US 2017/0255668 A1 · METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR IMPROVING PROCESSING EFFICIENCY IN A DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM

Abstract

Embodiments are disclosed for improving throughput in a distributed transaction processing system. In the context of a method, an example embodiment includes receiving information regarding a change in state of a particular transaction recorded by the distributed transaction processing system. This example embodiment of the method further includes updating, by state machine query circuitry of a networked device within the distributed transaction processing system and based on the received information, a state of a primary state machine associated with the particular transaction. Finally, the example embodiment of the method further includes updating, by state machine query circuitry of a networked device within the distributed transaction processing system and based on the received information, a state of a primary state machine associated with the particular transaction. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.

Dependent claims

A method for improving throughput in a distributed transaction processing system, the method comprising:

receiving information regarding a change in state of a particular transaction recorded by the distributed transaction processing system;
updating, by state machine query circuitry of a networked device within the distributed transaction processing system and based on the received information, a state of a primary state machine associated with the particular transaction;
and
in response to updating the state of the primary state machine, updating, by state machine query circuitry of a networked device within the distributed transaction processing system, a state of a secondary state machine having a schema identical to that of the primary state machine, wherein the secondary state machine is also associated with the particular transaction.

1 more element

An apparatus for improving throughput in a distributed transaction processing system, the apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions, that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:

receive information regarding a change in state of a particular transaction recorded by the distributed transaction processing system;
update, based on the received information, a state of a primary state machine associated with the particular transaction;
and
in response to updating the state of the primary state machine, update a state of a secondary state machine having a schema identical to that of the primary state machine, wherein the secondary state machine is also associated with the particular transaction.

1 more element

A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for improving throughput in a distributed transaction processing system, the at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause an apparatus to:

receive information regarding a change in state of a particular transaction recorded by the distributed transaction processing system;
update, based on the received information, a state of a primary state machine associated with the particular transaction;
and
in response to updating the state of the primary state machine, update a state of a secondary state machine having a schema identical to that of the primary state machine, wherein the secondary state machine is also associated with the particular transaction.
