The present invention provides for multiplexing applications. In particular, an access receives a request from a user to access an application. Based on the received request, the access server establishes a communication link between the access server and the user. The access request is stored in an input request queue when an available communication path to the requested application is available. The communication path between the input request queue and the application is established, the stored request is removed and sent to the application.

A computer system includes a memory hub controller coupled to a plurality of memory modules. The memory hub controller includes a memory request queue that couples memory requests and corresponding request identifier to the memory modules. Each of the memory modules accesses memory devices based on the memory requests and generates response status signals from the request identifier when the corresponding memory request is serviced. These response status signals are coupled from the memory modules to the memory hub controller along with or separate from any read data. The memory hub controller uses the response status signal to control the coupling of memory requests to the memory modules and thereby control the number of outstanding memory requests in each of the memory modules.

A system and method for dynamically producing virtual machines (VMs) across a plurality of servers in the virtual server environment is provided. A single VM request queue is produced comprising VM requests for producing the plurality of VMs. A processing thread is produced and assigned for each server and retrieves VM requests from the VM request queue and produces VMs only on the assigned server according to the retrieved VM requests. Each processing thread may be configured for retrieving VM requests and producing VMs without any programmed delays, whereby the rate at which a processing thread produces VMs on its assigned server is a function of the performance capabilities of the assigned server. This dynamic allocation of VMs based on such a “natural selection” technique may provide an appropriately balanced allocation of VMs based on the performance capabilities of each server in the virtual server environment.

A system and method for servicing translation lookaside buffer (TLB) misses may manage separate input and output pipelines within a memory management unit. A pending request queue (PRQ) in the input pipeline may include an instruction-related portion storing entries for instruction TLB (ITLB) misses and a data-related portion storing entries for potential or actual data TLB (DTLB) misses. A DTLB PRQ entry may be allocated to each load/store instruction selected from the pick queue. The system may select an ITLB- or DTLB-related entry for servicing dependent on prior PRQ entry selection(s). A corresponding entry may be held in a translation table entry return queue (TTERQ) in the output pipeline until a matching address translation is received from system memory. PRQ and/or TTERQ entries may be deallocated when a corresponding TLB miss is serviced. PRQ and/or TTERQ entries associated with a thread may be deallocated in response to a thread flush.

The subsystem includes logic to detect work requests on a host interface bus to at least one of specified address ranges corresponding to one of the virtual queues and logic to place the work requests into a real queue that is memory based and shared among at least some of the plurality of virtual queues, and wherein real queue entries include indications of the virtual queue to which the work request was addressed.

A method, system, and program product that enable dynamic scheduling/arranging of access by multiple users to a single electronic file. A network-database access management utility (NAMU) is provided, which manages/schedules network-level access to the electronic file. NAMU includes an access-request queue that schedules/arranges the user identifier (IDs) for each of multiple users that have requested access to the file while the file was checked out to a previous user.

A system and method are provided for dynamically determining the priority of requests for access to a resource taking into account changes in the access needs of a requesting agent over time. A requesting agent selects a priority level from a plurality of priority selections to include with a priority request to an arbiter. Work requests requiring the access to a resource may be stored in a work request queue. The priority level may be dynamic. The dynamic priority level enables the agent to sequentially increase or decrease the priority level of a priority request when threshold values representing the number of work requests in the work request queue are reached. The threshold values which cause the priority level to be increased may be higher than the threshold values which cause the priority level to be decreased to provide hysteresis. The dynamic priority level may, alternatively, enable the agent to start a timer for timing a pending priority request for a predetermined time period. The priority level of the priority request is increased if the priority request has not been granted before the timer expires.

The system and methods described herein may be used to implement a scalable, hierarchal, queue-based lock using flat combining. A thread executing on a processor core in a cluster of cores that share a memory may post a request to acquire a shared lock in a node of a publication list for the cluster using a non-atomic operation. A combiner thread may build an ordered (logical) local request queue that includes its own node and nodes of other threads (in the cluster) that include lock requests. The combiner thread may splice the local request queue into a (logical) global request queue for the shared lock as a sub-queue. A thread whose request has been posted in a node that has been combined into a local sub-queue and spliced into the global request queue may spin on a lock ownership indicator in its node until it is granted the shared lock.

The invention discloses a method for achieving dynamic partitioning and load balancing of a data-partitioning distributed environment. According to the invention, the method can achieve the local load balancing by basic data unit dynamic combination, namely dynamic partitioning, so as to make the partition granularity meet the system operation requirement. Therefore, the method solves the problemof load balancing time limitation resulting from over-large granularity of a fixed partitioning method. The method provided by the invention has wide applicability by using a partition request queue and a scarce resource queue model to analyze node loads. A local monitor provided in the invention can dynamically adjust the number of partitions after the system achieves load balance so as to achieve self-adaptive adjustment of the partitions inside nodes, thereby improving the resource utilization rate inside the nodes and further improving the work efficiency of the entire system.
