Filed:

Dec 16, 2014

Appl. No.:

14/572484

Inventors:

Tom Weber - Raleigh NC, US
Paul Kent - Apex NC, US

Assignee:

SAS Institute Inc. - Cary NC

International Classification:

G06F 12/02

Abstract:

A computer-program causing a computing device to transmit, from a data transfer thread of a multitude of data transfer threads executed within a data storage cluster and to a distribution thread at a network address on a network, a request for an assignment of an exchange of data with at least one computation thread of a multitude of computation threads executed within a data processing cluster; exchange a block of data with a single computation thread of the multitude of computation threads in response to receipt of an assignment to exchange the block of data with the single computation thread; and exchange multiple blocks of data with multiple computation threads of the multitude of computation threads in a round robin manner among the multiple computation threads in response to receipt of an assignment to exchange the multiple blocks of data with the multiple computation threads.

Abstract:

A computer-program causing a computing device to transmit a command to a data storage cluster for multiple data transfer threads thereof to request assignment of a data transfer from a distribution thread; await receipt of a request for assignment from a data transfer thread; compare the quantity data transfer threads to the quantity of computation threads of a data processing cluster; assign to the data transfer thread an exchange of a block of data with a single computation thread in response to receipt of the request and to the multitude of data transfer threads comprising a greater quantity of threads than the multitude of computation threads; and assign to the data transfer thread exchanges of multiple blocks of data with multiple computation threads in response to receipt of the request and to the multitude of data transfer threads comprising a lesser quantity of threads than the multitude of computation threads.
