Title: Benjamin Gras and Processor Power-Monitoring Isolation.

Introduction

Benjamin Gras is an inventor associated with Amsterdam, Netherlands, and Intel Corporation. His patent work addresses how processor processes can monitor their own energy consumption while keeping that information isolated from other processes. His record includes 1 patent.

Latest Patents

The patent listed for Gras is “System, Apparatus and Method for Providing Power Monitoring Isolation in a Processor.” It describes a processor with multiple cores, each equipped with an execution circuit, a power-measurement circuit, and a register that stores a power-related context identifier for the process running on that core.

The processor’s controller includes energy-status registers associated with those identifiers. A control circuit enables each process to monitor its own energy-consumption information while preventing it from accessing the corresponding information for other processes. This design supports process-level power monitoring with isolation between processes.

Career Highlights

Gras’s listed invention focuses on processor architecture, energy measurement, and access control. By linking energy-status information to process identifiers, the disclosed system provides a way to track power consumption while maintaining separation among processes.

Collaborations

The supplied information identifies Neer Roggel as a coworker and Intel Corporation as Gras’s company affiliation. The patent description concerns processor technology and does not specify the individual contributions of collaborators.

Conclusion

Benjamin Gras’s listed patent presents a processor-based approach to independent energy monitoring, allowing processes to measure their own consumption without viewing that of others.
