Chris Youngworth has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9870154
    Abstract: A system can comprise an I/O circuitry, a processor, reconfigurable circuitry, an array of flash storage devices, and a serial interconnect network that is coupled to transfer data between the I/O circuitry, the processor, the reconfigurable circuitry and the flash storage devices. The processor can be configured to designate an interconnect address space for use in communication over the interconnect network among the I/O circuitry, the processor, the reconfigurable circuitry and the flash storage devices. The reconfigurable circuitry can be configured to translate data addresses during transfers of data between the I/O circuitry and the array of flash storage devices. A method to access an array of flash storage devices that are coupled to I/O circuitry over a serial interconnect network can comprise using reconfigurable circuitry to capture data during transfers of data over the serial interconnect network.

  • Patent number: 9817721
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and system configurations for failover of cluster computing system resources, for a cluster computing system including a plurality of cluster nodes. In some examples, operations are performed to monitor an abstracted resource and reconfigure the abstracted resource, to enable fail-over processing for component members of the abstracted resource. In further examples, a hierarchy of resource dependencies is defined to enable enhanced fail-over processing for the failure of abstracted resources that cause the failure of services within the cluster computing system that are dependent upon the abstracted resources.

  • Patent number: 9697226
    Abstract: A method of storing a file in a storage system that includes a plurality of memory-storage hosts includes: providing unique chunk identifiers for memory chunks included in the file; using a hash mapping to identify one or more storage locations for each chunk identifier, each storage location corresponding to a portion of a memory-storage host; and storing each memory chuck at the corresponding one or more storage locations identified by the hash mapping.

  • Publication number: 20150006846
    Abstract: A method of storing a file in a storage system that includes a plurality of memory-storage hosts includes: specifying a unique chunk identifier for a memory chunk included in the file; specifying a hash mapping to identify one or more storage locations for the chunk identifier, each storage location corresponding to a portion of a memory-storage host; providing metadata corresponding to the hash mapping to the memory-storage hosts; and storing the memory chuck at the one or more storage locations identified by the hash mapping by providing the chunk identifier to one or more memory-storage hosts corresponding to the identified one or more storage locations, the one or more memory-storage hosts implementing the hash mapping to store the memory chunk at the identified one or more locations.
