Abstract

A protocol chip transmits the request from the host apparatus to a first processor through a first address translation unit. A first processor transmits a response to the request from the host apparatus, to the protocol chip through the first address translation unit. When the first processor stops processing, an instruction to transmit the request from the host apparatus to a second processor is transmitted to the protocol chip. When receiving the instruction to transmit the request from the host apparatus to the second processor, the protocol chip transmits the request from the host apparatus to the second processor through a second address translation unit. The second processor transmits the response to the request from the host apparatus to the protocol chip through the second address translation unit.

Abstract

In failover processing, a CPU restores data stored in a first volume to a second volume of a storage system, associates a unique ID of the first volume with the second volume, and stores the unique ID associated therewith in a memory. After the failover processing is completed, the CPU manages an update difference management bitmap indicating an updated content with respect to data stored in the second volume. The CPU transmits, in failback processing, update data updated after the failover processing among the data stored in the second volume to the first volume identified by the unique ID associated with the second volume based on the update difference management bitmap.

Abstract

In a compression mode in which plaintext data is input, and compressed, a first code that is an error detection code is generated with respect to the plaintext data, and compressed. A circuit generates restored plaintext data in which the compressed data is decompressed, for confirming successfulness. A second code that is an error detection code is generated with respect to the restored plaintext data and is compared with the first code. In a case where the first code and the second code agree, the compressed data and the first or second code are output. In a decompression mode, plaintext data is generated in which the input compressed data is decompressed. A third code that is an error detection code is generated with respect to the plaintext data and is compared with an input code, and when the input code and the third code agree, the plaintext data is output.

Abstract

To improve resource utilization efficiency of query compliance check, which is check as to whether a query complies with a restriction imposed on data. The query compliance check is roughly divided into data flow policy check as to whether a data flow policy that defines a restriction on data transfer within a county or between countries is complied with, and organization rule check as to whether an organization rule that defines a restriction on sharing outside an organization is complied with, which are hierarchically configured. By analyzing a received query, a system identifies one or more data items as target input/output (I/O) data according to the query, and executes the data flow policy check on the identified one or more data items. When a result of the data flow policy check is false, the system returns a result that the query is compliance violation without executing the organization rule check.

Abstract

The processing load for joining a plurality of tables by hash join is reduced for a computer system in which the CPU of a node creates a partial bloom filter that manages a first table hash value of a joining key of a row corresponding to a query in an assigned row of a build table. An integrated bloom filter is created from a plurality of partial bloom filters, and a second table hash value of the joining key of the row corresponding to the condition of the query among the rows of a probe table is calculated. The row of the probe table is transmitted to the node containing a row of the build table of the join hash value for that row when the integrated bloom filter includes an identical first table hash value, and an integrated joined table is created and returned to the query request source.

Abstract

A protocol chip writes a request from a host apparatus to a shared memory. One of the plurality of processors reads the request from the host apparatus from the shared memory through an address translation unit and writes a response to the request to the shared memory through the address translation unit. The protocol chip reads the response from the shared memory and sends the response to the host apparatus. In the case where a first processor reboots, the first processor performs a reboot process of a first address translation unit but does not perform the reboot process of the shared memory. A second processor reads a first request addressed to the first processor from the host apparatus through a second address translation unit and writes a first response to the first request to the shared memory through the second address translation unit.
