Dynamic Resource Repositioning for Grid Network Load Balancing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing network load balancing systems face challenges in maintaining a constant load index and resource distribution across grids, especially when resources are removed, leading to imbalanced networks and difficulties in managing infrastructure, particularly in scenarios with varying request rates and power consumption.
Innovation Solution
A dynamic resource repositioning and location management system that maps the grid network topology, determines the initial placement of outgoing resources, and repositions resources based on specific decision-making mechanisms to maintain a balanced load index, ensuring that the number of resources remains constant despite removals and changes in demand.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If resources are removed from the network, then the network adapts to changes in demand and power consumption, but the load index becomes imbalanced and network stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic resource repositioning where resources are automatically relocated within the grid network based on real-time load conditions. When resources are removed, the system dynamically adjusts by moving remaining resources to maintain balanced load distribution across grids, preventing network instability while adapting to demand changes
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors load index across different grids and uses this feedback to determine resource repositioning actions. The load balancing mechanism receives feedback about resource removals and load imbalances, then automatically triggers resource relocation to restore balance, maintaining network stability through closed-loop control
2Loss of energy
If resources are removed from the network, then power consumption is reduced, but the load distribution becomes imbalanced across grids
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically repositions resources within the grid network to compensate for resource removals. When resources are removed to reduce power consumption, the remaining resources are automatically relocated to maintain balanced load distribution across all grids, preventing load imbalance while allowing energy reduction
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the positional parameters of resources within the network topology. By altering resource locations rather than resource counts, the system maintains load balance parameters across grids while allowing overall resource reduction for lower power consumption
3Device complexity
If static load balancing is used, then the system is simple to implement, but it is not suitable for distributed applications with varying demand
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic load balancing where resource repositioning decisions are made based on real-time load conditions in distributed grids. The system automatically adjusts resource locations in response to varying demand patterns across distributed applications, providing adaptability while maintaining manageable complexity through automated decision-making algorithms
4Stability of the object's composition
If dynamic resource repositioning is implemented, then load balance is maintained after resource removal, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service load balancing by automatically detecting load imbalances caused by resource removals and autonomously repositioning resources to restore balance. This self-managing capability maintains load stability without requiring complex external control mechanisms, reducing overall system complexity while achieving the desired stability
