With a total of 3 patents to her name, her work has had a meaningful impact on how data is managed and processed in computing environments.
Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is titled "Dynamic system log preprocessing." This invention discloses a method for more effectively recording information in system logs. In one embodiment, the method includes detecting errors on a system, such as a host system or storage system, over a specified period of time. The method stores information associated with the errors in a memory buffer and preprocesses this information to condense it and remove duplication. This preprocessing includes grouping errors by error type and providing a single stack trace or other information per error type. The preprocessed information is then output to a log file.
Another significant patent is focused on the "Distribution of components of displayed data between a server and a client based on server and client load factors." This invention determines values for measures that affect data processing in a computing environment comprising a client and a server. It assesses whether the load on the client is greater than that on the server by calculating and comparing the respective loads based on various factors. If the client load is greater, the data is stored at a location on the server, with a pointer indicated in a data structure on the client.
