Gopal Singh

Meet Gopal Singh - A Lucknow based inventor with 6 patents to his name. He has been a key contributor in developing new technologies that improve the performance and functionalities of data storage systems. His latest set of patents are the "System and method for variable sparing in RAID groups based on drive failure probability" and "System and method for autonomous and dynamic resource allocation in storage systems".

In the first patent, Gopal Singh devised a way to classify drives in a RAID group as either healthy or failing. He implemented a Venn-ABERS framework to calculate the failure probability of each failing drive. Once determined, he created a variable sparing mechanism that can be used to make one or more drives dual-purpose drives. This system can switch between two states. In the first state, the dual-purpose drives are user-addressable and can process IO workload on the RAID group, which improves performance by reducing latency. In the second state, the same drives are not user-addressable and serve as spare drives, enhancing the level of protection provided to the data stored in the RAID group.

Moving on to the second patent, Gopal Singh developed a method for autonomously and dynamically allocating resources in a distributed network. He used a multivariate approach for Probabilistic Weighted Fuzzy Time Series (PWFTS) to forecast CPU resource utilization, which is used for dynamically throttling the allocation of the resources. Additionally, he implemented an adaptive compute change rate detection and correction system, combined with a single spike detection and removal mechanism, to prevent frequent and unnecessary throttling changes. This technology can be used in various use cases, such as cloud data migration, replication to a storage server, system upgrades, bandwidth throttling in storage networks, and garbage collection.

Gopal Singh has worked with Dell Products Inc. and EMC Corporation, where he scaled up his expertise and developed his problem-solving skills under the guidance of his mentors. He has also collaborated with brilliant minds like Rahul Deo Vishwakarma and Parmeshwr Prasad.

With his innovative mind, Gopal Singh has proven to be an asset to the world of data storage systems. We can expect more breakthrough inventions from him in the near future.
