Autonomous Resource Nodes Process Commands via Urgency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current computing resource management systems face scalability and performance issues due to external management overhead, as resource nodes require information about other nodes and consumers, leading to increased communication and processing bandwidth, which negatively impacts performance and increases costs.
Innovation Solution
Implementing autonomous resource nodes that process commands based on urgency or importance information within command messages, allowing each node to operate independently and determine when to handle requests without external intervention, enabling efficient load balancing and responsiveness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If resource nodes are managed by external management systems or have a management layer imposed on them, then resource management functionality is provided, but extra overhead is introduced beyond the core responsibility of resource management
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements autonomous resource nodes that manage themselves without external management systems. Each resource node independently determines when to process commands from resource consumers based on its own state and the urgency/importance information in commands, eliminating the need for external management overhead while maintaining reliable resource management functionality.
2Productivity
If resource nodes perform out-of-band management communications to maximize performance, then performance characteristics such as scalability and load balancing are improved, but excessive communication bandwidth is consumed
Solution Approach 1:
Resource nodes autonomously determine when to process commands based on their own state and urgency information in commands, eliminating the need for excessive out-of-band management communications. Each node independently makes decisions about command processing without requiring continuous coordination communication.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments command processing decisions at individual resource nodes rather than requiring centralized coordination. Each resource node independently evaluates commands based on local state and urgency information, reducing the need for broad broadcast communications across the entire system.
3Adaptability or versatility
If new resource nodes are added to the environment, then system capability is enhanced, but management chatter increases and scalability is negatively impacted
Solution Approach 1:
New resource nodes can be added to the environment without generating increased management chatter because each node operates autonomously. The nodes independently process commands based on their own state and the urgency information in commands, without requiring coordination with existing nodes or external management systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments command processing at individual nodes, allowing new nodes to be added independently without increasing overall system management complexity. Each node handles its own command processing locally, so adding nodes does not increase the coordination overhead that would otherwise propagate through the entire system.
4Device complexity
If resource nodes operate independently without external management, then scalability is improved, but resource nodes must determine when to process commands based on urgency or importance information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates urgency or importance information directly into command messages before they reach resource nodes. This preliminary inclusion of priority information allows autonomous nodes to make immediate processing decisions without requiring additional information gathering or complex evaluation, simplifying the operational decision-making process while enabling scalability.
Data Source
AI summary
Resource command messages comprise commands and command urgency or importance information that is interpreted by a resource device and is coupled with information relating to the resource device to determine when to process the command within the resource command message. Resource devices comprising a plurality of resource nodes provide increased performance, responsiveness, and load balancing by multiple resource nodes processing the same resource command message in parallel.
