A tamper resistant servicing Agent for providing various services (e.g., data delete, firewall protection, data encryption, location tracking, message notification, and updating software) comprises multiple functional modules, including a loader module (CLM) that loads and gains control during POST, independent of the OS, an Adaptive Installer Module (AIM), and a Communications Driver Agent (CDA). Once control is handed to the CLM, it loads the AIM, which in turn locates, validates, decompresses and adapts the CDA for the detected OS environment. The CDA exists in two forms, a mini CDA that determines whether a full or current CDA is located somewhere on the device, and if not, to load the full-function CDA from a network; and a full-function CDA that is responsible for all communications between the device and the monitoring server. The servicing functions can be controlled by a remote server.

The invention provides an off-the-shelf product solution to target the specific needs of commercial users with naturally parallel applications. A top-level, public API provides a simple “compute server” or “task farm” model that dramatically accelerates integration and deployment. A number of described and claimed adaptive scheduling and caching techniques provide for efficient resource and/or network utilization of intermittently-available and interruptible computing resource in distributed computing systems.

A tamper resistant software Agent for enabling, supporting and/or providing various services (e.g., tracking assets; data delete and updating software) comprises multiple functional modules, including a loader module (CLM) that loads and gains control during POST, independent of the OS, an Adaptive Installer Module (AIM), and a Communications Driver Agent (CDA). Once control is handed to the CLM, it loads the AIM, which in turn locates, validates, decompresses and adapts the CDA for the detected OS environment. The CDA exists in two forms, a mini CDA that determines whether a full or current CDA is located somewhere on the device, and if not, to load the full-function CDA from a network; and a full-function CDA that is responsible for all communications between the device and the monitoring server. In another aspect, the servicing functions that the Agent performs can be controlled by a remote server, by combining generic sub-function calls available in the Agent. This programmable capability of the Agent allow its functionality to be extended based on server-driven commands.

A distributed lock management method based on a storage area network SAN belongs to the network storage field. The distributed lock management method is characterized in that all node servers of a cluster form multiple master-slave mode sub-clusters, namely, Quorum; one node in the sub-clusters is used as the master server and the other nodes are slave servers; the multiple sub-clusters include one State Quorum and a plurality of Lock Quorums, which are respectively in charge of the management of the birth-death state of the system nodes and the management of a read-write visit lock in a name space; the State Quorum is formed by all the nodes and the Lock Quorum is formed by nodes of arbitrary number, the sizes and the structures of the State Quorum and the Lock Quorum can be flexibly configured by the client; both the State Quorum and the Lock Quorum follow the sub-cluster detection protocol, and all the nodes can select the only master server in the Quorum through the protocol to configure a normal Quorum; all the Lock Quorums respectively manages the different sections of the name space, are not overlapped and are respectively vested with different weights according to different service capacities; all the Lock Quorums independently count the load conditions, therefore when the lock management task charged by one Lock Quorum is too heavy, the load balancing process is triggered to distribute part task of the Lock Quorum to the other Lock Quorums. The invention is easy for flexible configuration and has good properties, high extensibility and high reliability.
