Title: Muthiah Annamalai and Fault-Tolerant Processor Layouts

Introduction

Muthiah Annamalai is an inventor associated with Cornami, Inc. in Dallas, Texas. His patent work addresses how to maintain a functional layout in a massively parallel processing array when some of its cores are defective.

Latest Patents

Annamalai is credited with 1 patent: “Method and System for Providing Fault Tolerant Layout of Massively Parallel Processing Array.” The invention describes a method for arranging cores in a grid to perform a function despite defective cores. It uses information about defective-core locations and an ideal topology to assign cores, then checks whether defects affect the proposed layout. When a defective core is found in the topology, its functions can be reassigned to neighboring cores, creating a more robust configuration.

Career Highlights

Annamalai’s patent reflects work on fault tolerance in massively parallel processing systems. By enabling neighboring cores to take over functions assigned to defective cores, the disclosed approach aims to preserve the intended operation of an array.

Collaborations

Annamalai is associated with Cornami, Inc. His listed coworker is Syed Ahmed.

Conclusion

Muthiah Annamalai’s patent focuses on improving the resilience of parallel-processing arrays by adapting core assignments around defects.
