Data synchronization method for redundant server systems
The patent US12013798B2 outlines a method and system for data synchronization within a redundant server architecture, comprising an active input/output module (IOM) and a passive IOM. The active IOM features a primary processing unit and multiple primary dedicated sensors, while the passive IOM includes a secondary processing unit and secondary dedicated sensors. The primary processing unit allocates a primary transfer buffer in its memory, while the secondary processing unit allocates a corresponding secondary transfer buffer. The method involves collecting sensor data from both primary and secondary sensors, updating the primary state data based on this collected data, and subsequently storing the updated data in the secondary transfer buffer. The system is designed to ensure that both memory devices are volatile and rewritable, facilitating efficient data handling.
Additionally, the patent describes the integration of a share bus connecting various components, including primary and secondary share sensors, which further enriches the data synchronization process. The primary processing unit is responsible for collecting data from these share sensors and updating the primary state data accordingly. The communication between the primary and secondary processing units is facilitated through an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) bus, allowing for seamless data transfer. The method also specifies that the allocation of transfer buffers occurs within the kernel driver layer of a Linux operating system, ensuring compatibility and efficient memory management. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to data synchronization in redundant server systems, emphasizing reliability and efficiency in data handling.
