Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

719315

Abstract:

Methods, apparatus, and products are disclosed for computer data communications in a high speed, low latency data communications environment that include: brokering, by a stream administration server, establishment of a message stream from a contributing client device to a feed adapter, including authenticating the contributing client device, authorizing the contributing client device to send messages to the feed adapter on the message stream, and establishing in messaging middleware of the contributing client device a set of constraints on messages to be transmitted from the contributing client device to the feed adapter; receiving, in the messaging middleware of the contributing client device from an application of the contributing client device, a message for transmission to the feed adapter on the message stream; determining, by the messaging middleware, whether contents of the message satisfy the constraints; and administering the message, by the messaging middleware, in dependence upon whether the message satisfies the constraints.

US Classification:

37920104

Abstract:

Methods, apparatus, and products are disclosed for dispatching a message request to a service provider in a messaging environment that include: establishing, on a message administration device, a plurality of lookup tables for mapping request types to service providers; receiving, in the message administration device from a message requesting device, a message request of one of the request types; identifying, by the message administration device, the service provider for processing the message request in dependence upon the message request and the plurality of lookup tables; and providing, by the message administration device, the message request to the identified service provider.

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

719313

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and products for subscribing for application messages in a multicast messaging environment as disclosed that include: requesting, by a message receiving device, a stream administration server to initialize a message subscription for application messages from a message sending device; receiving, in the message receiving device from the stream administration server, a data communications endpoint of a multicast message stream from the message sending device; beginning to listen, by the message receiving device, for the application messages at the data communications endpoint; and notifying, by the message receiving device after beginning to listen for the application messages, the message sending device to publish the application messages at the data communications endpoint.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709206

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for application message subscription tracking in a high speed, low latency data communications environment that includes: receiving, by a stream administration server from a subscribing client device, a subscription initiation request, the subscription initiation request specifying a message topic, the message topic specifying application messages for transmission to the subscribing client device from a message transmitting device; brokering, by the stream administration server, establishment of a message stream that provides the application messages for the specified message topic from the message transmitting device to the subscribing client device; and updating, by the stream administration server, a client subscription repository for monitoring application message subscriptions in dependence upon the subscription initiation request.

Abstract:

A method includes receiving, at a field programmable gate array (FPGA), one or more Ethernet packets of a message including control or status information associated with the FPGA. The method also includes determining, by the FPGA, a payload of each packet by removing at least one Ethernet header from the packet. The method further includes removing, by the FPGA, a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) header from each packet and determining UDP header metadata. The method also includes converting, by the FPGA based on the UDP header metadata, the packets to a read or write message associated with one or more registers of the FPGA. In addition, the method includes performing, by the FPGA, a read or write of the one or more registers of the FPGA according to the read or write message.
