Operation Performance Manager Execution Time Monitoring

Solution Overview

Problem

Modern computing systems experience performance degradation due to hardware components taking an exceptionally long time to execute commands, leading to increased latency and decreased system performance.

Innovation Solution

A method for managing operation performance by storing and calculating execution time characteristics for each operation in hardware devices, detecting deviations, and providing warnings or updates to prevent excessive execution times, utilizing an operation performance manager that tracks and analyzes execution metrics across various hardware components.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If software is updated to improve functionality, then system capabilities are enhanced, but operation execution time increases excessively

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesystem capabilitiesVSAvoidoperation execution time

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by establishing baseline execution times for operations before software updates are applied. These baselines are stored and used for future comparison to detect when operations are taking excessively long, allowing the system to proactively identify performance degradation before it significantly impacts overall system performance.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring operation execution times and comparing them against stored baseline values. When deviations exceed predetermined thresholds, the system generates alerts or notifications to inform users of performance issues, enabling timely intervention to restore optimal operation speed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

2Speed

If hardware components execute commands faster, then system performance improves, but latency increases when commands take exceptionally long to execute

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommand execution speedVSAvoidlatency

Core Design Contradiction:

SpeedVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring operation execution times and comparing them against stored baseline values. When deviations exceed predetermined thresholds, the system generates alerts or notifications to inform users of performance issues, enabling timely intervention to restore optimal operation speed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies dynamics by adjusting performance thresholds and monitoring parameters based on operational context. The predetermined time thresholds can be modified based on operation type and system state, allowing the system to adapt its performance criteria dynamically rather than using fixed thresholds for all operations.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If operation performance is monitored continuously, then execution time deviations are detected, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveexecution time detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies segmentation by dividing performance monitoring into distinct functional modules: baseline establishment, real-time measurement, threshold comparison, and alert generation. This modular approach allows each component to be independently managed and optimized, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive monitoring capabilities.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring operation execution times and comparing them against stored baseline values. When deviations exceed predetermined thresholds, the system generates alerts or notifications to inform users of performance issues, enabling timely intervention to restore optimal operation speed.

Inventive Principle:
