His work focuses on enhancing communication protocols and dispatching mechanisms in multiprogrammed environments.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Extension of two phase commit protocol to distributed participants." This innovation allows for distributed participation among physically distant agents, independent of the communication mechanisms used in a data processing system. An additional stage, known as End Phase One Processing (EPOP), is introduced to enable the distribution of the coordinator function across systems. This allows participants to receive control and flow two phase commit protocol sequences to distributed systems, enhancing the overall efficiency of distributed databases and resource managers.
Another notable patent is "Virtual storage data processor with enhanced dispatching priority." This invention describes improvements in operating systems for multiprogrammed data processing systems. It provides a common priority dispatching mechanism for applications that span multiple address spaces, allowing processes operating in different address spaces to be dispatched at the same priority level. This innovation ensures that high-priority processes can avoid being blocked by lower-priority processes, thereby optimizing resource management.
