Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Dynamic process/object scoped memory affinity adjuster." This invention provides an apparatus, method, and program product for optimizing a multiprocessor computing system by sampling memory reference latencies and adjusting components of the system accordingly. The process involves executing memory reference sampling from shared memory locations during process execution. Each sampled memory reference is analyzed to identify segments of memory locations that correspond to sub-optimal latency. Based on this analysis, adjustments are made to optimize memory access for the multiprocessor computing system.
Another significant patent is "Implementing feedback directed NUMA mitigation tuning." This invention offers a method, system, and computer program product for implementing feedback directed Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) mitigation tuning in a computer system. During page frame memory allocation for a process, monitored performance metrics are compared with stored threshold values. In response to these comparisons, the use of local memory is dynamically modified to enhance performance during memory allocation.
