息，所以节点中总线的总线号在多个不同的系统重新配置之间被持久化。集群计算机系统还包括总线编号管理器，其在初始程序加载（即引导）期间读取节点中的非易失性存储器，其根据从非易失性存储器读取的信息重构互连拓扑，并且分配总线编号根据导出的互连拓扑到总线。
