Title: The Innovations of Daniel J Lenz
Introduction
Daniel J Lenz is an accomplished inventor based in Maplewood, MN (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of data processing systems, holding a total of 2 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the performance and scalability of data processing systems, which is crucial in today's technology-driven world.
Latest Patents
Lenz's latest patents include a "System and method for scaling performance of a data processing system." This invention discloses a method where a level of system performance is purchased for use with the data processing system. The performance level is described in Millions of Instructions Per Second (MIPS) or a similar unit of measure. A system administrator selects which resources within the data processing system will be enabled and how those resources will be configured. The performance of each enabled processor is then scaled to achieve the purchased system performance level, taking into account the characteristics associated with the selected configuration and system architecture.
Another notable patent is the "Authorization key system for selectively controlling the performance of a data processing system." This invention provides methods and apparatus for authorizing a temporary or permanent increase in the performance of a data processing system with minimal downtime. By including extra computer resources in the data processing system, customers can purchase an authorization key to enable additional hardware resources when needed. This system allows for selective increases in performance levels to accommodate unplanned performance requirements.
