Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing computing environments face challenges in efficiently managing and optimizing processor speed and capacity boosts, which are temporary increases used to enhance performance, due to limitations in monitoring and controlling boost time and cycles.
Innovation Solution
A computer program product that performs a query operation to obtain and provide boost information for entities within a computing environment, allowing for the monitoring and control of speed and capacity boosts, including total and remaining boost times and cycles, and configuring boost features using feature on demand structures to adjust and override existing limits.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If boost operations are used to temporarily increase processor speed and capacity, then processor performance is improved, but the ability to monitor and control boost time and cycles is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a query operation that retrieves boost information (total boost time, remaining boost time, boost cycles) and provides it in an accessible location. This feedback mechanism allows the system and users to monitor boost consumption and make informed decisions about resource allocation and performance optimization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary query operation as a mediator between the boost operation and the system. This intermediary retrieves and structures boost information, making it accessible for monitoring and control purposes without directly interfering with the boost operation itself.
2Power
If processor speed and capacity are adjusted through boost operations, then processing capability is enhanced, but control over boost consumption is limited
Solution Approach 1:
By providing query operations that return boost information in an accessible location, the system enables operators to monitor boost consumption in real-time. This feedback allows for better control decisions regarding when and how to apply boost operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically manages boost operations and tracks consumption through the query mechanism, reducing the need for manual intervention while providing sufficient information for operators to make informed decisions about resource management.
3Ease of operation
If boost information is made accessible for monitoring and control, then system management is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The query operation serves multiple functions: it retrieves boost information, provides it in an accessible location, and enables both monitoring and control capabilities through a single unified mechanism, avoiding the need for separate complex systems for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The query operation acts as a simple intermediary that handles the complexity of information retrieval and presentation, shielding the user from underlying system complexity while providing comprehensive boost management capabilities.

AI summary
A query operation is performed to obtain information for a select entity of a computing environment. The information includes boost information of one or more boost features currently available for the select entity. The one or more boost features are to be used to temporarily adjust one or more processing attributes of the select entity. The boost information obtained from performing the query operation is provided in an accessible location to be used to perform one or more actions to facilitate processing in the computing environment.
