METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NODE PRUNING A MULTI-PROCESSOR SYSTEM FOR MAXIMAL, FULL CONNECTION DURING RECOVERY

摘要

A method and apparatus for achieving maximal, full connection in a multi-processor system having a plurality of processors. Each of the multiple processors has a respective memory. The invention includes communicatively connecting the processors. Following a disruption (805) in the communicative connection, the invention collects connectivity information of one of the processors (830) and selects certain of the processors to cease operations, based on the connectivity information collected. The invention further communicates the selection to each of the processors (850) communicatively coupled to the one processor.
