Server-processor hybrid system for processing data
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for processing data, comprising:
- receiving the data from an external source on a front-end server;
sending the data from the front-end server to a back-end application optimized processor via an interface embodied in the front-end server, the interface having a set of network interconnects by selectively invoking a push model or a pull model,wherein the push model is selectively invoked when the data to be transmitted includes a first data type, andwherein the pull model is selectively invoked when the data to be transmitted includes a second data type that is distinct from the first data type;
processing the data on the back-end application optimized processor to yield processed data; and
receiving the processed data from the back-end application optimized processor on the front-end server.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a server-processor hybrid system that comprises (among other things) a set (one or more) of front-end servers (e.g., mainframes) and a set of back-end application optimized processors. Moreover, implementations of the invention provide a server and processor hybrid system and method for distributing and managing the execution of applications at a fine-grained level via an I/O-connected hybrid system. This method allows one system to be used to manage and control the system functions, and one or more other systems to co-processor.

6. A method for deploying a server-processor hybrid system for processing data, comprising:
providing a computer infrastructure being configured to; receive the data from an external source on a front-end server; send the data from the front-end server to a back-end application optimized processor via an interface embodied in the front-end server, the interface having a set of network interconnects by selectively invoking a push model or a pull model, wherein the push model is selectively invoked when the data to be transmitted includes a first data type, and wherein the pull model is selectively invoked when the data to be transmitted includes a second data type that is distinct from the first data type; process the data on the back-end application optimized processor to yield processed data; and receive the processed data from the back-end application optimized processor on the front-end server. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
