Computing Force Network Path Scheduling With Node Influence Evaluation

The patent segments the resource scheduling process into distinct modules: node performance evaluation module, forward path performance evaluation module, and optimal path selection module. Each module handles specific evaluation tasks independently, improving path selection quality while managing complexity through modular design. The node evaluation module assesses individual node metrics, the forward path module evaluates complete paths, and the selection module chooses optimal paths based on business requirements.

The patent introduces comprehensive evaluation functions that transform multiple resource indicators (computing power, storage, bandwidth, latency) into standardized performance indicators. This parameter transformation enables quantitative comparison of different paths by converting heterogeneous resource metrics into unified evaluation dimensions, thereby improving path selection quality while maintaining manageable system complexity through standardized assessment criteria.

The evaluation process is divided into two sequential stages: first, node performance evaluation where individual node metrics are assessed and standardized; second, forward path performance evaluation where complete paths are evaluated based on composed node indicators. This segmentation allows precise measurement at each level while managing overall complexity through hierarchical processing, avoiding the need to evaluate all possible paths simultaneously.

The patent performs preliminary node performance evaluation before conducting forward path evaluation. By pre-computing and standardizing node performance indicators first, the system prepares evaluation data in advance, enabling more accurate path assessments without repeating node-level computations for each path. This preliminary action reduces redundant calculations and manages evaluation complexity while maintaining high measurement precision.
