Abstract

Operating a message distribution can include end-to-end partitioning of message pathways and/or multiple priority levels with interrupt capability.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising operating a message distribution system includes end-to-end partitioning of message pathways. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein there are at least three priority levels with interrupt capability. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein there is support for cooperative working groups. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising sub-partitioning of message pathways. 
     
     
         5 . A non-transitory computer readable media comprising executable programming instructions for performing the method of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         6 . An apparatus, comprising: a message distribution system including a data distribution module and at least two host-bus adapters coupled to the data distribution module, wherein the message distribution system includes end-to-end partitioning of message pathways. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , further comprising a computing, storage or networking element coupled to each of the at least two host-bus adapters. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , further comprising another data distribution module coupled to the data distribution module. 
     
     
         9 . A network, comprising the apparatus of  claim 6 . 
     
     
         10 . An interconnect fabric, comprising the apparatus of  claim 6   
     
     
         11 . A method, comprising operating a message distribution system includes multiple priority levels with interrupt capability. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11  wherein there is end-to-end partitioning of message pathways. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein there is support for cooperative working groups. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising. 
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory computer readable media comprising executable programming instructions for performing the method of  claim 11 . 
     
     
         16 . An apparatus, comprising: a message distribution system including a data distribution module and at least two host-bus adapters coupled to the data distribution module, wherein the message distribution system includes multiple priority levels with interrupt capability. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 16 , further comprising a computing, storage or networking element coupled to each of the at least two host-bus adapters. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 16 , further comprising another data distribution module coupled to the data distribution module. 
     
     
         19 . A network, comprising the apparatus of  claim 16 . 
     
     
         20 . An interconnect fabric, comprising the apparatus of  claim 16
