System and method for parallel multiplexing between servers in a cluster

A method for providing parallel multiplexing between servers in a cluster, comprising:

• providing a cluster of one or more high performance computing systems, each including one or more processors and a high performance memory, and wherein the cluster communicates over an InfiniBand network;
• providing a middleware environment, executing on the cluster, that includes a plurality of application server instances;
• providing a plurality of multiplexers, wherein each said mutiplexier resides on a said application server instance, and is directly connected with a plurality of parallel channels, wherein each of the plurality of parallel channels is
• created using a replication channel configured for the cluster as a template and overwriting port information therein with a unique port number, and
• further connected to a different multiplexier at a different application server instance;
• providing a sender queue directly connected with each said multiplexier, wherein the sender queue aggregates messages received from a plurality of threads and places the messages sequentially therein;
• and
• providing a plurality of sender threads, wherein each of said sender threads operates on one of said plurality of parallel channels;
• wherein each said multiplexer is operable to
• flush the messages from the sender queue,
• distribute the flushed messages over the plurality of parallel channels, and
• use the plurality of sender threads to transmit the flushed messages concurrently over the plurality of parallel channels.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, including instructions stored there on which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform the steps comprising:

• providing a cluster of one or more high performance computing systems, each including one or more processors and a high performance memory, and wherein the cluster communicates over an InfiniBand network;
• providing a middleware environment, executing on the cluster, that includes a plurality of application server instances;
• providing a plurality of multiplexers, wherein each said mutiplexier resides on a said application server instance, and is directly connected with a plurality of parallel channels, wherein each of the plurality of parallel channels is
• created using a replication channel configured for the cluster as a template and overwriting port information therein with a unique port number, and
• further connected to a different multiplexer at a different application server instance;
• providing a sender queue directly connected with each said multiplexier, wherein the sender queue aggregates messages received from a plurality of threads and sequentially place the messages therein;
• and
• providing a plurality of sender threads, wherein each of said sender threads operates on one of said plurality of parallel channels;
• wherein each said multiplexer is operable to
• flush the messages from the sender queue,
• distribute the flushed messages over the plurality of parallel channels, and
• use the plurality of sender threads to transmit the flushed messages concurrently over the plurality of parallel channels.
