Technique for enabling operation of a computer system with a consistent state of a linked list data structure after a main memory failure
Operation of a computer system after a main memory failure is enabled by storing a read-only access shadow copy of its data structures in another memory having an independent failure mode. The shadow copy is periodically updated at a series of checkpoints. Where the data structure is a linked list,...

Zusammenfassung: | Operation of a computer system after a main memory failure is enabled by storing a read-only access shadow copy of its data structures in another memory having an independent failure mode. The shadow copy is periodically updated at a series of checkpoints. Where the data structure is a linked list, updating without recopying is enabled by prelinking the list item in the read-only list to the beginning of a second read/write list, which is appended to the first list at the next checkpoint. |
