Abstract:
1. A method for implementing a nodal complex (NC) having an architecture that supports multiple quality of service (QoS) realms, comprising: providing a first set of extended enterprise service bus (EESB) rules for supporting nodes operating in a sub-second QoS realm using a computer; providing a second set of EESB rules for supporting nodes operating in a millisecond QoS realm using a computer; providing a third set of EESB rules for supporting nodes operating in a microsecond QoS realm using a computer; wherein the first, second and third sets of EESB rules each define a set of acceptable communication protocols for an associated QoS realm; communicating data and sharing compute capability amongst nodes operating in different QoS realms by using an inter-bus communication pattern that is super-ordinate to the first, second and third sets of EESB rules; and aggregating nodes in a same QoS realm to provide an aggregated service over the nodal complex.
