ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,436,919, issued on Oct. 7, was assigned to Cohesity Inc. (Santa Clara, Calif.).
"Sorted entropy chunks for higher space reduction" was invented by Sweetesh Singh (New Delhi).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Techniques are described for creating more efficient chunkfiles through the use of entropy metrics. In some examples, processing circuitry may determine an entropy value for each of a plurality of data chunks to obtain a corresponding plurality of entropy values. In some examples, processing circuitry may reorganize, based on the corresponding plurality of entropy values, the plurality of data chunks to obtain a reorganized plurality of d...
