Solution Overview

Problem

Machine learning (ML) models have fluctuating computational resource requirements due to variations in model architecture, data size, and complexity, leading to inefficiencies in resource allocation and performance optimization.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for dynamic allocation of computational resources, which involves receiving a request to execute an ML model, determining its computational requirements, selecting a subset of resources from a pool, allocating those resources, and executing the model. This process can be adjusted in response to trigger events such as changes in dataset size or model complexity.
