Abstract

A distributed computing system includes a plurality of servers, each server comprising a processor to process computing treatments and a memory system to record and save graphs. The system also includes means of routing between servers and an interface server to treat requests from a plurality of users'"'"' equipment. Servers are organized in N layers of servers, building together a group of servers. Servers from a same layer present a ring topology, and each server has a communication protocol with the following server in the ring of the group of machines. The system also includes communication means with the routing server.

Claims

1. A distributed computing system made of a plurality of servers that contains a processor to process computing treatments and a memory to save graphs, routing means between all the servers, interface server to process requests from a plurality of equipments, wherein the plurality of servers is organized in N layers of servers, each layer containing a group of servers, with servers from the same layer organized in a ring topology, each server of the ring having a communication protocol with the following server inside the ring, each server of the group of machines having a communication protocol with a routing server to assure that:

each server of a layer communicates with each server of the adjacent lower layer;

each server of a layer comprising;

a memory cache to record and save graphs that are specific to a user or a group of users;

a memory cache to record and save hashed data that summarizes the content of graphs hosted in lower layers;

a memory cache to record and save ephemeral results of user'"'"'s operations and treatments, from lower layers and/or user layer; and

a memory cache to record and save ephemeral data gathered from the lower layers.

2. The distributed computing system of claim 1, wherein the upper layer of servers contains data partitions specific to each user.

3. The distributed computing system of claim 1, wherein the system contains an interface server, the interface server comprising interfacing means with the users'"'"' equipment.

4. The distributed computing system that of claim 1, wherein the system contains a SQL server, the SQL server managing access code of the users to secure the access to the personal user'"'"'s graphs.

5. The distributed computing system of claim 3, wherein the interface server comprises a computer comprising a multi-core processor to process requests in parallel from different users and run a server application that manages each user'"'"'s session in a different thread.

6. The distributed computing system of claim 5, wherein the interface server embeds cryptographic means to encrypt any routed information during each user'"'"'s session.

7. Distributed The distributed computing system of claim 3, wherein the interface server assures the decoupling between the servers of the different layers, the routing server and users'"'"' equipment to assure the protection of the data inside the system.

8. The distributed computing system of claim 3, wherein the interface server only communicates with the routing server, the upper layer of servers and the SQL server.

9. The distributed computing system of claim 7, wherein the interface server is made of a unique machine.

11. The requesting process of claim 3, wherein the requesting process comprises a progressive destruction mechanism of non-used information.

10. A requesting process in real time of a multilayer graph structured information system comprising a set of a group of server machines, a routing server and at least one database server, the group of server machines hosting data specific to the elements of the multilayer graph, the requesting process comprising:

instantiation steps of elements of the general multilayer versioned graph comprising;

selecting one of the servers depending on parameters such as CPU charge of each server, type of element, similarities between the filiation of the elements already instantiated in the server and filiation of the element to record in the selected server;

propagating the instantiation in the network of group of machines;

completion steps of the specific hosted data comprising recursively transferring the data between two adjacent layers of servers in response to a detection of a lack of information in an upper layer;

recording transferred data in a memory cache associated with servers of the lower and upper layers; and

data synchronization steps between lower and upper layers, preserving the integrity of the data structure when users are producing content.
