Appl. No.:

16/706326

Inventors:

- PALO ALTO CA, US
John DRIVER - Sunnyvale CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 12/06
G06F 9/50
G06F 9/48

Abstract:

Techniques are disclosed to operate binary objects across private address spaces. In various embodiments, a private shared memory segment is allocated for two non-privileged address spaces, the first comprising a home address space and the second comprising a target address space. One or more executable modules are loaded in a private address space of the home address space. One or more program call routines and an environment to schedule system request blocks (SRB) are built in the home address space. The environment to schedule system request blocks is configured to be used to schedule an SRB into the target address space, the SRB comprising information configured to cause the target address space to cause an associated one of the executable modules to execute.

Abstract:

A system for scheduling and dispatching workload items between tasks can include an aggregated file structure and a task scheduler. The aggregated file structure comprises at least one logical partition with each partition having a secondary operating system and address spaces and a plurality of tasks executable therein. The task scheduler is executable from the primary operating system and can receive a service request from a task requesting an action from at least one other task and writing the action, a first task identifier, and at least one other task identifier to at least one private memory address associated with the other task or tasks. The service request action can be a start service request, a stop service request, a suspend service request, a resume service request, change the order of execution service request, or a change priority of executing tasks service request.
