Computer Architecture Utilizing Layered Device Drivers
view source
US Patent:

6832379, Dec 14, 2004
Filed:

Aug 17, 1999
Appl. No.:

09/375331
Inventors:

David Zeryck - Chelmsford MA
Dave Harvey - Newton MA
Jeffrey Lucovsky - Cary NC
Assignee:

EMC Corporation - Hopkinton MA
International Classification:

G06F 900
US Classification:

719327, 719321, 717168
Abstract:

A computer storage architecture utilizing layered device drivers enables a user to create and install a device driver into a computer. The device driver is installed into the storage unit through a registration process. In order to permit the user to specify a device driver stack for the device driver and specify the relative position of the device driver within the device driver stack, a novel layered device driver registration system that is separate from a operating system device driver registration system is utilized. The layered device driver registration system enables the user to install one or more device drivers and to specify the placement of each device driver by relative to the other device drivers in various device driver stacks. The layered device driver registration system allows a device driver to be dynamically inserted into or removed from a particular device driver stack.

US Patent:

6868450, Mar 15, 2005
Filed:

May 17, 2000
Appl. No.:

09/572803
Inventors:

Jeffrey A. Lucovsky - Cary NC, US
Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX
International Classification:

G06F015/16
US Classification:

709229, 709225, 709321, 710 36, 711118, 711133, 711154, 713154, 713201
Abstract:

A system and method for a process attribute based computer network filter assigns a process attribute to a process executing on a computing device and assigns a network attribute to a network interface card (NIC) associated with the computing device. When the process desires to send a communication packet to another process on a different computing device over a network to which the NIC is connected, the process sends an application program interface (API) system call to the NIC. The API call is intercepted by a system call trap handler, which, in cooperation with a session filter driver and a network filter driver, determines the process attribute associated with the process and the network attribute associated with the NIC. If the session filter driver and the network filter driver, in cooperation with the system call trap handler, determine that the process attribute and the network attribute correspond, then the communication packet is allowed to pass to the network. Similarly, a packet received over the network is processed by the session filter driver and the network filter driver to determine whether the packet can pass to the process to which the received packet is destined.

System, Device And Method For Interprocessor Communication In A Computer System

US Patent:

7013465, Mar 14, 2006
Filed:

Aug 17, 1999
Appl. No.:

09/376173
Inventors:

Alan L. Taylor - Cary NC, US
Jeffrey Lucovsky - Cary NC, US
Karl Owen - Chapel Hill NC, US
Assignee:

EMC Corporation - Hopkinton MA
International Classification:

G06F 3/00
US Classification:

719313, 719315, 719330
Abstract:

A system, device, and method for interprocessor communication in a computer system utilizes a special Message Passing Service (MPS) to provide interprocessor communications. The MPS enables a client application running on one processor in a computer to communicate with a target application running a different processor in the same or a different computer. In order for the client application to communicate with the target application, the client application establishes a session to the target application over an existing communication link using the MPS. The MPS provides for both synchronous and asynchronous communication services. When the client application establishes the session to the target application, the client application specifies, among other things, a “callback” routine. The MPS invokes the “callback” routine to report certain asynchronous events to the client application. The MPS blocks the client application during certain synchronous operations so that the client application does not proceed until the synchronous operation is completed.
