| Summary: | The present invention pertains to the field of real-time data processing. More particularly, this invention relates to protecting against failures due to data unavailability in real-time data processing.
The present invention protects against failures due to data unavailability in real-time data processing. The last state of data stored in an output buffer is computed, and a pointer is updated based on the last state of the data stored in the output buffer to point to a starting location of a buffer storing spurious data. In one embodiment, if the data stored in the output buffer is entirely consumed in real-time before new data is written, the pointer is used to begin consuming the spurious data in real-time. |
