Girija Varanasi 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: 11379290
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include receiving a request to obtain data located in an address space to diagnose a computer error. It is determined whether a threshold number of resources are available to obtain the data. Based on determining that the threshold number of resources is available to obtain the data, a priority level of the computer program is assessed. A number of threads to assign to a workload to obtain the data from the address space is determined based at least in part on the priority level of the computer program. The determined number of threads are assigned to the workload. The workload is divided into a number of parallel units equal to the number of threads assigned to the workload. The parallel units of the workload are executed by the assigned threads to capture the data in the address space. The captured data is stored.

  • Patent number: 10657027
    Abstract: A method for obtaining data to debug an issue that affects a software application. In an embodiment, the method includes at least one computer processor receiving a request to obtain data associated with an issue that affects an executing software application. The method further includes determining a set of memory spaces utilized by the executing software application and one or more processes supporting the executing software application. The method further includes initiating a dump function to obtain data within the memory spaces of the determined set of memory spaces. The method further includes storing the data related to the dumped set of memory spaces by (i) high-speed capture and aggregation of data to volatile memory and (ii) spooling data within volatile memory to persistent memory for storage.
