Title: Maynard Paul Johnson: Innovator in Smart Profiling and Persistent Objects
Introduction
Maynard Paul Johnson is a notable inventor based in Rochester, MN (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of technology, holding a total of 3 patents. His work primarily focuses on enhancing data processing systems and the implementation of persistent objects.
Latest Patents
One of Johnson's latest patents is for a "Smart Profiler." This invention provides a method, system, and computer usable program product for a smart profiler. It determines an allowable number of interrupts for use by a profiler application and configures a counter to count occurrences of an event in a data processing system. The process involves raising an interrupt when the counter reaches a specified count number, processing the interrupt, and repeating this for a predetermined time. A decision is made to adjust the count number based on the difference between the total number of interrupts and the allowable number.
Another significant patent is the "Virtual Machine Implementation for Shared Persistent Objects." This invention facilitates the creation, storage, and interaction of persistent objects using single-level storage semantics on commodity systems. It defines several objects to implement persistent objects in a shared address space, including a Class Encapsulator class and an Object Encapsulator class. These classes are designed to encapsulate class data and instance data, respectively, ensuring efficient management of persistent objects.
