Unfortunately, frequent and unexpectable network failures were routine, and downtime was not in hours, but in days. High availability has become the most important factor decreasing business risk and improving Quality of Service. Cluster technology has solved the non-stop problem on Local Area Network. However, most technologies including cluster today fail to ensure the non-stop Internet service based on Routers. With good performance on high availability and fault tolerance, quorum systems are very suitable for application to distributed business service networks. In this work, we modeled and developed a non-stop Internet service system based on a new quorum system, circle quorum system, for Boston Mutual Fund Broker, US. With five protocols, it provided highly available data services for clients on Internet.展开更多

However, in dataflow architecture, the swapping of two buffers during the execution of many tiles decreases the performance because of repetitive filling and draining of the dataflow accelerator. In this work, we propose a non-stop double buffering mechanism for dataflow architecture. The proposed non-stop mechanism assigns tiles to the processing element array without stopping the execution of processing elements through optimizing control logic in dataflow architecture. Moreover, we propose a work-flow program to cooperate with the non-stop double buffering mechanism. After optimizations both on control logic and on work-flow program, the filling and draining of the array needs to be done only once across the execution of all tiles belonging to the same dataflow graph. Experimental results show that the proposed double buffering mechanism for dataftow architecture achieves a 16.2% average efficiency improvement over that without the optimization.展开更多
