Latest Patents
One of Christopher's latest patents is titled "System and/or method for maintaining highly-available, consistent, partition-tolerant clusters using client voters." This invention relates to a distributed computing system that includes servers organized in a cluster and clients. In this system, one server is elected as the leader, responsible for maintaining consensus information among the other servers. Each server is designed to determine if a new leader election is necessary. If so, the server requests votes for a new leader from the other servers and assesses whether it has achieved a clear majority. Votes from eligible client devices can be counted either in the main election alongside server votes or in a tie-break election if required. Once a server is elected, the other servers are informed accordingly. This innovative approach allows for the maintenance of a highly-available, consistent, and partition-tolerant cluster in distributed computing systems using client voters.
