Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a centralized management system is used to manage computing resources, then resource allocation control is improved, but scalability deteriorates as the number of processing elements increases
Solution Approach 1:
The centralized management system is segmented into distributed resource management agents deployed across multiple processing elements. Each agent independently manages resources for its local processing element while communicating with others to achieve system-wide optimization, thereby maintaining control reliability while improving scalability.
Solution Approach 2:
A token-based intermediary mechanism is introduced where processing elements exchange tokens representing computing resources. These tokens act as mediators that enable decentralized resource allocation decisions while maintaining system-wide resource constraints, resolving the contradiction between centralized control and distributed scalability.
2Device complexity
If a decentralized self-organized system employing swarm intelligence is used, then scalability is improved, but resource utilization prediction capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Resource utilization prediction models are executed in advance to forecast future resource needs before actual resource allocation occurs. This preliminary action enables the decentralized system to make informed resource exchange decisions, compensating for the lack of centralized prediction capability while maintaining scalability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback loops where resource utilization measurements are continuously monitored and fed back to update prediction models. This feedback mechanism enables decentralized agents to learn and improve their prediction accuracy over time, addressing the initial limitation of resource utilization prediction in swarm-based systems.
3Adaptability or versatility
If swarm intelligence rules are used for resource management, then system adaptability is improved, but guarantee of resource consumption within available limits deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Tokens serve as intermediaries that embody and track resource consumption limits. The total number of tokens in the system is constrained to match available resources, and token exchanges between processing elements automatically enforce these limits. This intermediary mechanism maintains resource consumption guarantees while preserving the adaptability of swarm intelligence rules.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts token allocation parameters based on changing resource availability and workload conditions. By modifying token distribution parameters while maintaining the invariant that total tokens equal total available resources, the system adapts to changing conditions while guaranteeing resource consumption remains within available limits.

AI summary
Systems, computer-implemented methods and/or computer program products that facilitate management of resources are provided. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method comprises: employing, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, at least one model to predict respective token needs by a set of processing elements during execution of a workload; and exchanging, by the system, one or more tokens between a subset of the processing elements as a function of the predicted token needs.
