Distributed application load distribution aid tool

An open computing system including a central client system and a plurality of server systems connected through a network, wherein the servers each include load calculators for calculating the load on the server at predetermined first sampling instants, a load rate calculator for determining the progress rate of the load on each server and memory for storing the load and the progress rage. The client includes means for polling, which at predetermined second sampling instants, requests each server to furnish the progress rate of the load and an average load over a predetermined number of first sampling instances, memory for storing the progress rate of the load and the average load, and a server selector for selecting the least loaded server to provide services for an application running on the client. The system optimizes the selection of servers in a multi-server system.

Open computing system with multiple servers

A process for protecting software written for a computer (ORD) in interpreted language, in which the program is written in uncoded form in a script file (FSI), and a compiled code (EXECI) is generated from the content of this file (FSI). This compiled code (EXECI) is then executed, which creates a pipeline (PI) for communicating with an interpreter (INTI) associated with the language used in this file (FSI). The interpreter is supplied through this pipeline (PI), with the content of the initial script file. The interpreter reads the content and executes it in the computer (ORD).

System for protecting computer software written in interpreted language

The invention relates to a process for simulating, in a network, a server architecture from a client architecture in a first machine (PS) for the execution of remote procedure calls (RPC sent by at least one machine with client architecture (CL). In this this process, the first machine (PS) initially sends an RPC call to a third machine with server architecture (RE) which is used as a relay machine between the first (PS) and the second (CL) machines, and this RPC call opens a communication context for the sequence of exchanges while the first machine (PS) blocks itself on standby for a return of the RPC call. When the second machine (CL) sends an RPC call which represents a predetermined function to be executed by the first machine (PS), this call is transmitted to the relay machine (RE) which, after recognizing the function, retransmits it to the first machine (PS) through a return of the blocked RPC call. The first machine (PS) then requests the input parameters of the function to be executed, which are known to the relay machine (RE), then executes the function upon their reception by furnishing the result as an output parameter to the second machine (CL) via the relay machine (RE).

Process for simulating a server architecture from a client architecture

A process for monitoring the acknowledgement of a request to execute a command script (script) through a non-guaranteed protocol (S.N.M.P.), in an information system (SI) in a network (RE) comprising a manager (GE) and agents (AG1) for executing commands, wherein the manager first sends the agent in charge of executing the command script a ticket request using a command (Get mrsGetTK) of the 'get' type, and the agent returns (GetResponse) a ticket to the manager, the manager then sends the execution request to the agent using a command (Set mrsExecute cmd TK) of the 'set' type, for which the ticket it a parameter, then the agent verifies the validity of the request and creates an instance for the execution of the command associated with the ticket and the manager then verifies proper reception of the request by scanning (Get mrsStatus) the instance using the agent. The instant invention is particularly applicable to heterogeneous information systems.

Application integration architecture for a data processing platform

The invention relates to an address conversion process for porting a telecommunications application APP from the TCP/IP network to the OSI/CO network, and to an address conversion module used in this process. In a known manner, access to the networks is authorized by way of a 'socket' interface (SOC) for the TCP/IP network, and an 'XTI' interface for the OSI/CO network. In a notable manner, the 'socket' interface calls (SC), like a plurality of system cells (SY), are in a first time period oriented, at the moment of the link editing phase prior to obtaining the executable, to a module (W) for automatic address conversion of the library type. This module (W) then performs the conversion of the addresses specific to the TCP/IP network into addresses of the OSI/CO network and enables the passage from the TCP/IP protocol to the OSI/CO protocol. After conversion, the calls are transmitted to the 'XTI' interface and can be used directly in the OSI/CO network. Only the calls intended for the TCP/IP network are processed; all other calls (NT) are returned to the system.
