Solution Overview

Problem

The assignment of artificial intelligence (AI) workloads to computing devices or production environments can impact performance and user experience, necessitating optimal placement strategies that consider latency, completion time, and security in heterogeneous environments.

Innovation Solution

A workload placement service determines the optimal production environment for AI workloads such as inferencing, training, and model adaptation based on latency minimization, completion time minimization, and security considerations, using a monitoring agent, workload placement model, and variant selection agents to manage resource utilization and secure or public variants.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If AI workloads are assigned to computing devices in a heterogeneous environment, then productivity and service capability are improved, but completion time and latency increase due to varying device performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice capabilityVSAvoidcompletion time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically changes placement parameters based on workload characteristics and device performance metrics. The workload placement model adjusts placement decisions by considering device-specific parameters such as processing power, memory capacity, and current load status to optimize completion time while maintaining productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The placement strategy transitions from static to dynamic decision-making. The system continuously monitors device performance and workload characteristics, adapting placement decisions in real-time to minimize completion time while maximizing productivity across the heterogeneous environment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If AI workloads are distributed across multiple production environments, then adaptability and resource utilization are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilizationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The workload placement service acts as an intermediary between AI workloads and production environments. It abstracts the complexity of heterogeneous device management by providing a unified placement interface that translates workload requirements into optimal device assignments, thereby improving resource utilization without exposing system complexity to users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The placement system implements universal decision-making capabilities that handle multiple workload types and device configurations through a single framework. The workload placement model provides multi-functional optimization that adapts to different production environments while maintaining consistent system management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Productivity

If workload placement decisions are optimized for completion time, then productivity is improved, but latency may increase for time-sensitive operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompletion timeVSAvoidlatency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different optimization qualities to different workload characteristics. For time-sensitive operations, the placement model prioritizes low-latency devices, while for batch processing workloads, it optimizes for overall completion time. This local quality adjustment ensures that latency-critical operations receive appropriate placement without compromising overall productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A method for managing of a model adaptation workload placement based on minimizing completion time includes performing an initial workload placement to assign the model adaptation workload to a first production environment of the plurality of production environments, after performing the initial workload placement, monitoring: execution of the model adaptation workload on the first production environment, and performance of computing resource in the plurality of production environments to obtain telemetry data associated with the execution and the performance, performing a completion time analysis using the telemetry data to generate a placement recommendation, making a determination that the placement recommendation specifies a third production environment of the plurality of production environments, and based on the determination, initiating deployment of the model adaptation workload to the third production environment.
