The processor platform 900 of the illustrated example also includes one or more mass storage devices 928 for storing software and/or data. Examples of such mass storage devices 928 include flash devices, floppy disk drives, hard drive disks, optical compact disk (CD) drives, optical Blu-ray disk drives, RAID systems, and optical digital versatile disk (DVD) drives. The example mass storage 928 may implement the example instruction queue 530 and/or the example result data store 540.
Coded instructions 932 representative of the example machine readable instructions of FIG. 7 may be stored in the mass storage device 928, in the volatile memory 914, in the non-volatile memory 916, and/or on a removable tangible computer readable storage medium such as a CD or DVD.
FIG. 10 is a block diagram of an example processor platform 1000 capable of executing the instructions of FIGS. 7 and/or 8 to implement the example management agent 350 of FIGS. 3A, 3B, 3C, and/or 6. The processor platform 1000 of the illustrated example includes a processor 1012. The processor 1012 of the illustrated example is hardware. For example, the processor 1012 can be implemented by one or more integrated circuits, logic circuits, microprocessors or controllers from any desired family or manufacturer.
