  Software designer

  • Prototype development for online process pair replacement including development of the executable responsible for carrying out the replacement as well as modification of the TCP/IP product to be on-line replaceable. U.S. Patent 6,449,733 was issued for the online process pair replacement project. • Feasibility study of online software replacement along with preparation of corresponding papers, and presentation of findings. The purpose of the study was to consider different methods possible for updating Tandem software without bringing down Tandem systems. • Software development and maintenance for Sysgen and Coup. Sysgen was the program responsible for creating the operating system image loaded when a Tandem system was started. Coup was the program responsible for starting new system devices once the system was already on-line. Show less
