TL;DR: In this article, the master host determines the status of each subordinate host based on published heartbeats, distinguishing between entirely inoperative and operative but partitioned (e.g., unreachable via the network).
Patent
Selecting a master node using a suitability value
TL;DR: In this paper, a deterministic algorithm based on scores and timings is executed by each computing node to encourage each node to select the same master node in a group of computing nodes.
Patent
Elastic temporary filesystem
TL;DR: An elastic filesystem for temporary data as discussed by the authors provides storage space for virtual machines (VMs) in a distributed computing system by redirecting accesses to virtual disks in VMs to a common pool file.
Patent
Transparent memory address remapping
TL;DR: In this article, the second identifiers are initially mapped into the second memory space, but for any I/O request that meets a remapping criterion, the corresponding second identifier is remapped to one of the first identifiers that identifies a portion of the memory in the first memory space.
