Patents by Inventor Pierre Fiorini

Pierre Fiorini 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: 8713545
    Abstract: A data processing system includes a host computer, an additional computer, an application module including a first executable code, a module for analyzing said first executable code and a module for generating a second executable code segmented notably into code blocks which are executed in a preferential manner on one of the two computers. The second executable code includes a sub-module for managing the distribution of the processing operations between the host computer and the additional computer and a sub-module for managing the additional computer as a virtual machine which executes the blocks allocated to the additional computer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6643614
    Abstract: Analytic tests are used to detect chaotic (power-tail) behavior in one or more computer system resources in a distributed computing environment. The analytic tests are used to determine if data (indicative of one or more parameters related to computer system resources) exhibit large deviations from a mean, a high variance and other properties consistent with large values in the tail portion of a power-tail distribution. The tests can be performed in any order, and fewer than three can be performed. If all three tests indicate the existence of power-tail behavior, chaotic behavior of the data is likely. If all three tests indicate the lack of power-tail behavior, chaotic behavior of the data is unlikely. If the results are mixed, then more data or analysis may be needed. The results may be used for modeling and/or altering the configuration of the distributed computing environment.

  • Publication number: 20030167151
    Abstract: A set of algorithms for detecting a renewal power-tall behavior which often relates to chaotic system activities in one or more computer system resources of a distributed computing environment, i.e., an enterprise. Analysis and/or prediction software receives a set of metric data points from agent software on one or more computer systems. The analysis and/or prediction software performs three analytic tests relating to distinctive properties of power tail distributions: a first test to determine whether the set of data points exhibits large deviations from the mean, a second test to determine whether the set of data points exhibits a high variance, and a third test to determine whether the set of the largest data points exhibits properties consistent with large values in a tall portion of a power-tall distribution. The tests can be performed in any order, and in other embodiments, fewer than three can be performed.
