Abstract
Some embodiments of a system and a method to notify applications of lost computing resources have been presented. For instance, a processing device running on a client machine can monitor a computing resource used by an application, which also runs on the client machine. If the computing resource is lost, then the processing device can notify the application of the loss and provides details about the lost computing resource to the application so that the application can take appropriate action in response to the loss.
Claims21
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- monitoring, by a processing device of a client machine, a computing resource, wherein an application running on the client machine uses the computing resource;
- and
- if the computing resource is lost, the processing device notifying the application of the loss and providing details of the computing resource lost to the application.
An apparatus comprising:
- a network interface operable to access a computing resource over a network;
- and
- a processing device coupled to the network interface, to execute an application that uses the computing resource, and if the computing resource is lost while the application is using the computing resource, the processing device is further operable to notify the application of the loss and to provide details of the computing resource lost to the application.
A computer-readable storage medium embodying instructions that, when executed by a processing device, will cause the processing device to perform a method comprising:
- monitoring a computing resource, wherein an application running on a client machine uses the computing resource;
- and
- if the computing resource is lost, notifying the application of the loss and providing details of the computing resource lost to the application.
