Software configured to receive a first record is provided. The first record includes first record data, a first identification code in an identification code field, a first hash in a record hash field, and a second hash in a previous record pointer field. The first hash is calculated based on the first record data, the first identification code, and the second hash. The second hash is included in a record hash field of a second record. The second record includes the first identification code in its identification code field. A first block is generated having the first record in a first record field, a third hash in a block hash field, and a fourth hash in a previous block pointer field. The third hash is calculated based on the first record and the fourth hash. The fourth hash is included in a block hash field of a second block. The second block is part of a main ledger that includes a third block having the second record in its record field. The third block is positioned prior to the second block in the main ledger.

Nested ledger

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a network monitoring device for a supercomputer system having a plurality of supercomputer nodes. The network monitoring device may utilize plug-in software modules to provide network monitoring capabilities related to discovering the network topologies of the supercomputer system, determining network and computing resources that are available for new applications in the supercomputer system, collecting network and computing resources that are being used by running software applications in the supercomputer system, and monitoring running software applications on the supercomputer system.

Network monitoring tool for allocating nodes of supercomputers

A program product comprising a non-transitory processor readable medium having software stored thereon. The software, when executed by one or more processing devices, is configured to merge a first distributed ledger with a second distributed ledger to form a merged ledger. The first ledger consists of a first beginning subset of blocks followed by a first end subset of blocks. The second ledger consists of a second beginning subset of blocks followed by a second end subset of blocks. The first beginning subset of blocks is identical to the second beginning subset of blocks and the first end subset of blocks is different than the second end subset of blocks. The merged ledger includes the first beginning subset of blocks followed by blocks corresponding to the first end subset of blocks and the second end subset of blocks.

Zero-loss merging of distributed ledgers

A method for improving data flow and data security in an existing wireless communications network comprising a central node and a plurality of remote nodes, during band-width-limiting conditions, the method including generating, by a processor at the central node, a hybrid network overlay to the existing wireless communications network, the hybrid network overlay including a remote overlay node for each remote node and a central overly node for the central node. The method further includes maintaining a distributed ledger having a blockchain architecture, the distributed ledger storing data transmitted among the central node and the remote nodes, including designating remote nodes as super nodes comprising using a link sensing mechanism and remote node processing characteristics to identify remote nodes having links with sufficient bandwidth and sufficient processing capacity to aggregate transactions and validate blocks, each super node participating in a block validation process using the hybrid network overlay.

Decentralized ledger system and method for enterprises

Software implementing a distributed ledger that adjusts in response disconnected peers is provided. The software implements an overlay routing protocol to monitor one or more overlay links between a first peer and one or more second peers that are maintaining a distributed ledger. The software adjusts how blocks for the distributed ledger are formed in response to detecting the one or more second peers becoming disconnected from the peer.

Distributed ledger adjustment in response to disconnected peer

Software generates a ledger fragment by generating a first block having first data in a first record data field, a nonce value in a first previous block pointer field, and a first hash in a first hash field. Generating the ledger fragment also includes generating a second block having second data in a second record data field, the first hash in a second previous block pointer field, and a second hash in a second hash field. The ledger fragment is appended to a main ledger with a linking block. The linking block is positioned between the first block of the ledger fragment and an end block of the main ledger. The linking block includes a third hash from the end block in a fourth previous block pointer field and the nonce value in a fourth hash field. The linking block is signed by a plurality of voting peers.

Parallel distributed ledger construction

Network monitoring tool for supercomputers

A computer-implemented method for managing enterprise transactions includes creating an overlay to a physical communications network, adding one or more nodes to the overlay, designating one or more nodes of the overlay as super nodes, generating a distributed ledger to store the transactions, and replicating the distributed ledger to all nodes of the overlay. Generating the distributed ledger includes receiving, at the super nodes, transactions from the one or more nodes, assigning, by the super nodes, the transactions to a variable size block, validating, by the super nodes, the variable size block, and linking the validated variable size block to the distributed ledger.

Systems and methods of network monitoring for supercomputers and supercomputer nodes

This disclosure is directed to techniques for internet group management protocol tunneling. This may be done by electing, by each of a plurality of multicast gateways in a subnet, a designated router in the subnet. The designated router sends internet group management protocol queries to at least one router in the subnet. The designated router further tunnels internet group management protocol reports.

Adaptive multicast network communications

A device-implemented network with domains each having nodes, the nodes of each of the domains sharing network information with one another according to an intra-domain communication policy. An inter-domain protocol is configured to control communication between at least one of the nodes of one of the domains and at least one of the nodes of a different one of the domains. A broker is configured to be communicatively coupled to the nodes and configured to control communication according to the inter-domain protocol and to which all of the nodes of each of the plurality of domains are configured to send the network information.
