Computing Device and Method For Use in the Computing Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18432327 titled 'Computing Device and Method For Use in the Computing Device

Simplified Explanation

A computing device in a cluster system is configured to operate as a server, with the ability to store redo and/or undo information in both its local memory and the local memory of a second computing device, thereby mirroring the information.

  • The computing device includes a controller, local memory, and a communications interface.
  • The communications interface connects to a second computing device and a shared memory for data storage.
  • The controller receives commands from a client, determines redo and/or undo information related to the command, and stores this information in both local memories for redundancy.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • High availability systems
  • Data replication systems
  • Disaster recovery solutions

Problems Solved

This technology helps solve:

  • Data loss in case of hardware failure
  • Ensuring data consistency across multiple servers

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved data reliability
  • Enhanced fault tolerance
  • Increased system resilience

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be commercially applied in:

  • Cloud computing services
  • Database management systems
  • Enterprise storage solutions

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be:

  • Database mirroring techniques used in traditional server setups.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact system performance?

The article does not delve into the potential performance implications of mirroring redo and/or undo information in both local memories.

What are the security implications of storing data in multiple locations?

The article does not address the security considerations of having redo and/or undo information mirrored in different local memories.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computing device is configured to operate as a server in a cluster system. The computing device includes a controller, a local memory and a communications interface. The communications interface is configured to connect to a second computing device and to connect to a shared memory configured to store data. The controller is configured to receive a command from a client and determine redo and/or undo information relating to the command. The controller is further configured to store the redo and/or undo information in the local memory and to store the redo and/or undo information in the local memory of the second computing device, thereby mirroring the redo and/or undo information, where the local memory is a persistent memory.
