Title: Matthew S. Thoennes: Database Processing and Accelerator Management

Introduction

Matthew S. Thoennes is an inventor based in West Harrison, New York, whose patent work focuses on database processing and the use of hardware accelerators. He is associated with International Business Machines Corporation and has 2 patents.

Latest Patents

“Offloading Projection of Fixed and Variable Length Database Columns” describes a computer-implemented method for projecting database rows that contain variable-length columns. The method constructs a projection control block and provides it to a hardware accelerator, enabling the accelerator to perform the projection operation at streaming rate.

“Goal Oriented Performance Management of Workload Utilizing Accelerators” presents a method for dynamically managing accelerator resources across information processing systems. It monitors jobs and, when a job fails to meet its goal, can reassign accelerator resources from one system to another to help address the performance shortfall.

Career Highlights

Thoennes’s listed inventions address two related areas: accelerating database operations and allocating computing resources in response to workload performance. Both patents describe methods for coordinating software workloads with hardware accelerator capabilities.

Collaborations

His listed coworkers include Peter Bergersen Yocom and Sameh W. Asaad.

Conclusion

Matthew S. Thoennes’s patent portfolio reflects work on improving computing performance through accelerated database projection and adaptive management of hardware resources.
