Dr. Kirk Cameron and CS alumnus Joe Turner successfully completed the patent approval process. Dr. Cameron and Mr. Turner are co-founders of a power management software startup company MiserWare. This is a patent that MiserWare licensed from Virginia Tech while conducting research for the university. Dr. Cameron said, “This patent describes methods and techniques to guarantee performance constraints are met when computer power management is enabled. The resulting software is used in laptops, desktops, and data center environments where performance is critical and power management is required for cost-cutting. This technology is at the core of the Granola software that was downloaded more than half a million times from over 160 countries.”
