MUMBAI, India, June 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411092588 A) filed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development Lp on November 27, 2024, for Reusable Barrier For Synchronization Among Multiple Processes.
Inventors include Chaurasiya, Ramesh Chandra; and Kalita, Subhra Sankar.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: One aspect provides a system and method for facilitating synchronization among processes. During operation, the system may execute, in parallel on one or more compute nodes, a plurality of processes. In response to a first process calling a barrier function, the system may pause execution of the first process, and in response to determining that the first process gains access to a variable shared by at least a subset of the plurality of processes, the system may update the shared variable. The system may release the shared variable to a second process in the subset to update the shared variable when the second process calls the barrier function and determine whether all processes in the subset have updated the shared variable. In response to the shared variable having been updated by all processes in the subset, the system may resume the execution of all processes in the subset.
