Latest Patents
One of Menges' latest patents is titled "Methods and apparatus for managing computer processes." This patent discloses various methods, apparatus, and data structures for managing computer processes. A key aspect of this invention is a daemon process that manages server processes, which includes an active server table and a locator service. The locator service is capable of looking up and registering server processes in the active server table, as well as starting up server processes. In some embodiments, the locator service comprises a look-up object and a server process registration object that perform the tasks of the locator service. The patent also describes methods for managing server processes, such as starting and registering them. A specific method involves a daemon process responding to a look-up call for a target object by obtaining a server identifier, determining the state of a server process, and returning addressing information for the server process under which the target object will activate. Additionally, the daemon process can start the server process if it is not running or wait until it is running to return the addressing information. Another method aspect allows a server process to self-start by receiving an object reference for a desired target object and registering itself with the server process registration object.
