Solution Overview

Problem

Current node-computing systems face limitations such as security vulnerabilities, lack of real-time adaptability, and privacy issues due to their coarse-grained reactive nature, non-standardized operating systems, and inability to evolve beyond multi-node architectures, leading to unresolvable security and privacy dilemmas.

Innovation Solution

Implement a workgroup evolutionary computing paradigm (wECP) that focuses on fail-over and fail-safe hardware and software architectures, creating hierarchical core structures and integrating fail-over computing modules to generate real-time intelligent systems capable of proactive problem-solving.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If node-computing systems use coarse-grained reactive architecture, then system simplicity is maintained, but real-time adaptability and proactivity are lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time adaptabilityVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into multiple hierarchical levels (node level, workgroup level, zone level, cloud level) with each level handling specific functions. This segmentation allows the system to achieve real-time adaptability at lower levels while maintaining overall simplicity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic workgroup formation and dissolution capabilities, allowing the system to adapt its structure in real-time based on workload and requirements. This dynamic behavior enables proactivity and real-time adaptability without requiring complete system redesign.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Reliability

If standardized operating systems are implemented across workgroups, then system reliability improves, but flexibility in customization decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem reliabilityVSAvoidcustomization flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal workgroup core structure that can function across different domains and applications. This standardized core provides reliability while the ability to instantiate multiple workgroups with different configurations maintains customization flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

Different workgroups can have customized local configurations and policies while sharing the same standardized operating system core. This allows each workgroup to be optimized for its specific function while maintaining system-wide reliability through the standardized OS.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If multi-node architectures are used, then system scalability is achieved, but security vulnerabilities and privacy issues increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem scalabilityVSAvoidsecurity vulnerabilities
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a nested hierarchical structure where workgroups are nested within zones, which are nested within cloud environments. Each nested level provides an additional layer of security isolation and control, reducing security vulnerabilities while maintaining scalability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The workgroup core acts as an intermediary layer between individual nodes and the broader system. This intermediary provides security policies, access control, and privacy protection, reducing security vulnerabilities while enabling scalable multi-node architectures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Reliability

If fail-over and fail-safe architectures are implemented, then system reliability improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem reliabilityVSAvoidhardware architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines fail-over and fail-safe mechanisms into the standardized workgroup core structure. By merging these reliability features into the core, the system achieves high reliability without proportionally increasing overall system complexity, as the mechanisms are shared across all workgroups.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A workgroup-computing-entity-based fail-safe/evolvable hardware core structure is disclosed which includes a 3-hierarchical-level 6-workgroup-Basic-Building-Block (6-wBBB) created to supplant the node-computing-entity-based non-fail-safe/limited evolvable von-Neumann core structure of 3-hierarchical-level 3-node-BBB, (i.e., base-level IO-devices/mid-level main memory/top-level CPU) and all the first-time fail-safe workgroup systems can be subsequently generated in the second period along the workgroup-computing evolutionary timeline. Furthermore, based on the first 6-wBBB evolvable architecture, the workgroup evolutionary processes can go up to 7 generations in creating all the necessary workgroup-computing entity-based hardware core structures, so that all the real-time intelligent workgroup-computing systems can be generated in the third period along the workgroup-computing evolutionary timeline.
