Latest Patents

Chen is credited with 1 patent: “Fast Method for Creating Multi-Node Clusters.” The disclosed method boots a first cluster node from attached storage into a bootstrap operating system, then uses that node to initiate PXE boot and file-sharing services. Software bundles for a target operating system are copied to the first node’s persistent storage. Other nodes can then boot into the bootstrap environment and receive the bundles over a high-speed switch, helping streamline cluster deployment.

Career Highlights

Chen’s listed patent reflects work on provisioning and configuring multi-node computing systems. The approach uses attached storage, network booting, and high-speed data transfer to distribute software across cluster nodes.
