Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems between multiple operating systems in a server with a decoupling hardware architecture and distributed computer architecture face inefficiencies, particularly in hardware-interconnected environments, where existing protocols like TCP/IP do not fully optimize resource utilization and communication speed.
Innovation Solution
A communication method where a management node determines the physical communication manner between computing nodes based on system topology information and resource allocation, allowing for optimized communication through local memory sharing, external memory sharing, or high-speed interconnection, and records this information for future use to reduce overhead.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If TCP/IP Ethernet communication protocol is used between multiple operating systems, then communication compatibility is maintained, but communication efficiency is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the communication protocol processing from the standard TCP/IP Ethernet path and creates a separate direct communication channel between hardware-interconnected computing nodes. This allows the system to bypass the generic network stack and use optimized protocols specifically for hardware-direct connections, thereby improving communication efficiency without affecting overall system compatibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a communication efficiency determination module as an intermediary that analyzes the communication requirements and hardware connection status between computing nodes. This mediator decides whether to use the standard TCP/IP protocol or a optimized direct communication protocol, thereby resolving the contradiction between compatibility and efficiency by selecting the appropriate protocol based on real-time conditions.
2Speed
If hardware interconnection is utilized for communication, then transmission speed is improved, but system overhead increases without optimized resource allocation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic resource allocation for hardware interconnection communication. The system continuously monitors the communication status, hardware connection availability, and resource utilization, and dynamically adjusts the communication parameters and resource allocation accordingly. This dynamic approach ensures that hardware interconnection is utilized when beneficial for speed while minimizing system overhead through adaptive resource management.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes key communication parameters such as buffer sizes, transmission protocols, and resource allocation strategies based on the specific hardware interconnection configuration and communication requirements. By optimizing these parameters for hardware-direct communication, the system achieves higher transmission speeds while reducing unnecessary system overhead compared to standard Ethernet communication.
