Title: Mary O'Connor: Innovator in Logic Core Testing and Task Distribution Systems
Introduction
Mary O'Connor is a prominent inventor based in Dublin, Ireland. She has made significant contributions to the fields of logic core testing and data processing systems. With a total of 2 patents, her work has had a notable impact on technology and innovation.
Latest Patents
Mary O'Connor's latest patents include a "System and method for testing parameterized logic cores." This invention provides a system and method for testing a parameterizable logic core through various embodiments. A test controller is configured to generate a set of random parameter values for the logic core. A netlist is created from the parameterized logic core, and circuit behavior is simulated using this netlist. In some embodiments, selected parameter values are weighted to increase the probability of generating those values, and the parameter set is cloned and mutated when simulation fails.
Another significant patent is the "Client-server task distribution system and method." This invention outlines a method and system for distributing computing tasks among a plurality of client data processing systems with different resource characteristics. Each task includes one or more subtasks, and each subtask has specific resource requirements. Clients request subtasks from the server upon the occurrence of a first event, such as an idle machine. The server then selects a subtask for execution based on the resource requirements and the particular resource characteristics of the client.
