A distributed processing system delegates the allocation and control of computing work units to agent applications running on computing resources including multi-processor and multi-core systems. The distributed processing system includes at least one agent associated with at least one computing resource. The distributed processing system creates work units corresponding with execution phases of applications. Work units can be associated with concurrency data that specifies how applications are executed on multiple processors and/or processor cores. The agent collects information about its associated computing resources and requests work units from the server using this information and the concurrency data. An agent can monitor the performance of executing work units to better select subsequent work units. The distributed processing system may also be implemented within a single computing resource to improve processor core utilization of applications. Additional computing resources can augment the single computing resource and execute pending work units at any time.

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for managing a rate of request for an object transmitted between a server and one or more clients via a multi-core intermediary device. A first core of the intermediary device can receive a request for an object and assume ownership of the object. The first core can store the object in shared memory along with a rate-related counter for the object and generate a hash to the object and counter. Other cores can obtain the hash from the first core and access the object and counter in shared memory. Policy engines and throttlers in operation on each core can control the rate of access to the stored object.

Described herein is a method and system for distributing request and responses across a multi-core system. Each core executes a packet engine that further processes data packets allocated to that core. A flow distributor executing within the multi-core system forwards client requests to a packet engine on a core that is selected based on a value generated when a hash is applied to a tuple comprising a client IP address, a client port, a server IP address and a server port identified in the request. The packet engine selects a first IP address and a first port of the core, and determines whether a hash of a tuple comprising those values identifies the selected core. A modification is then made to the client request so that the client request includes a tuple comprising the first IP address, the server IP address, the first port and the server port.

The present solution is directed towards systems and methods for managing cookies by a multi-core device. The device is intermediary to a client and one or more servers. A first core of a multi-core device receives a response from a server to a request of the client through a user session. The response comprises a cookie. The first core removes the cookie from the response and stores the cookie in a corresponding storage for the session. The first core forwards the response without the cookie to the client. A second core then receives via a session, a second request from the client. The second core determines the identification of the first core as owner of the session from the second request. The second core then communicates to the first core a third request for cookie information for the session.

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for handling limit parameters for multi-core systems. A pool manager divides the limited number of uses of a resource into an exclusive quota pool and a shared quota pool. Each packet processing engine operating on a core is allocated an exclusive number of uses of the resource from the exclusive quota pool. If a packet processing engine wishes to use the resource beyond its exclusive number, the packet processing engine must borrow from the shared quota pool.

A multi-core system that includes a 64-bit cache storage and a 32-bit memory storage that stores a 32-bit cache object directory. One or more cache engines execute on cores of the multi-core system to retrieve objects from the 64-bit cache, create cache directory objects, insert the created cache directory object into the cache object directory, and search for cache directory objects in the cache object directory. When an object is stored in the 64-bit cache, a cache engine can create a cache directory object that corresponds to the cached object and can insert the created cache directory object into an instance of a cache object directory. A second cache engine can receive a request to access the cached object and can identify a cache directory object in the instance of the cache object directory, using a hash key calculated based on one or more attributes of the cached object.

The present application is directed towards systems and methods for providing a cookie by an intermediary device comprising a plurality of packet processing engines executing on a corresponding plurality of cores, the cookie identifying a session of a user that was redirected responsive to a service exceeding a response time limit. The cookie may be generated with identifiers based off a name of a virtual server managing a service of a server, and a name of a policy associated with the virtual server. Each packet processing engine of the plurality of packet processing engines may interpret cookies generated by other packet processing engines due to the name of the virtual server and name of the policy, and may provide preferred client connectivity based on cookies included in requests for access to a service.

The present application is directed towards systems and methods for systems and methods for handling real-time streaming protocol sessions by an intermediary multi-core system. When a multi-core intermediary receives a setup request for a real-time streaming protocol session, the intermediary processes and forwards the request to a server providing the streaming media. The server sets up an RTSP session and transmits a session identification to the multi-core intermediary. A core of the intermediary receives the transmitted session identification and determines an owner core of the session, based on a hash of the session identification. The core transmits the session information to the determined owner core, which selects two consecutive ports on which to establish listening services. The owner core then notifies all other cores to establish listening services on the same consecutive ports, such that any core that receives an RTSP control message from a client can handle it properly.

Systems, devices, and configurations to implement trusted connections within wireless networks and associated devices and systems are generally disclosed herein. In some examples, a wireless local area network (WLAN) may be attached to a 3GPP evolved packet core (EPC) as a trusted access network, without use of an evolved packet data gateway (ePDG) and overhead from related tunneling and encryption. Information to create the trusted attachment between a mobile device and a WLAN may be exchanged using Access Network Query Protocol (ANQP) extensions defined by IEEE standard 802.11u-2011, or using other protocols or standards such as DHCP or EAP. A trusted WLAN container with defined data structure fields may be transferred in the ANQP elements to exchange information used in the establishment and operation of the trusted attachment.

Value based tokens are generated for inclusion on a data carrier which may be applied to a cheque or similar document. The tokens are generated by a core system, which communicates with application specific wrappers. The wrappers supply token parameters to the core that are specific to the application and the core generates the tokens, and stores them for later authentication. The core then encodes the tokens onto a data carrier under the control of the wrapper and distributes the tokens under the control of the wrapper. The tokens are encoded onto the cheque when it is printed. When a cheque is presented for authentication, for example by at a bank, the signed cheque is imaged and the token retrieved from the encoded data carrier. It is passed back to the core by the wrapper for authentication of its identification number and other parameters. The image may be sealed by a further data carrier which may be printed on the cheque or added to the electronic image. The further data carrier may include a separate token or have a token which is related to the first token. Where the data carrier is applied to the electronic image it may replace the first data carrier. The data stored on the carrier references cheque information stored at a database which is compared with cheque information retrieved from the cheque.

Transformations of digital records are used as lowest level inputs to a tree data structure having a root in a core system and having nodes computed as digital combinations of child node values. A combination of root values is published in a permanent medium. Signature vectors are associated with the digital records and have parameters that enable recomputation upward through the tree data structure to either a current root value or to the published value. Recomputation yields the same value only if a candidate digital record is an exact version of the original digital record included in the original computation of the value.

A method and system for generating a web log that includes transaction entries from transaction queues of one or more cores of a multi-core system. A transaction queue is maintained for each core so that either a packet engine or web logging client executing on the core can write transaction entries to the transaction queue. In some embodiments, a timestamp value obtained from a synchronized timestamp variable can be assigned to the transaction entries. When a new transaction entry is added to the transaction queue, the earliest transaction entry is removed from the transaction queue and added to a heap. Periodically the earliest entry in the heap is removed from the heap and written to a web log. When an entry is removed from the heap, the earliest entry in a transaction queue corresponding to the removed entry is removed from the transaction queue and added to the heap.
