Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional scheduling systems allocate fixed memory resources based on typical ranges, then system resource management is simplified and costs are minimized, but the system cannot handle data size variability caused by market factors leading to service interruptions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice continuityVSAvoidscheduling system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by training machine learning models on historical job data before actual job scheduling occurs. The model learns patterns of memory consumption and data size variability from past jobs, enabling it to predict future resource needs accurately. This preliminary training phase allows the system to handle data size variability without increasing operational complexity during job execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

A machine learning prediction layer is introduced as an intermediary between job submission and resource allocation. This intermediary component analyzes job characteristics and predicts memory requirements, bridging the gap between fixed resource allocation and variable data sizes. The prediction model acts as a mediator that translates job parameters into accurate memory estimates, enabling reliable service continuity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If data sets are limited to typical size ranges to prevent resource misuse, then resource management is easier and costs are minimized, but the system cannot process jobs that exceed these limits due to market variables

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata size flexibilityVSAvoidmemory resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from static memory allocation based on typical ranges to dynamic allocation guided by machine learning predictions. The prediction model continuously adapts to varying data sizes by learning from historical patterns, allowing the system to flexibly accommodate jobs of different sizes including those exceeding typical ranges. Memory allocation becomes dynamic and job-specific rather than fixed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of memory allocation from fixed typical ranges to predicted values based on job characteristics. By using machine learning to estimate actual memory needs, the system can accommodate varying data sizes efficiently. This parameter change enables the system to handle both small and large jobs optimally, adjusting memory allocation to match actual requirements rather than predetermined limits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If conventional systems allocate sufficient memory for all potential job sizes, then service interruptions are prevented, but processing resources are wasted when data amounts are low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice availabilityVSAvoidprocessing resource waste
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback through machine learning models that continuously learn from actual job performance and memory consumption patterns. By analyzing historical data on how much memory different job types actually consume, the model provides accurate predictions that prevent both over-allocation and under-allocation. This feedback loop enables the system to optimize memory allocation dynamically, ensuring service availability while minimizing resource waste.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of allocating excessive memory for all potential job sizes, the system uses machine learning to determine the partial, precise amount of memory needed for each specific job. The prediction model calculates optimal memory allocation based on job characteristics and historical patterns, allocating only the necessary resources. This partial action approach prevents resource waste while maintaining sufficient capacity to handle variable data sizes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

A system receives job requests comprising associated job names and associated job parameters. The system performs a comparison of a job name and parameters for a first, second, and third job request with information of previously performed jobs and determines a first, second, and third amount of memory to perform the job requests. The system evaluates the first, second, and third amounts of memory with predetermined memory sizes to determine if the memory amounts exceed the predetermined memory sizes. The system negotiates with schedulers from one or more service provider networks to allocate memory from temporary memories for each amount of memory that exceeds the predetermined memory sizes. The system creates a prioritized queue comprising the first, second, and third received job requests for scheduler processing based upon the amounts of memory. The system can use a trained algorithmic model to predict the first, second, and third amounts of memories.
