1Productivity

If manual configuration and updating is used for data management systems as devices change, then system complexity is reduced, but productivity and ease of operation deteriorate due to inefficiencies in managing resource usage across different workloads and data sources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency in managing resource usageVSAvoidsystem configuration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated configuration and optimization of resource usage by having the data management system automatically obtain resource usage metrics from local data systems, analyze workload rankings, and perform actions to optimize resource allocation. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for manual configuration and updating, allowing the system to adapt automatically as devices change while improving productivity in managing resource usage across different workloads and data sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If automated resource usage optimization is implemented through DCF pipelines, then productivity and ease of operation improve, but device complexity increases due to the need for automated configuration and management systems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomated configuration capabilityVSAvoiddata management system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The data management system acts as an intermediary between local data systems and workload requirements. It automatically obtains resource usage metrics from local data systems, analyzes workload rankings, and performs optimization actions. This intermediary approach simplifies operation by automating the configuration process, while the complexity is contained within the data management system itself, which coordinates the automated configuration and optimization across multiple workloads and data sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Manufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by obtaining resource usage metrics from local data systems associated with different DCF pipelines, analyzing these metrics to determine workload rankings, and using this information to perform optimization actions. This feedback loop enables precise resource allocation by continuously monitoring resource usage across multiple pipelines and adjusting allocations based on analyzed workload rankings, thereby improving manufacturing precision of resource allocation while managing measurement precision requirements through systematic analysis.

Inventive Principle:
